The city, famous for its harbor, sprawls across Port Jackson on the eastern coast of Australia. When taking in its surrounding stretches of incredible beaches and ocean views, you’ll find avid surfers in waters known for their great surfing conditions and lots of “Sydneysiders” making a trip to the beach a regular social occasion. Other side trips can be taken to see the cliffs of the Blue Mountains or to go dolphin and whale watching around Port Stephens.

Around the city you will experience a lively atmosphere filled with street festivals, international cuisine and popular city highlights, such as the Sydney Opera House, one of the most recognized buildings in the world. Spend your spare time exploring the city, visiting exotic zoos, hand-feeding kangaroos and attending local street fairs. After the sun goes down, you can spend your evening sampling some of the cuisine of the many immigrant populations who have chosen to make Sydney their second home, or dance the night away in a chic night club.
