Sydney is home to some of the most significant and world-famous landmarks. These attractions will help you explore every bit of this grand city at its best. Plan what you are going to visit during your tour and make the best of it.
The architect behind the grand concept of the Sydney Opera House was chosen after a tough competition. Even he didn't know back then that he would be creating an architectural marvel like this. You may just choose to explore its elegant exterior (which is totally free!) or else take a guided tour to know it inside out. Do this during your stay in Sydney where you can find some of the best places offering accommodation. Sydney Airport International offers easy access to some of the best 4-star hotels around such as the Citadines Connect Sydney Airport.
It is a collection of old buildings, a market, and an impressive shopping mall! This is one of the most ancient neighbourhoods of Australia that was once used by sailors and prostitutes. But, today, it is a town that has trendy boutique shops, pubs, cafes, and narrow streets.
Take your picnic blanket, wine bottle, and hat, and then head to Observatory Hill. This is the perfect place to enjoy 360-degree views of Sydney. And guess what! This is totally free! This was originally built to tell the time correctly by observing the stars. If you want to have a stargazing session here, make sure you do your pre-bookings.
Taronga Zoo in Sydney boasts a good collection of animals from Caribbean Oceans and American jungles. You'll love the adventure that you'll have to go through to get to the zoo as well. It's accessible only by ferry, but if you come from the wharf, you could also take the cable car or bus up to the main entrance.
Located right in the middle of Sydney, the Royal Botanic Garden spans over a land area of 74 acres. This is considered the oldest botanic garden in Australia, and it's home to thousands of exotic plants and trees. It's a free experience, so don't miss out on this!
If you're a foodie and love all things spicy, Chinatown should be a must-visit place for you. Try out all the restaurants and cafes here (if possible) and enjoy the best of Chinese dumplings. Head there in the evening for a greater experience and you won't regret your choice at any cost.
Although this attraction is a place where old industrial relics and architectural pieces have been kept for display, it was once a prison and then a shipyard. You are going to learn a lot about the history and the civilisations if you decide to take a guided tour around this place.
Do you want to know how the freshest forms of seafood are like? Then head to the Sydney Fish Market any day during your holiday for an incredible experience. Go there as early as possible, because that's the time of the day it shows its authenticity at its best.
