Sydney at a glanceSydney combines a spectacular natural harbour, lively neighbourhoods and ocean beaches reached by public transport.
Start at Circular Quay, where the Opera House and Harbour Bridge shape the view. The Royal Botanic Garden reveals constantly changing perspectives across the harbour.
The Rocks preserves lanes and warehouses from the early colonial city. Crossing the Harbour Bridge or taking a ferry reveals Sydney from its best viewpoint: the water.
Bondi is the best-known face of the coast; the Coogee walk links cliffs and ocean pools. The Manly ferry adds a memorable harbour crossing and a relaxed beach.
