Sydney is known for its golden stretches of sands, diverse cultural and entertainment venues, an interesting dining scene and pleasant weather throughout the year. This luxurious city built on an incredible harbour is one of the biggest and most populated cities in Australia and invites more than a million tourists every year. Here is a glimpse of why this city is a must-visit.
Sydney Harbour is one of the most beautiful harbours in the world and the iconic picture of the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and the waters all together in one frame is well known around the world. To witness this breathtaking sight in reality, the ideal option is to book a seat on the Sydney Harbour dinner cruise, a popular attraction among Sydneysiders. Cruise on the multi-million dollar catamaran with modern interiors and expansive outer decks and take in the views of the city skyline along with the harbour landmarks. Later you can sate your appetite with a freshly cooked dinner along with some fizzy drinks and beverages that can be purchased from the onboard bar. This harbour cruise dinner also offers impressive photo ops for you and your companions so be on the lookout!
A must have on your Sydney itinerary is Bondi, one of the best beaches in the city. Although it may get busy during times, this iconic stretch of golden sands with reliable waves is a culturally diverse tourist hub with over a dozen shops, cafes, water activities, coastal walks and an exciting night life is a must-visit for tourists and locals alike. Learn to ride a wave here with Bondi surfing, a tutorial which includes all the essentials to know about catching a wave. Go for a swim at one of the most photographed ocean pools in Australia, the Bondi Iceberg Pool. Come here before sunrise and watch the sun gleaming over the waters, as waves crash onto the walls of the pool, an ideal way to start a day off. If you're looking to get in shape while having some fun in the meantime, attempt the Bondi to Cooge coastal walk, a six kilometer stretch of coastline with amazing views.
Finally, on the list, is Nicholson Museum, located near the University of Sydney in Camperdown. A visit to the local museum is a must, especially if you're visiting a city like Sydney where art and culture is prevalent. This museum displays archeological materials, and other artefacts of artistic significance from across the globe, notably, Egypt, Greece, Italy, Cyprus, Mesopotamia, and the Middle East.
