Sydney, like the capital of Australia, is able to win the hearts of travelers, because this city is a flourishing metropolis with parks and green oases (you should pay attention to the Royal Botanic Gardens, where you can walk on the grass and lie down on the lawn). In addition, numerous beaches (surfing and harbor ferry tours) and bars can be found in and around Sydney.
Sydney Opera House
The building of the Musical Theater (its height is more than 180 m) - the symbol of Sydney, is unlike any other building in the world - just what is its roof (it consists of more than 1 million tiles), formed by sail-shaped shells. It is worth noting that there are several halls inside: the Concert Hall (various concerts are organized, in particular, performances of world stars; a massive organ is installed right there), the hall where ballet and opera performances are staged, the Drama Hall (used for musical and drama performances), and also restaurants.
Tourists will be interested in the morning excursion, during which they will be offered to go behind the scenes and feel the theatrical atmosphere. As for those wishing to visit the opera, this will turn out to be quite problematic, since it is advisable to purchase tickets in advance, and the prices for them cannot boast of being democratic.
Harbor Bridge
For everyone over 10 years old, excursions are regularly arranged (approximate cost - $ 200, and travel across the bridge by private car - $ 3) to the top of the bridge (it rises more than 130 m above sea level), from where a breathtaking panorama of Sydney opens … It is recommended to climb here (a side arch is used for this purpose) in shoes with rubber soles. In addition, on site the instructor gives the excursionists a suit with insurance.
It is worth noting that the Harbor Bridge is inextricably linked with the New Year's celebrations, accompanied by pyrotechnic shows (at 21:00 guests and residents of Sydney are pampered with “family” fireworks, which are of particular interest for families with small children, and at midnight - the main one).
Sydney TV Tower
The TV tower, with a height of more than 300 m, is equipped with shops, a 4D cinema, restaurants, two observation platforms (it is supposed to move through one of 3 high-speed elevators) - at 250 and 268 meters (it is an open area with a transparent floor). These two sites allow you to admire not only the beauty of Sydney, but also the suburbs and neighboring cities.
