Sydney City

If it’s your first visit to Sydney on holidays, the first place you'll want to need to visit is Sydney Harbour. Although it's one of the most photographed locations in the world, nothing can compare to seeing the harbour, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House with your own eyes. Take a stroll along Circular Quay and soak up the atmosphere, or catch a ferry to Cockatoo Island or Watsons Bay and enjoy the beauty of the harbour and its surroundings. As well as being a main transport hub, Circular Quay has some of Sydney’s best restaurants, including Quay Restaurant, ARIA Sydney, Cafe Sydney, and Guillaume at Bennelong, located beneath the sails of the Opera House.

In the heart of the CBD in Sydney is the Queen Victoria Building, another must-see attraction. Dating back to the 1890s, this grand and beautiful building is now one of the city's premier shopping destinations.

Only a ten minute stroll from the Sydney Town Hall, Darling Harbour is the perfect place to entertain the whole family, enjoy a delicious harbourside meal, or experience Sydney’s energetic nightlife. Darling Harbour is also where you’ll find the Chinese Gardens of Friendship, the SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium and the WILD LIFE Sydney.

For a bird’s eye view of Sydney, head to the summit of Sydney Tower Eye. From here, you'll enjoy views stretching across the city centre, out to the Pacific Ocean and west to the Blue Mountains. Thrill-seekers should try the Sydney Skywalk experience, a moving, glass-floored viewing platform at the top of Sydney Tower Eye. Also at the top, the Sydney Tower Buffet offers banquet-style dining with 360 degree views of the city as you enjoy a relaxing meal. Take advantage of the special offer where kids eat free on selected days all year round for lunch and dinner.
