Sightseeing in Sydney

Sydney is the most popular tourist destination in Australia. It is a vibrant and busy city, with not only cultural, historical, entertainment attractions but also full of Australian icons and true beauty. The capital of New South Wales is not only a fantastic destination in itself but also the gateways to some great holiday spots around the state.

The first spot most tourists visit whilst in Sydney are the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. If visiting Sydney during New Years, one must take a trip to see the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the fire works which take place here each New Years Eve. Located on the beautiful Sydney Harbour. This is a great place to check out the water ways, have a picnic or for the more adventurous grad a tour guide and take a walk along the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Both are popular with locals, tourists and the odd Australian celebrity. For man this is "the place to be".

There are many ways to get around Sydney, tourists can hire a car and explore the sights themselves or can take advantage of a cruise boat along the harbour. A cruise is a fantastic idea as there are tour guides on board who can help explain a little bit more about Sydney itself, the harbour, the bridge and many other sights one will see along the way. Another great way to see Sydney is by Hot Air Balloon, on the outskirts of Sydney visitors will be able to take a trip in the morning over Sydney and the harbour. A great and unique way of seeing Sydney from a birds eye view.
