Sydney is a huge icon of Australia - to the point where people often believe its the capital (Canberra has that title by the way!), and it’s a well deserved reputation too since there’s heaps to see and do!
So alongside our awesome Australia arrival packs here’s some of our teams top 10 things to do in Sydney, Australia when you're moving to Australia or travelling to Australia for a holiday.
Climb The Harbour Bridge
If you want to get your adrenaline going how about climbing one of Sydneys icons - the harbour bridge?! You’ll take in incredible views across the city and harbour (yes that includes the Opera House!) and can even choose from a day, sunset or even nighttime experience. Certainly a unique perspective!
Visit Bondi
No visit to Sydney is complete without a trip to the most famous beach in Australia - Bondi. Famous for pumping surf, white sands and of course the local lifeguards it’s a great place to grab coffee, tuck into some great food and relax under the sun
…but also do the Coogee to Bondi walk
If you want to take in some more Aussie beaches the walk between Bondi and Coogee is a must do. Stretch those legs out and take in some of Australias famous coastline, swim in ocean filled swimming pools and at the right time of year even spot some whale migrating up the coast!
Wander Around The Sydney Opera House
Probably the most famous building in Australia! You can wander around the outside for free but if you fancy getting to know it even better there’s plenty of guided tours and performances that allow you to delve even deeper into the White Sails
Take In The View From The Sky Tower
If you fancy a less scary option from the bridge climb (or something a bit more budget friendly!) then the views from the Skytower will fit the bill. Head up later afternoon to watch the sunset and the cityscape light up.
Learn To Surf
No trip to Oz is complete without learning to surf…or at least trying! So get stuck into some surf lessons and embrace the Aussie beach lifestyle!
Party in Kings Cross
If some nightlife is what you’re craving the Kings Cross area of Sydney is full of glorious chaos. If you fancy something a bit tamer thought there’s plenty of bustling bars throughout the city.
Jump On A Sydney Bus Tour
If history is your thing then the hop on hop off buses around Sydney and Bondi are a great way to lean more about this incredible city without having to walk!
Sip A Cocktail At Darling Harbour
Beautiful views across the harbour, an ice cold mojito in hand - no better way to finish a day in Sydney!
Experience Chrismas And New Year In Sydney
For the ultimate Sydney experience Xmas and New Year is the time to visit. Relax with xmas lunch on Bondi Beach, soak up the sun and of course take in the epic firework display across the harbour when the clock ticks down - the Harbour Bridge and Opera House at their most spectacular.
