234 Reviews Nearly all visitors that visit Sydney want to visit the Sydney Opera House while they are here..This wonderful piece of Architecture is a magnet for visitors..it would have to be the most photographed subject in Sydney and it is photographed from all angles to capture its uniqueness..There are just...
200 Reviews After a recent trip to Sydney I visited Sydney Aquarium. Was a great day out...well 3 hours - this gives you plenty of time.

The Rocks and Circular Quay Restaurants
90 Reviews After reading a review of this restaurant; my husband and I decided to check it out for ourselves. After a walk in the Rocks we wandered over to the restaurant to take a look at the posted menu. Both of us liked what we saw; especially their pasta night on Wednesdays for $28 per person. We decided...
45 Reviews Chinatown has many restaurants and food courts offering a huge variety of dishes from all regions of China. The food court at Sussex Centre is worth visiting to try the speciality dishes at Happy Chef. The laksa and the seafood noodle soup are as good, or better, than you'll find anywhere.
62 Reviews I first came to visit Marble Bar during my visit in 2006. I recently came back in during our 2010 visit. We had dinner plans but wanted to relax with some drinks before heading on to dinner. I like that this bar is out of the way downstairs and removed from pedestrian traffic; it allows for a more...
12 Reviews Feel the Sydney city by night was a thrilling experience... just stroll around The Rocks, Circular Quay, Darling Harbour... and see the results on my pictures... and be speechless ;-x And if you need more sounds and lights just head to my other nightlife tips!
40 Reviews Sydney Airport Buy MyMulti 1 WEEKLY $41 CHEAPEST way to get in & out of Sydney Airport & get around Sydney for next few days is to fly in p.u. your bags then go downstairs & buy a MyMulti 1 WEEKLY Ticket $41 from the underground Airport train station but - DONT catch the train at the Airport -...
78 Reviews A great way to get around the harbour suburbs is by ferry, which many Sydneysiders use for their daily work commute. You can also buy a Day Tripper pass for A$17 valid for travelling on all ferries (and buses & trains), which you can use to spend the entire day cruising the harbour and exploring...
20 Reviews There is a branded clothing factory outlets in Market City. Market City on the second floor of Paddy's Market. You can buy cloths with factory outlet prices. Shops like Esprit, Cotton On, Giordano, and etc are there. You will be surprised by the price unless you don't see what you like. There is...
44 Reviews Paddys Markets hold over 800 stalls. You can buy almost anything there, from Pets to food. I have bought many pets from paddy's. Its a very cheap place to shop for souveniers also. People are very freindly and there is no bargaining. Its located on the Ground floor of a shopping centre. Souveniers,...
17 Reviews Tipping is not the norm in Sydney. Americans and Europeans often tip but only because they think it is the custom here. Wages are good in Australia and tipping isn't necessary. Last year, I worked in a restaurant in Sydney and only about 5 to 10% of patrons left a tip. Sydneysiders don't like to see...
18 Reviews Kings Cross is the place to be for a gang rape experience by maori bouncers and prostitues whilst your partner gets beaten up out the back. I guess you could say we were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Bag snatching / Pickpockets etc
20 Reviews Sydney is mostly safe, apart from some dodgy areas. Here are some areas that you should avoid and places you should be safe: SAFE: South Sydney (Cronulla, Woolooware, Sutherland). East Sydney (Vaucluse, Rose Bay, Double Bay). Bondi (relatively safe) Most of the city AVOID: Redfern (if you have...
17 Reviews Watch out with souvenir shops. Some shops charge 3 times as much as other for exactly the same item. Usually the shops in the main streets and fancy shopping malls are expensive, but you really need to be careful. If you find a shop that is cheap for one item, it may well be expensive for another....
35 Reviews Australians are very laid back when it comes to most things including clothing. So wear what you would normally feel comfortable in. Sydney enjoys a long summer with warm weather. The temperature ranges from 18°C to 32°C in summer, with occasional hot spells of over 38°C. Humidity in summer ranges...
87 Reviews After visiting Botany Bay National Park we drove down to Cape Solander to admire the views from the cliffs. The views here really are breathtaking; almost as if you are standing on the edge of the world when you are on the cliff tops. I can only imagine how Captain Cook and the crew of the Endeavour...
28 Reviews The higher the better! A good address if you want to admire Sydney from the heights and save some $$$. The great views will cost you only the price of a drink of your choice... compare to the AU$ 25 of the Sydney tower without drink ;-) So head to Australian Square Tower (170 m high) designed by...
12 Reviews With all the beaches and fantastic coat; no wonder surfie is a popular activity in Sydney. The surf can really pound in some areas and the surfers navigate with skill that it amazing. Surf boards are available for rent at most beaches along with surf lessons. Surf Board and some tasty waves....
64 Reviews A close friend lives not 50 metres from this beach, so I know it well. This beach is for swimmers as well as surfers. It is clean and well visited. Whether you want a walk along the beach, have a nice refreshing swim, or just want to sit at one of the cafes and admire the view of the beach, this is...
43 Reviews What you now have is an Entertainment Centre, Sydney Aquarium, Star City Casino, IMAX Theatre (pic 4), Powerhouse Museum, 5 star accommodation - and that's just to name a few! There are also pleasant things like the Japanese Gardens and lots of fountains. Needless to say shopping, especially for...
