When it comes to Australia the first place that comes to mind is the city of Sydney. It may not be the capital, but the iconic harbour and the opera house makes it stand out from the rest;
Symbolic to Australia, the opera house is the first attraction that comes to mind when one thinks of Australia. Resembling the sails of a ship the opera house flaunts exquisite architecture that while being constructed was well beyond its time. The opera house adorns the Sydney harbour and the picture in its entirety is magnificent to say the least.
Also, within the vicinity is the famous Sydney harbour bridge. Yet another historical marvel, the bridge flaunts a unique design and boasts a structure worthy of awe. If you want to do justice to your harbour bridge visit, make sure you try out one of the bridge climb expedition packages.
Sydney is a coastal city and its beaches are among its biggest attractions. The famous Coast Bondi stands out in the list. Apart from having one of the finest shores, Coast Bondi is known for the infamous walk all the way from this coast to Congee. This walk is not just relaxing it also provides lots of insight into the rich history of Australia.
Although Madame Tussauds is often associated with the attractions in the UK there is quite a famous one in Australia as well. The Madame Tussauds in Sydney is home to the wax figures of a number of famous people. Photographs you take with the wax figures are so real that you can pretend to your friends back home that you actually met some of them!
For all those visiting Sydney with the family stopping by the Toranga Zoo is a must do. This zoo has a collection of interesting species from both Australia and around the world providing plenty of edutainment for both the young and the old alike. Among the inhabitants of the zoo are all-time favourites such as kangaroos, koalas, lions, chimpanzees and even gorillas.
If you want to enjoy some unforgettable panoramic views of the Sydney city, it does not get better than the Sydney Tower. The Sydney Tower is the highest viewing point in the city and gives you a nutshell version of all the amazing buildings and places Sydney has in store. Even if you are staying at the Oaks On Castlereagh or any other apartment hotel in Sydney you may be lucky enough to spot it all the way from the top of the Sydney Tower.
This Art Gallery is one of the finest spaces for art in Australia and the best part is that it is located within the central business district itself. Here you will find art that ranges from the traditional aboriginal to the modern masterpieces.
Although concrete is the highlight of the Sydney city the royal botanical garden is an oasis of Green amidst this concrete jungle. Adorned with flowers and a picture-perfect backdrop, the botanical garden is a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
