Australia’s largest city, Sydney caters to all types of travellers with striking architecture, golden sand beaches, and fascinating museums.

Start your trip by visiting Circular Quay, where you'll find some of the city's most iconic landmarks, including the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Nearby, you can explore the renowned Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), take a leisurely stroll through the stunning Royal Botanic Garden, or explore The Rocks - a historic urban locality that offers a plethora of options for dining, drinking, and shopping along its charming laneways, all set against the backdrop of the spectacular harbour.

Sydney also has a number of hidden gems that can be easily accessed by ferry from Circular Quay. Don't miss out on the opportunity to visit Watsons Bay, home to a quaint lighthouse and famous for its delicious fish and chips, the UNESCO-listed Cockatoo Island, or the surfer's paradise of Manly Beach, all of which are located within a 30-minute journey.

The city also serves as a perfect starting point for those looking to explore some of New South Wales' most stunning natural wonders. Outdoor enthusiasts are recommended to explore the vast expanse of the Blue Mountains to the west of the city or bask in the golden sands of Bondi Beach, located on the eastern outskirts of Sydney.

For those interested in taking a day trip, a visit to the Australian capital city of Canberra is highly recommended and can be reached within 3 hours. This historic city offers a wealth of attractions to explore, such as New Parliament House and Old Parliament House, which have been transformed into the Museum of Australian Democracy. Additionally, Mount Ainslie provides an exceptional vantage point from its 843-meter-high summit, offering uninterrupted panoramic views of the cityscape.

Sydney is known for its diverse and delicious food scene, providing a variety of cuisines and flavours to suit every taste. Izakaya Fujiyama is the go-to spot for delicious Japanese cuisine, beer, and sake in the city. Dish portions are designed for sharing, and the extensive 85-strong sake list is a standout feature. Be sure to arrive early to secure a table or take a seat at the bar to watch the expert chefs in the open kitchen at work. If you are in the mood for a steak, Porteno has everything you are looking for. The popular Argentinian steakhouse is one of Sydney’s culinary hotspots, with a line of eager diners often stretching out the door almost any night of the week. Among the many mouth-watering options on offer, the eight-hour wood-fired lamb and pig are must-try specialities. We also recommend visiting the lantern-slung restaurants located around Kensington Street, the diverse international flavours being served up at Darling Harbour, and the upscale high-end restaurants of Barangaroo.
