Destination Details

  • Situated at the foot of the Blue Mountains on Australia’s east coast, Sydney is best known for its incredible coastline and iconic Opera House.

  • Local Culture and Flavor

    • With its distinctive sail-like design, the Sydney Opera House takes center stage in the harbor. But it’s the soaring Harbour Bridge that dominates the skyline, with views from practically every corner of the city. The arch alone weighs some 30,000 tons, and from end to end stretches 1,560 feet. Today, Sydney Harbour is one of Australia’s most iconic landmarks, providing a gateway to this vibrant international city celebrated for its welcoming nature and cultural attractions.

    • There’s also Darling Harbour and Circular Quay, which serve as hubs for waterfront shopping and dining. Visitors will want to check out the new rooftop bars, theatre shows and designer shops that seem to be constantly popping up. Naturally, seafood plays a starring role on the menu, with must-try specialties including barramundi, John Dory, yellowfin tuna, giant rock oyster and Australian prawns. Other favorites among Sydneysiders are classic fish and chips and Australian meat pie. Show Less

Things to See and Do

  • Discover exciting sites and attractions both in and around Sydney.

  • Sydney Harbour Bridge

    • Experience Sydney in all its glory by taking part in a Sydney Harbour Bridge climb or a scenic helicopter flight over the city! Ten years in the making, this steel-arch bridge opened in 1932 and is one of the longest bridges in the world, serving as the primary transportation link between the charming neighborhoods on the North Shore and the metropolis on the south. Along its length, it features a highway, 4 railroad tracks and 2 walkways.

  • Sydney Opera House

    • Designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon in 1956, this magnificent building is Australia's most iconic landmark. Its commanding presence is suggestive of a yacht's sails soaring in the wind. The best way to experience the interior is to attend a performance, but you can also take a guided tour.

    • Located in the heart of the city near the Opera House, Circular Quay offers great harbor views, fantastic restaurants and lots of things to see and do, including the Art Gallery of New South Wales. The Harbour Bridge and the historic George Street district are both a short walk away. You can also catch a 45-minute ferry ride to Manly Beach from here.

  • Darling Harbour

    • Delight in a pedestrian district filled with street performers and family-friendly entertainment. Just a short ferry ride away from Circular Quay, Darling Harbour is a shopping mecca filled with fashionable shops, cozy cafés and trendy restaurants. The Australian National Maritime Museum can also be found here.
