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…)

Realtravelers Leigh and Jo describe their trip in detail:

“We headed for a walk around Madison Square Garden and what is called Midtown. Lots of shops and thousands of people. We had a great time just walking around exploring and feeling very small against sky scraper after sky scraper. In the afternoon we decided to put our weekly metro passes into good use (very inexpensive $24 for the week!) and so got off at a stop by Central Park. It was such a lovely day so we decided to go to the shops and get food for a picnic.” (more…)
