From the fun-loving people, incredible food, to the endless cultural and outdoor attractions within easy reach, Sydney is a city that will have you coming back for more.

Sydney City & CBD Attractions, Top Things To Do & Tourist Landmarks




Then there are the iconic attractions of Sydney, which should not be missed. On the top of the list is the Sydney Opera House; perhaps the most famous landmark in town. This stunning structure is perched right on Sydney Harbour at the city’s edge, but there’s more to it than just its beautiful façade. Step inside to catch a show, or admire the work of Jørn Utzon.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is another heritage-listed landmark worth checking out. Make like a local and appreciate the panoramic views of the harbour while climbing the bridge or commuting to the lower north shore. Don’t forget to bring your camera: the Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of the most photographed attractions in town for good reason.

Sydney is home to many charming seaside towns, but among them, Manly is perhaps the most popular. A short ferry ride from the CBD takes you to a laid-back suburb filled with dozens of watering holes, fantastic restaurants, and great cafés to unwind in. If you feel like getting some exercise in, the Manly coastal walk is highly recommended.

Old world meets new at The Rocks; a cute historical precinct dotted with colonial charm and architecture. It placed Sydney on the map historically, because it’s the area first colonized by the Europeans back in the 18th century. Several old buildings are still around today and have been transformed into hip bars, markets, cafes, and galleries.
