Could you suggest good places of interest for tourists at Sidney?

Question

Tell me more about these places and what to look out for. Thanks and have a nice weekend :)

Answer 1

Will you have a car? West Head is a beautiful national park overlooking Pittwater and Broken Bay to the north of Sydney. The wildflowers are all out and looking starry, there's 1km walks and 10km. Don't forget to drive out to the end for breath taking views & toilet (c;

The blue mountains is also beautiful and can be reached by train. There are great walks from Wentworth Falls, Katoomba, Black Heath and all the rest. Lots of lovely cake too

Within Sydney I really enjoy the coast walk from Bondi around to Bronte ...you can walk further but I always get stuck at a cafe (c;
There's lots of really lovely harbourside parks ...Nielsen Park, Balmoral, Berry Island, Parsley Bay to have a picnic in if the weather's fine

The ferry is a lovely way to get around Sydney....

Watsons bay for fish and chips

Balmain for a look at at the tight streets and old houses ...catch the ferry to Birchgrove and walk to Darling Street Wharf, stopping for a big cup of coffee and some shopping in Darling Street. If you're there on a Saturday the markets are on
Various markets:

Manly for a stroll around to Shelly Beach & an icecream OR if you've got springy legs the 'Manly to the Spit' walk has wonderful harbour views

Taronga Zoo can also be reached by ferry

If you don't have the $$$$ for the bridge climb, its free to walk over it and costs only a little bit to visit the little museum inside the south east pylon

Sydney Theatre Company, Angel Place and Belvoir Street Theatre are great places to spend an evening. Sydney also has a great live music scene.

Never hurts to check the newspaper...

If you're just exhausted, why not spend a lazy afternoon in the Botanic Gardens. If you're feeling a bit cultural, you could drop in to the Art Gallery of New South Wales or not...

Answer 2

If I ever get back to Sydney I plan to pay the price and climb the Harbor Bridge. I have seen photos and videos taken from the bridge and the view is spectacular. And, the bragging rights are nothing to sneeze at either.

Check out this site:

Oh, if you have a fear of heights this may not be your thing...

I would want to see the Opera House up close. The architecture fascinates me.

Last but not least, spend some time meeting the people. There are some great folks in that city as well as the rest of the country. I would like nothing better than to have a fat wallet and a year to spend it all in Australia.

Have a great trip... Hey you don't have any space in your luggage do you? I'm under 5' 9" and could get down to 140 pounds if you give me a couple of weeks. Man I envy you...

Answer 3

The best place to start would be What's on in Sydney here

While the Bridge climb is popular, it is very expensive and you can not take your camera or anything else with you. You are dressed in grey overalls with no pockets so you cannot carry your camera, phone or anything else. They take your photograph at the top of the Bridge and you get a copy but you cannot take your own. This prevents people dropping cameras and phones onto the cars driving below. The views are certainly spectacular.

Answer 4

Darling Harbour
Taronga Zoo
Take a ferry ride
