Unique things to do in Sydney (Australia)

The local quintessential must-see attraction is the Sydney Opera House. It has become a sort of symbol for the city with its iconic white-shelled roof. While you can walk to a number of viewpoints to gaze at it from afar, it is also possible to take a tour around its interior.

Then, take a walk from North Sydney to the Rocks via the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and overlook the panoramic view of the harbor. While in the Rocks, visit the very first European settlement in Australia. You can also check out a number of cafes and boutiques in the area. Another place to see the harbor is from the Royal Botanic Gardens. They are more than 200 years old and host over 7,000 species of plants.

If you want, try your hand at some surfing at one of Sydney’s many beaches. Whether you head to Bondi, Coogee, Palm Beach, or Manly Beach, you will have plenty of options. Bondi is especially iconic for its oceanfront pool, called the Icebergs. If you have time, rent a car and head out to the Blue Mountains. It lies about an hour and a half from Sydney and has a number of hikes and treks, which gives you a small taste of Australia’s picturesque outdoors.
