A city bursting with character, culture and classic experiences; an urban beach lifestyle and the world's most stunning harbour.
Take in a performance at Sydney Opera House or sail beneath the Harbour Bridge; go kayaking to discover the foreshore and enjoy a picnic at a secluded sandy beach.
The oldest, largest and, some say, the most beautiful city in Australia is renowned for much more than its famous landmarks. The city has first-class restaurants, fresh seafood, myriad harbour experiences, sparkling beaches, fantastic shopping and countless art and culture festivals and events taking place throughout the year.
Beyond the city make sure you take the time to explore the stunning coastline south of the city, or take a day trip to the Blue Mountains or the Hunter Valley for a wine tasting tour.
