End your tour with a glass of beer on the Opera Promenade or a romantic dinner at a waterfront restaurant.

Stroll in The Rocks and Surry Hills, Sydney’s historic and trendy neighborhoods, visit Chinatown, and spend an evening in Darling Harbor- preferably over the weekend- to join the many Australians who come to the restaurants and bars here. Take a walk through Hyde Park and don’t miss out on the Anzac Memorial. And, visit the Queen Victoria building which occupies an entire quarter of the city center – this is late 19th century architecture at its best.

For nature enthusiasts, a visit to the Royal Botanic Garden is a must. Located near the Sydney Opera House, this lush oasis provides a tranquil escape from the bustling city. Bondi Beach, with its golden sand and excellent surfing, is synonymous with Sydney's laid-back coastal lifestyle. Stroll along the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk for stunning ocean views and explore the vibrant beachside community.

Discover numerous cafes, restaurants, and bars serving delicious cuisine from around the world and savor some local Australian delicacies, such as meat pies, Tim Tams, and kangaroo skewers.
