Top Places to See in Sydney
Hand-picked by our travel experts — the experiences that define this destination.
Harbour City — Opera House, Bondi Beach & the Great Outdoors
Sydney is a city that wears its beauty effortlessly. The harbour — with the Opera House on one shore and the Harbour Bridge on the other — is one of the world's great urban landscapes, a setting so spectacular that it seems almost unfair. Add to this the golden arc of Bondi Beach, the lush Royal Botanic Garden, and the vibrant neighbourhoods of Surry Hills, Newtown and Paddington, and you have a city that is as liveable as it is beautiful.
Sydney is also the gateway to some of Australia's most extraordinary natural wonders — the Blue Mountains just 90 minutes away, the Hunter Valley wine region, the pristine beaches of the Northern Beaches, and the wildlife of Taronga Zoo.
The city's food scene is world-class — driven by its multicultural population and extraordinary access to fresh seafood, produce and wine. From a flat white at a Surry Hills café to a degustation at a harbour-view restaurant, Sydney eats and drinks with a confidence and quality that rivals any city on earth.
