Sydney holidays offer a wealth of iconic sights, an energetic city centre and plenty of fabulous sandy beaches.

One of the world’s most iconic and photographed cities, Sydney has a stunning harbour location and myriad attractions. Home to the sweeping curve of Sydney Harbour Bridge and glistening sails of the famous Opera House, the city also boasts a beautiful blend of modern and heritage architecture, excellent shopping and a fantastic restaurant and bar scene.

Discover the historic Rocks area and the buzz of Darling Harbour, stroll through the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens and watch the surfers at Bondi Beach. For the best views in Sydney, take a harbour cruise or scale the heights of the famed bridge on an organised climb.

The Rocks area in Sydney has a huge amount of history about the city and the early settlement into Australia itself. Weather you're a history buff, a foodie or interested in a ghost tour, The Rocks offers tours for everyone!

Do one of Sydney's fabulous coastal walks. Coogee to Bondi is probably the most famous (and rightly so), but there are several other options including the stunning Rose Bay to Watsons Bay hike. Take a swimsuit and make a day of it stopping en route to swim in the quiet bays.

Lauren McLeod - Sydney expert

If you're in Sydney in the summer and like to swim then check out the Boy Charlton Pool. This harbourside pool has fab views over the bay and is the best place for an inner city swim. Afterwards grab a coffee and stroll through the Botanic gardens to the Opera House. It's the perfect Sydney morning!
