Exploring Sydney

written by Teresa Nielsen

Good day mate! We are off to visit one of Australia’s most stunning cities, Sydney! With dozens of attractions to choose from, Sydney is the perfect place to make a getaway. First stop, gain insight and discover the history of Australia at The Rocks. Here, visit the Sydney Observatory and the spectacular Sydney Harbour Bridge. Feeling adventurous? Take a guided tour of the bridge, and hold on tight as you climb to the top! Offering breathtaking views, this site provides a great way to see the entire city! Next, visit Darling Harbour—the name says it all! Home to many shops and eateries in Sydney, go for a stroll here and get a taste of the city and even visit the Sydney Aquarium! No trip to Australia is complete without a visit to Bondi Beach and the Royal Botanical Gardens.

Ian and Magda visited Sydney recently and shared their impressions:

“Sydney Harbor is the most famous harbor is Australia and perhaps in the world. For good reason. Centered around “Circular Quay”, the sight of the original settlement, the harbor offers incredible views in all directions, most views include the famous Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbor Bridge. On a sunny day (most days) ferries bring in commuters from all parts of the harbor and its surrounding bays, the morning sun sparkling on the gentle rippling surface of the shark infested waters, the Opera House bathed in morning gold. The Bridge spans the Harbor like a welcome home banner.” (more…)

Recounting her visit to Sydney, RealTravel enthusiast loraloralora writes:

“We got off at Circular Quay and decided to buy a DayTripper pass, which costs $16 and gives unlimited rides on the trains, ferries, and buses, as well as discounts at a lot of the things we wanted to see today. After we got the passes, we walked to the Opera House and got onto the 10:00am tour, which was great because we got there at 9:55. Our tour guide, Nick, met us right on time and told us that we’d be going up and down a lot of stairs on the tour. This was when we realized that between the BridgeClimb, the pylon lookout, the Blue Mountains hike, and the Opera House tour, Sydney is a city of stairs.” (more…)
