The unforgettable travel destinations, the essence of Sydney guide

The most beautiful scenery in Sydney is almost all concentrated around the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, which are also must-visit spots for tourists in Sydney. Here's a summary of the best places to visit in Sydney for you. Climb the Harbour Bridge Duration: 3.5 hours Many people always see the Harbour Bridge from afar in various places in Sydney, but in fact, the Harbour Bridge can be climbed. Climbing the Harbour Bridge requires advance reservation and payment, and you need to wear their clothing, cannot carry any personal items, and photos are taken by the service company. The quality is average, but once you actually climb up, you can overlook the Sydney Opera House, various buildings, and the bridge. Even if the photos are blurry, it all feels very meaningful. The Harbour Bridge is 134 meters high, and climbing it is truly meaningful, and some people even propose marriage up there. Royal Botanic Garden Duration: 2 hours The Royal Botanic Garden is really great to visit, especially on sunny days when many people run and walk here. From this spot, you can see both the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge in one frame, which is a must-visit. I really love this place, and when I visit Sydney again, I want to take a leisurely walk here. It's also a great place for photography, with every shot looking like a masterpiece. Sydney Opera House Visit with the Royal Botanic Garden, suitable for a 2-hour stay The Sydney Opera House, as the most famous building in the Southern Hemisphere and an iconic building of Australia, is very close to the Royal Botanic Garden, so you can visit them together. The coastal area outside is a great place to enjoy afternoon tea and dinner, with many pigeons by the sea, and there are also many cruises setting sail here. If you want to go whale watching, you can also buy tickets and board a ship nearby. Darling Harbour Darling Harbour has fewer visitors than the Sydney Opera House, but there are some light and fountain shows at night. It also has the world's largest W Hotel, which is a favored destination for many tourists. Chinatown You must visit Chinatown when you come to Sydney. If you're not used to Western food, then the Chinese food, hot pot, and bubble tea here will be your best choice. There are many Chinese people and Chinese-owned shops here, and naturally, the prices are much higher than in China, but the delicious food can really be a lifesaver. Day Trips: Central Coast/Hunter Valley If you have time, you can rent a car and drive yourself, you just need a driver's license + translation document to rent a car, but remember that Australia has right-hand drive. You can drive north to the Central Coast, where there are oyster experiences and some nice estate restaurants, perfect for a weekend getaway. I really love Hunter Valley, where you can experience hot air ballooning. Moreover, the hot air balloon experience here is one of the best in the world, and after the experience, there's delicious breakfast and wine. The sunset in Hunter Valley is beautiful, with many wineries, restaurants, and lakes, making it a favorite holiday destination for Sydney residents.
