A holiday in Sydney will take you to the vibrant Australian metropolis that attracts visitors worldwide with countless attractions and activities, including arguably the most famous opera house of all time. The relaxed beachside atmosphere of the capital of New South Wales is combined with countless restaurants and nightclubs, as well as a wide selection of international shops and small boutiques. The warm climate during the European winter months makes Sydney a beautiful holiday destination.
Sydney Festival
In January, Sydney hosts one of the continent’s most spectacular festivals, attracting more than 200,000 visitors yearly. More than 700 artists showcase their talents; free concerts are always organized. The festival was launched in 1977 and has grown in popularity ever since. Today, it is best known for its contemporary programmes. But the January festival is not the only one. Throughout the year, especially between January and March, the cultural metropolis of Sydney hosts one event after another.
One of the most beautiful beaches
If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city and find hidden corners away from Sydney’s tourist attractions, such as Byron Bay, a walk from Bondi to Coogee is a great opportunity to change scenery. Here, you can stroll along rugged coastlines, see some of the city’s most luxurious homes and relax on golden beaches.
Harbour Bridge
For photography enthusiasts, the Harbour Bridge is a must-see. It offers one of the city’s most beautiful views and great panoramic shots of the Sydney skyline. Whether you are brave enough to take a railing tour or want to stroll across the bridge, the view is simply unbeatable. A tip for your trip to Sydney: visit the bridge at sunset, when the city is bathed in the subtle light of the evening sun.
The sunny city is the perfect starting point even if you want to travel around Australia. To the west of Sydney, for example, lies the beautiful region of South Australia. Travelling to Melbourne along the Great Ocean Road or the Gold Coast in Queensland is also very popular. A domestic flight is a good option if you prefer more remote regions such as Alice Springs, Western Australia, the Kangaroo Islands or the Northern Territory.
