Things to do in Sydney

Great beaches, spectacular shows, fine galleries… it must be Sydney

You’ve just arrived in Sydney, so take a deep breathe and savour the moment. Where do you start in this stylish city with its electric atmosphere and fun-loving attitude? Standing at Circular Quay, there’s the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge on your left, the Opera House on your right and the glorious harbour stretching in all directions.

There’s no doubt Sydney is a thrilling, action-packed destination with a new discovery at every turn.

In Sydney you can interact with just about everything – whether that means climbing to the top of the bridge, going on an adrenaline-pumping jet boat tour of the harbour or splashing about in one of the city’s many harbourside pools.

For a more relaxing pace, head to one of the city’s luxurious day spas or learn about Sydney’s rich cultural heritage on an architecture tour. Wander through the historic Rocks area or head to Darling Harbour, with its great waterfront bars, restaurants, shops and regular free open-air concerts and events. Don’t forget to take a harbour cruise or hop on a ferry around one of the world’s most beautiful harbours for a true Sydney experience.
