The perfect blend of land and water, complemented with glittering harbours, spectacular beaches, and numerous iconic landmarks, Sydney is a city that is just meant to be admired. With countless glamorous attractions spread throughout the city, the only problem you'll have is finding enough time to hit them all.
Head over to the famous Sydney Opera House and discover the secrets that make it so inspiring around the world. The distinctive architecture, vibrant performance space, and the surrounding beautiful scenery make it too good for anyone to pass up. Needless to say, Sydney Opera House easily makes it to the top of the travel itinerary of many visitors to Sydney as well as Australia itself.
Just a 15-minute drive away from the city, you will come across the inviting stretch of sand and sea of Bondi Beach. From swimming to surfing and embarking on the popular Bondi to Coogee coastal walk, there's a myriad of things to indulge in to keep yourself busy. The fun on Bondi Beach doesn't end at sunset either, as next comes party time. Once the sun goes down and the darkness descends, the surfers and swimmers turn into party people, and sun loungers and umbrellas make way for beach bars and dance floors.
Packed with fun-filled activities for people of all ages, the waterfront pedestrianised district of Darling Harbour makes for an ideal spot for a family day out. From snapping selfies with celebrities at Madame Tussauds wax museum to watching movies at the 9D theatre and cruising the Sydney Harbour, the list of activities just keeps going on and on. The endless array of activities on offer will certainly take more than just one day, which is why a Sydney Darling Harbour hotel, including the likes of Oaks Sydney Goldsbrough Suites, is a fantastic accommodation choice.
The iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge, also known as the Coathanger, is a must-visit on your trip to Sydney. Connecting the Sydney central business district and the North Shore, this magnificent piece of steel architecture is a hard-to-miss landmark sitting right in the heart of the city. A walk across the bridge or admiring it from below will be just as impressive, but if you desire something more spectacular, you can climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge to enjoy the breathtaking views of the city.
If you are one with a thing for awe-inspiring views, then you should definitely zoom up on the Sydney Tower Eye. At a staggering height of 309 metres, it is the tallest building as well as the best vantage point in the city. The 360 panoramic views of Sydney you get to take in from the Tower Eye are simply out of this world.
