Once you have fully explored the city, why not head out to one of the many outstanding attractions a short drive away. The Blue Mountains start only 50 minutes away from the city and offer breath taking views of outstanding natural beauty. Manly is only 7 miles from Sydney and features scenic walkways alongside harbour and ocean beaches. Manly is famous for its natural beauty and the best way to get there is by ferry from Sydney Harbour.

Summer is undoubtedly the most popular time of the year to visit Sydney with the warm weather and outdoor activities in full swing. Huge events like the Sydney Festival create a sensational buzz around the city and this is the time of year where you will find the city most occupied. Summer is Sydney is between December and March and you can expect temperatures of between 18.7°C and 25.9 °C.

Autumn starts in March and is the season which celebrates Easter and St Patrick’s day. The average temperatures range from 15 °C to 22 °C and are therefore still great for visiting the beaches. The milder weather is also great for walking tours around the Opera House and the Royal Botanical Gardens. Visitors will find that the city is less busy in the autumn and this is reflected in the cheaper prices for flights and hotels

Winter is not very harsh in Sydney and temperatures should not drop below 8 °C at night. The average day time temperature is a pleasant 16°C and is therefore great for bush walking and touring the city on foot .

Spring is the most popular time to visit Sydney after the summer. It’s a time when the weather is great, and the colours are starting to come alive as the flowers bloom. The beaches start coming alive in the middle of spring as temperatures increase to 22°C in the day time and 13°C at night.

The government Sydney Ferries provide tourists with an inexpensive opportunity to see the harbour and the views that it affords. The hub of the harbour is Circular Quay, a ferry terminus which is situated at the bottom of the central business district. This is the gateway you the The Rocks, Taronga Zoo, Darling Harbour and Bondi beach.

Another popular way of appreciating the Sydney Harbour is to take a walk along the Sydney Harbour Bridge and to go to the top of the Pylon Tower. The Sydney Tower also provides exceptional views of the harbour. The revolving restaurant at the top is open for lunch and dinner allowing visitors to relax and watch the city go by beneath them.

The scheme which makes no reference to historical or to classical architectural forms was designed to match the vast scale of the harbour the Opera House’s low edges contain enough visual appeal for human interest. As a public building, it conceals its usage in its lack of historical associations, and restores the concept of the ‘monument’ as being acceptable in social terms. The Sydney Opera House also embodies timeless popular metaphors. The building’s organic shape and lack of surface decoration have made it both timeless and ageless. Moreover, it demonstrates how buildings can add to environmental experience rather than detract from it - something of spiritual value independent of function.

The building and the setting look orchestrated, and the synergy between the setting and the building make it appear that the scheme actually involved flooding the harbour valley to set the building off to best advantage. Despite so much richness, the building has had virtually no influence on the shape and form of Australian buildings which followed. It remains something of an enigma which crowns the silent collapse of Western Classical architecture from being the one language for great public buildings. Joern Utzon’s historic resignation causes a furore and divided the Sydney architecture profession. There were rallies and marches to Sydney Town Hall led by architects such as Peter Killar and Harry Seidler; other architects resigned their profession and became teachers, chefs, film makers and artists in protest.

There are a number of tours that visitors can take of the Sydney Opera House. On the one-hour guided walking tour of the Sydney Opera House, visitors see what goes on behind the world's most recognizable sails. They will hear the controversial story of the building's construction, as dramatic as any opera plot and brought alive by the tour's new interactive audio-visual presentation.

The backstage tour allows visitors to gain "exclusive access" to areas of the Sydney Opera House normally reserved for staff and performers on a two-hour backstage tour of one of the world's "must-see" attractions. Sit in the orchestra pit, stand where legends have performed, go inside the stars' dressing rooms and hear about the real-life dramas that go on behind the curtain.

Tourists can get a close look at the huge hinges while you are in Sydney by visiting the South Eastern Pylon. It is a walking trip and recommended for the fit only. It is a longish walk to get to the base of the Pylon and then there are 200 steps to the top. The views and photo opportunities are fantastic if you can make it! The Sydney harbour Bridge has a similar place in Sydney history to the Statue of Liberty in New York as far as many migrants to Australia go. In sight of the bridge you knew you had made it.

Sydney Harbour Bridge is the world's largest but not longest steel arch bridge, and, in its beautiful harbour location, has become a renowned international symbol of Australia. Its total length including approach spans is 1149 metres and its arch span is 503 metres. The top of the arch is 134 metres above sea level and the clearance for shipping under the deck is a spacious 49 metres. The total steelwork weighs 52,800 tonnes, including 39,000 tonnes in the arch. The 49 metre wide deck makes Sydney Harbour Bridge the widest Longspan Bridge in the world.

On your exhilarating Bridge Climb adventure, you will make your way over 1500 metres of steel as you venture across catwalks, steep ladders and arches on your way to the summit. You'll stop there to rest and take in the most spectacular 360 degree view of Sydney harbour and city. 

Despite early controversies on what the gallery building should look like and several plans submitted and discarded it is amazing that the building even exists. The Art Gallery building has proved quite eminently suited for its purposes, with room for expansion and additions. At present, the Art Gallery of New South Wales has a collection of some 29,000 pieces of artworks, divided into various "curatorial areas" according to the curators who look after them.

For visitors to Australia wishing to know more of the people's art and culture, the two main areas of interest would be the Australian collection and the Yiribana Gallery. The Australian collection is described as reflecting the evolving traditions of the past 200 years of European settlement in Australia and features Australian works from the late 19th century up to the whole of the 20th.

These are represented through paintings, sculptures and works on paper, and include noted Australian painters of the time, such as post-impressionist Grace Cossington Smith, and Sidney Nolan and Russell Drysdale, who both painted the Australian Outback but in widely differing styles.

The gallery's other curatorial areas are the Asian, European, contemporary, photography, and prints, drawings and watercolours collections. The artworks on display are so huge in number that anyone wishing to savour the diversity and breadth of the art collections may need to visit the gallery on more than one occasion.

Only a 30 minute drive from the centre of Sydney down Oxford Street (it changes to Enfield Drive and then Bondi Road) brings you to the south entrance of Bondi Beach. Bus 380 from Circular Quay will get you there in about 40 minutes or the train to Bondi Junction, then buses 381 or 382 will drop you off right on the beach as well. The bus from Bondi Junction to the beach takes about 15 minutes.

In the summer season Bondi is a thriving cosmopolitan centre for sun, surf and fun. Tourist and locals mix on the street and beach when the sun shines to show off their bronzed bodies. The beach is part of a large moon shaped bay of white sands and breaking surf. It is fringed by parks and apartments that overlook the blue waters. Spanning the length of the beach, and across busy Campbell Parade, is a string of eateries, shops, hotels and tourist outlets for the souvenir hunter which bustle with activity most of the time. Set immediately behind the shops are apartments and accommodation for both the short or long term visitor.
