About Sydney

Harbour, beaches and the Opera House

Sydney's harbour is its main event. The Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, the ferries and Bondi Beach are easy to link up in a few days, and the city's food and café culture is excellent.

The Blue Mountains and the Hunter Valley wine region are the main day trips, and a harbour ferry to Manly is the best-value sightseeing ride in the city.

Best time
September to November and March to May, when the weather is warm but not too hot. Summer is hot and busy; winter is mild.
How long
Four days.
Getting around
Trains, ferries and buses with an Opal card, or a contactless card. The ferries double as harbour cruises.
