Flake out on sun-drenched beaches, dine at award-winning restaurants and a lot more is what you should get in your visit to Sydney. Discover more with hotelbye . One of many world's great symbols and a certainly must see in Sydney may be the Sydney Opera House, a location is really a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the celebrity appeal on the glittering harbour. That graceful building, formed like shells or billowing sails, perches on a finger of land surrounded by water.

the opera house.
The Sydney Opera House is located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is one of the most distinctive and famous 20th century buildings, and one of the most famous performing arts venues in the world. Situated on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, with parkland to its south and close to the enormous Sydney Harbour Bridge, the building and its surroundings form an iconic Australian image. To some the spherical-sectioned shells are reminiscent of the flotilla of sailboats commonly cruising there. Tourists - mostly with little or no interest in opera - throng to the building in the thousands every week purely to see it.
As well as many touring theatre, ballet, and musical productions the Opera House is the home of Opera Australia, the Sydney Theatre Company and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. It is administered by the Opera House Trust, under the New South Wales (NSW) Ministry of the Arts.

"The Drowning Nun", as it looks like the hats worn by Dutch nuns, such as in the TV series "The Flying Nun".
The Sydney Harbour Bridge is called "The Coathanger".

I've heard it called "Sails" because that's what it looks like.
