Best Sydney Day Trips & Things to Do

This glittering metropolis invites visitors to stroll through endless stretches of green, lounge on one of several impeccable beaches - each with its own distinct personality - chomp on some of the most scrumptious food in the Antipodes, and then slowly make their way to the pubs for a half-pint of Australia's finest. In Sydney, lunch break is the perfect time to take a dip, Friday night officially begins at 3 p.m., and weekends are for surfing and boating. In other words, no time is a bad time for some serious R&R. For those intent on seeing the sights, join a wide selection of Sydney tours and head directly to the iconic Sydney Opera House, Royal Botanical Gardens, The Rocks, Circular Quay, and of course, Sydney Harbour Bridge. Any of the worthwhile Australia tours requires a stop in this fantastic city to discover all the best things to do in Sydney, from sightseeing its iconic Sydney attractions to explore its lively nightlife.
