Upon your arrival in Sydney

Sydney’s Airport Link train is another convenient option, bringing you to the city’s Central and Museum stations in around 20 minutes as well.

A brief introduction to Sydney

The perfect juxtaposition of a cosmopolitan city and boundless natural sights, Sydney is a treat for the senses. From glorious galleries and museums, a diverse dining scene, to the bountiful national parks and beaches that frame the city, there’s something in Sydney for everyone to enjoy.

For the quintessential Sydney experience, begin your trip with a visit to the Circular Quay – home to the iconic Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Nearby, you can also find the iconic Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), the picturesque Botanical Gardens, and The Rocks – an urban locality offering numerous places to eat, drink, and shop against historic laneways and a backdrop of the dazzling harbour.

Sydney’s hidden gems can also be found by ferry from the quay. Be sure to visit Watsons Bay, a picturesque lighthouse spot famous for its fish and chips, UNESCO listed Cockatoo Island, and the surfer’s paradise Manly Beach, all of which are within a 30-minute trip.

The city is also an excellent springboard for some of New South Wales’ best natural sights. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy exploring the expansive Blue Mountains and the golden sand of Bondi Beach, situated on the west and eastern fringes of Sydney, respectively.

Those looking to take a day trip should consider visiting the Australian capital of Canberra, which can be reached in approximately 3 hours. There is plenty to explore in this historic city, including New Parliament House and Old Parliament House, which has now been transformed into the Museum of Australian Democracy. To gaze out over the cityscape, be sure to head to Mount Ainslie as it offers uninterrupted panoramic views from its 843-metre-high summit.
