Stroll across Sydney Harbour Bridge, or climb it if you dare. For panoramic views, ride the elevator to Sydney Tower’s Skywalk platform.

Circular Quay is a jumping point for ferries and harbour cruises, including the popular Manly route. For a leisurely lunch, nothing beats the atmosphere of Darling Harbour’s waterfront cafes, restaurants and cocktail bars.

Sydney CBD boasts some of Australia’s best shopping, with everything from designer labels and high street fashion to vintage boutiques and colourful markets. Pitt Street Mall is lined with glitzy department stores, while Queen Victoria Building and The Strand Arcade are both shopping hubs and architectural gems.
