Want to know some of the standout things to do in Sydney? Then have a look through our handpicked suggestions below...
1. The View
Together, the Sydney Opera House and the Harbor Bridge make up the view. The two titans of Sydney Harbour are right up there with other iconic global structures like the Empire State Building and the Eiffel Tower.
2. Kings Cross
Sydney’s a pretty lively sort of place, but things get particularly jumping in the Kings Cross corner of town. Sleazily chic, Kings Cross sends out a siren call to the many student travelers and backpackers in the city, who respond by filling up its many bars whatever the night of the week.
3. Bask on the Beach
...Or rather, beaches. Bondi and Manly may be a little way out of city, but they’re certainly worth it. Great surfing, miles of sand and some of the coolest nightlife in Sydney make them an absolute must for backpackers.
4. Roam the Rocks
Yes, it might be a little twee, but Sydney’s old core undoubtedly has its charms. A smart colonial era quarter, it's home to a variety of boutiques, markets, restaurants and cafés.
5. The Sydney Aquarium
Stretching under Darling Harbour, Sydney Aquarium is one of the best in the world. It’s home to many of the amazing marine specimens that fill Australia's oceans, including a number of species of shark.
