A holiday to Sydney is, for many, a once-in-a-lifetime trip. From your first glimpse of the iconic harbour to seeing surfers at Bondi Beach to experiencing the city’s friendly cosmopolitan vibe, you’re in for a jaw-dropping ride you’ll never forget.
With more than 100 beaches across the city, having sand between your toes is a big part of life in Sydney. Bondi is one of the best known, where surfing and strutting go hand in hand with healthy eating cafes and yoga. While safety signs and lifeguards warn about the notorious rip currents here, there are also more secluded child-friendly beaches with calmer seas to choose from, such as Clovelly in the southeast.
Away from the coast, the city centre is packed with museums, galleries and gardens that are essential stops for your itinerary. Seek out aboriginal art at the Art Gallery of NSW, taste bush foods on a Royal Botanical Gardens guided tour, and imagine life at sea at the Maritime Museum.
More of a night owl? Sydney’s nightlife scene is buzzing with cocktail bars, craft beer pubs and fashionable drinking holes, so no two nights need be the same. Evenings are also memorable for foodies and music lovers – think waterfront dining and concerts at the Sydney Opera House, which is as impressive inside as it is out.
While there's more than enough to keep you busy in Sydney, the surrounding countryside is irresistible too. Take a day trip to the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains for hiking or head to Hunter Valley to taste some of Australia’s finest wines. To the north, the Ku-ring-gai Chase National park is crammed with indigenous culture, or go southbound to walk the beautiful trails and coastal paths of the Royal National Park.
Australia's size, thrillingly diverse landscapes and relatively hassle-free driving make it the perfect candidate for an epic road trip - here are 7 of the best.
