A brief introduction to Sydney
A cosmopolitan hub of iconic architecture and golden sand beaches, Sydney is a modern city brimming with activities for every type of traveller.
Pay a visit to Circular Quay to find Sydney’s most iconic landmarks: the Sydney Opera House and the arched Harbour Bridge. We recommend visiting the top of the bridge so you can marvel at beautiful views across the city and harbour. From there, explore The Rocks, a historic neighbourhood known for upscale restaurants, trendy lounges and high-end boutiques. Here, you will also find the cutting-edge Museum of Contemporary Art Australia.
On the east coast of Sydney, you’ll find some of the city’s best beaches, including Bondi Beach, which is renowned for its casual eateries and vibrant nightlife. We also recommend taking the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk, a popular clifftop stroll that will take you through picturesque bays and ocean pools. A little further afield, north of the Harbour Bridge, is Manly - one of the city’s most famous surf spots.
