Oh, Sydney. The home to the Sydney Opera House, Bondi Beach, and Harbour Bridge. Not just that – the capital city of New South Wales holds plenty of hotels and tourist attractions that will stand the test of time in your memory, and good food that your taste buds won’t be forgetting any time soon!

And with the borders now open, go get your affairs and travel plans in order!

A pro-tip: It is best to visit Sydney between the months of March through May, and September through November to avoid the summer crowd and the freezing winter.

And for great deals on flights? Be sure to get them only on Traveloka!

The gorgeous work of art that is the Harbour Bridge, is also known as the landmark of Sydney.

While you can admire its beauty from a ferry or on a postcard, nothing beats the experience of climbing it yourself and catching the iconic sails of the Opera House from above.

It took eight years to build the iconic bridge, so you best appreciate its beauty up close and personal!
