A brief introduction to Sydney

Home to golden sand beaches, iconic architecture, and an energetic nightlife, Sydney is a global cultural hub brimming with activities for every type of traveller.

Start your trip with a visit to Circular Quay harbour, where you can marvel at some of Sydney’s most iconic landmarks including the Sydney Opera House and the huge, arched Harbour Bridge. About a 10-minute taxi ride away you will find The Rock - a historic neighbourhood known for high-end boutiques, upscale restaurants and swanky lounges. Sydney’s lively nightlife is best experienced in the pubs and concert venues in the nearby districts of Paddington and Newtown.

To the east of the city, you’ll find one of Sydney’s most popular beaches: the white-sand crescent of Bondi Beach. Filled with tourists and surfers, this beach is popular for its watersports and is lined with burger shacks and other casual eateries. From here, you can also take the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk – a popular clifftop amble that will take you through picturesque bays (such as Gordon’s Bay), rocky inlets, and ocean pools.
