Sydney Attractions

Incorporating the harbour's islands and much of the Foreshore, Sydney Harbour National Park brims with picnic areas, bays, harbour pools and beaches to relax in. It's where ferries, yachts, cruise vessels, jet boats, catamarans and kayaks all jostle for a piece of the world's best harbour.

Laze on a chartered yacht moored in a bay or unwind on a scenic cruise, plenty of which are on offer from Circular Quay or Darling Harbour. Well worth touring are the historically significant Sydney Harbour Islands : Shark, Clark, Goat or Rodd - where you can enjoy a picnic surrounded by the harbour. For further stunning vistas one of the many walks you can go on includes the Hermitage Foreshore walk from Rose Bay to Vaucluse, or from Cremorne Point to Mosman Bay.

Shop in style at the famous Queen Victoria building then discover Castlereagh and Elizabeth Streets, home to many international designer labels. Explore the beautifully restored Victorian shopping arcades, such as the Queen Victoria Building and the Strand Arcade. Visit the Archibald Fountain and ANZAC Memorial in Sydney's famous Hyde Park. Take a walk down to the George Street cinema precinct to catch a latest release movie.

If you're in the mood for an adrenalin surge flash past the Opera House and zoom towards the Heads on a jet boat ride of Sydney Harbour or climb Sydney Harbour Bridge.
