planet, the Sydney Opera House is the citys top tourist
attraction. Besides being a magnificent piece of modern
architecture, the Opera House entertains nearly 2 million
people each year through plays, ballets, musicals, symphonies,
dance, concerts and of course operas. Within its peculiar
shell you will discover a whole world of art and passion.
Sydney Harbour
Sydney Harbour (real name Port Jackson) is a wonder to behold
with is numerous sandstone headlands, dramatic cliffs, wonderful
bays and beaches and rugged islands. Stretching inland for 12
miles towards the Parramatta River it is fringed by Sydney harbour
Park a favourite with walkers. The main attraction though is
the water itself, which offers superb sailing and swimming.
Shopping at the Queen Victoria Building
From market stalls to concert halls, the massive Victorian era
building known to locals as the QVB has had quite the history.
Described by Pierre Cardin as the most beautiful shopping center
in the world, today, the Queen Victoria Building is a shopper’s
paradise. Although the exterior of this massive building is
spectacular, feast your eyes one what lies beneath. With more
than 200 exclusive shops and a stunning stain-glassed, domed
ceiling shopping at the QVB is sure to be more than a bank-account
draining experience.
Lunch at Doyles, Watson’s Bay
Zip across Sydney Harbour in a water taxi to devour the best
fish and chips outside the UK. Doyles Seafood Restaurant has
become a landmark in its own right. With a beachfront location
and a spectacular view of Sydney Harbour, Doyles is as much
a viewpoint as a top eatery. So for the freshest of seafood
coupled with a breathtaking backdrop head to Watson’s
Bay, Sydney’s most charming inlet.
Circular Quay
Circular Quay, the hub of the harbour and the starting point
to some of Sydney’s top attractions is located in the
picturesque Sydney Cove. With pockets of cafes, shops and bars,
Circular Quay may very well be your destination or just a stop-off
point before hopping on one of the frequent ferries going across
to other popular harbours. On foot? A walkway to the Botanical
Gardens, the Sydney Opera House and the oldest and arguably
most stunning areas of the city, The Rocks is also on offer
from Circular Quay.
