Sydney City Travel Guide
Sydney City accommodation, Sydney City activities and attractions, Sydney City maps, transportation to and around Sydney City - the ALL NEW Jasons Sydney City Destination Travel Guide is your complete visitor guide for Sydney City.
With its sparkling harbour, iconic harbour bridge and stunning opera house, Sydney is Australia's largest city. Head down to the waterfront where the historic Rocks area is packed with restaurants, cafés and shops, or enjoy a stroll around Sydney's famous Botanic Gardens. Daredevils can enjoy a guided bridge climb on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, or if that doesn't appeal, catch the lift to the top of the
Centrepoint Sydney Tower for fabulous views across the harbour and city. Shoppers are spoilt for choice with world class boutiques and colourful markets to browse for bargains. Sydney's Darling Harbour is hard to beat for entertainment, with its shopping, dining, casinos, theme parks, the
Sydney Aquarium and vibrant China town.
Sydney's sandy beaches offer a break from the hustle of the central city. Catch the ferry over to Manly Bay or head down to famous Bondi and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere and the great surf. Nature lovers can pay a visit to Taronga Park Zoo or enjoy one of Sydney's scenic walking and cycling trails. Sydney's beautiful harbour walk from Taronga Zoo to Balmoral Beach takes in panoramic coastal views and historic military sites along the way. Further out of Sydney, you can check out native wildlife at the
Australian Reptile Park or
Featherdale Wildlife Park. For a change of pace, book a
harbour cruise to see Sydney from the water.
