8 Top Attractions In Sydney, Australia

Attractions in Sydney you'll want to see.

1. Sydney Habour Bridge Climb


Scared of heights? I promise this is worth the fear. Climb 134 meters above sea level while your leader entertains you with the history of the bridge you are currently on. Right in the heart of the Sydney Harbour you will get to experience a full view of your surroundings. Not to mention, the company takes the time to personalize a photo and video for you once you accomplish your climb!

2. Sydney Opera House



The 102 million dollar performing arts centre is widely known all over the world. The best view of the Opera House is from a ferry approaching Circular Quay (the second picture that was taken above). Schedule a tour and see the beautiful architecture of the famous Sydney Opera House!

3. Taronga Zoo



Take a 12-minute trip on the ferry from the city and arrive at the marvelous Taronga Zoo. Ride over the treetops on the sky safari and get a glimpse of what attractions you have ahead for the day. Kangaroos, koalas, and echidnas… oh my! Why not try an animal encounter with one?

4. Bondi Beach

One of Australia’s most famous beaches, this beach has tons to offer. Whether you’re coming for an event or just to people watch; there’s always something to do. The main street along the water is called ‘Campbell Parade’. Here you will find a variety of shops, bars, and restaurants. Don’t forget to stop by Bondi Icebergs where you can swim and eat. What are you waiting for? Hit the beach and catch some waves!

5. The Rocks


This historic site lies near Sydney’s Harbour Bridge; experience cobblestone streets, ghost tours, weekly farmers markets, and art galleries. Stop in for a beer at one of Sydney’s oldest pubs or have a wine tasting. Don’t forget to take a look around and take in your historic surroundings.

6. The Sydney Tower Eye

This viewing platform shows a panoramic view of Sydney. Choose the observation deck and use their interactive touchscreens that will give you an insight to the city’s famous landmarks. They also offer the Sydney tower skywalk (a full outside experience). You will walk on a glass floor 879 feet above the streets of Sydney.

7. Sea Life Aquarium

In the center of Darling Harbour, Sydney Sea Life Aquarium houses over 12,000 freshwater and marine animals. These include sharks, tropical fish, stingrays, dugongs, turtles, and penguins. Walk through 14 newly themed zones; the possibilities are endless. Come get lost in the sea with these amazing creatures!

7. The Sydney Explorer

All in all, this bus will show you it all. The open top, double decker is on a hop on- hop off bus route. The bus will take you to all the unique sites, landmarks, and wonderful places in Sydney. During your ride, enjoy the scenery with informative commentary. Your ticket allows you to get off where you would like and allows you back on to any explorer you see (buses are frequently at the stops around town).

Have fun, mate!

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
