The Tourist’s Guide to Visiting Sydney

Hello!

The Tourist’s Guide to Visiting SydneySydney is Australia’s largest, oldest and most beautiful city. It is also the place where the country’s first European colonizers landed before expanding inland.

Nearly everything here reflects the constant interplay between ocean and continent. The city’s diversity is visible in both its people and its architecture—from the instantly recognizable, seashell-inspired curves of the Sydney Opera House to the massive steel span of the Harbour Bridge.

Although Sydney began as a penal colony, its convict origins are now overshadowed by a vibrant modern metropolis. Remnants of the past—cobbled lanes, historic buildings and traces of the Gadigal Aboriginal people—still sit alongside world-class sights, attractions and experiences that continue to draw visitors from around the globe.

If You’re Only in Town for a Limited Time

The Tourist’s Guide to Visiting SydneyWhen time is short, the first priority is usually finding a safe place to leave your bags. Dragging luggage between attractions is tiring and impractical. The simplest solution is to use one of Sydney’s many luggage-storage services, where you can securely store your belongings for just a few dollars a day.

Plan Ahead & Save

Most travellers know they are visiting Sydney well in advance. Booking tickets and attraction packages early not only saves money but also eliminates queues once you arrive. If you haven’t purchased tickets beforehand, start at the Sydney Tower Eye on the corner of Market Street and Pitt Street. From its observation deck you’ll enjoy 360-degree views of the city and can buy combo passes on the spot.

The Tourist’s Guide to Visiting SydneyThe most popular option is to add extra attractions when you buy your Tower Eye ticket. Popular packages combine the Tower Eye with the Zoo, Sydney Aquarium and Madame Tussauds Sydney. The flexible Sydney Attractions Pass lets you choose two, three or four attractions at a discounted rate and is valid for a set number of days.

Bus Tours & Day-Trip Groups Are Invaluable

“Hop-on, hop-off” bus tours are an effortless way to see the city’s highlights. A single ticket is usually valid for one or two days, so you can explore at your own pace. Day tours are equally convenient for destinations just outside the city centre—mountain and wildlife excursions, for example, include hotel pickup, lunch and entry to Featherdale Wildlife Park.

Don’t Forget to See Where It All Started

The Tourist’s Guide to Visiting SydneyAmid the big-name landmarks lies one of Sydney’s most atmospheric neighbourhoods: The Rocks. This historic precinct is packed with colonial-era buildings, boutique shops, museums and cosy cafés—all within easy walking distance of the Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and Royal Botanic Garden.

Stay Somewhere You & Your Budget Are Comfortable With

Sydney offers accommodation for every budget. Travellers seeking value will find well-kept rooms at the Mercantile Hotel and the Australian Heritage Hotel, both close to major sights. For mid-range comfort, the Little National Hotel Sydney and Ovolo 1888 at Sydney Harbour provide modern amenities in great locations. Families needing more space can choose the apartment-style Sydney Sky Suites, while those wanting luxury can opt for the Four Seasons, Hyatt or The Langham Sydney.
