A brief introduction to Sydney

Brimming with stunning architecture, golden sand beaches, and world class museums, Sydney has plenty to offer to every type of traveller.

Start your trip by visiting Circular Quay harbour, where you can see some of the city’s most well-known attractions, such as the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Just a few minutes away by taxi is The Rock - a famous neighbourhood home to high-end boutiques, trendy restaurants, and upscale lounges.

From Circular Quay harbour, you can access Watson’s Bay, a beautiful lighthouse spot renowned for its delicious fish and chips, UNESCO-listed Cockatoo Island, and Manly Beach. All three destinations can be reached within 30 minutes by ferry.

To immerse yourself in the historical and cultural side of Sydney, be sure to visit the many museums and galleries that can be found throughout the city. Some of the most notable ones include the Australia National Museum and the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

To the east of the city, you will find one of the most iconic beaches in the world - Bondi Beach. Brimming with tourists and surfers, it is a hotspot for watersport enthusiasts and lined with burger shacks and other casual restaurants. While here, you can take a stroll along the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk, which passes through breathtakingly beautiful bays, such as Gordon’s Bay, rocky inlets, and ocean pools.

Those interested in going on a day trip should consider visiting Hunter Valley as it is famed for its artisan foods, including cheeses, chocolates, and honey. We also recommend exploring the World Heritage-listed Barrington Tops and Wollemi National Parks before marvelling at the picturesque landscape in a hot air balloon.
