Nestled at the edge of a peninsula in Bennelong Point, Sydney Opera House is Australia’s iconic landmark that becomes a part of UNESCO World Heritage List. Designed by Danish architect Jorn Utzon, the destination that was first inaugurated in 1973 often hosts live performances, such as theatre, ballet and more. Its unique shape that looks like a shell is the highlight that makes this place a popular tourist attraction in Sdyney.

Sydney Opera House 

Sydney Tower Eye takes you to the highest point above Sydney for breathtaking 360-degree views of the beautiful harbour city, from white sandy beaches and Pacific Ocean horizon to the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains.

Sydney Tower Eye

SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium in Darling Harbour is one of the world's largest aquariums, with 650 species and 12,000 animals in six million litres of water. It has two of only five dugongs on display in the world. Go on a journey of amazing discovery through the Tropical Bay of Rays, Discovery Rockpool, Mangrove Swamps, South Coast Shipwreck, Dugong Island, Shark Walk and the stunning ocean tunnel walk through Shark Valley.

Sea Life Sydney Aquarium

Australia’s oldest park is 16 hectares of beautiful gardens in the heart of the city centre. Replete with 580 exotic and native trees, art works, monuments and water features, Hyde Park is a favourite lunch time spot, and hosts a number of cultural events such as the Night Noodle Markets for Good Food Month each October. Divided by Park Street, the northern end contains the beautiful Archibald Fountain, with its bronze figures from ancient mythology, and a charming avenue of Hill’s Fig trees. The southern end features an ANZAC War Memorial and Pool of Reflections.

Hyde Park

Experience an outback animal adventure right in the centre of the city. Walk through different Australian habitats and encounter some of the most loved, feared and unique native animals. Meet the huge crocodile called Rex, say hello to kangaroos, wallabies and emus, encounter cuddly koalas, beautiful butterflies and more! WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo features interactive displays, and daily keeper talks. You can even fly above Rex on the WILD Flight zip-line.

Wild Life Sydney Zoo

Built on the site of Australia’s first Government House, a stroll from Circular Quay in the city centre, the Museum of Sydney is a fascinating place to explore some of Sydney's dramatic history. The museum uses imaginative and interactive displays, like a miniature First Fleet, offering the visitor a journey back to the moment when the first European eyes set sight on what the First Fleet captain and first governor Arthur Phillip described as "the finest harbour in the world".

Museum of Sydney

This park is in the heart of central Sydney and not far from the Sydney Opera House. Consisting of the Royal Botanic Garden of Sydney, the Domain, the Australian Botanic Garden of Mount Annan, and the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden Mount Tomah, these gardens eventually merge into one management in 2014 named Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain. Not only consists of distinctive beautiful plants, this area also has art galleries, museum, and performing art spaces within the complex.
