World Travel Trips

Sydney, Australia, is truly one of the world’s most beautiful cities. To take a boat tour on Sydney Harbour makes a visit worthwhile in itself. And the stunning, world famous Sydney Opera House sits on a point opposite its twin icon, the famed Harbour Bridge, which joins the southern and northern suburbs of the city. The Opera House has guided tours which take you inside the main halls and, from the forecourt, the view to the Sydney Harbour Bridge is breathtaking.

The CBD of this vibrant, multicultural city is dominated by office towers, many of which are regional headquarters for international corporations. Be sure to take a ferry ride to the seaside suburb of Manly or to Taronga Zoo where you’ll see many indigenous animals. A harbour sightseeing tour is a real thrill, but if you want really fine city and harbour views, climb the Harbour Bridge on a special guided tour.

The city is easy to explore on foot from your Sydney accommodation. Start at the historic Rocks precinct and walk around the harbour foreshore to the Sydney Opera House via Circular Quay. Be sure to stop for some alfresco dining on the way. At the nearby Sydney Botanical Gardens with its rolling lawns, diverse plant collection, and harbour views, you’ll find an interesting visitor information centre. From the gardens it is only a short walk back to the Sydney CBD, and, to the west of the city, is Darling Harbour with its Maritime Museum.
