    An absolute must see, and if you can get performance tickets - an absolute must hear too. Even if it is the last row back in the far end corner of the concert hall, it’s totally worth it - the performances are top class and the acoustics is superb.

    Busy area with a lot of tourists around. It's one of the must visit places in Sydney. Advised to visit during early hours to avoid the crowd and get better pictures. The views are beautiful and worth the hype. 5 stars from me. Highly recommended.

    The bridge walk is a must-do experience. The views are amazing. It is well organized and safety is a priority. Our guide, Tara, was knowledgeable and personable.

    Free entry, right near the opera house at circular quay. Accessible from Bondi Beach via the 333 bus. Great way to spend the day. Excellent coffee shop near the rose garden. Close to the Museum of Sydney (also free entry).

    I've been coming to Manly for45 years and it keeps getting better. It has a local vibe but also is embracing to the tourist. Walks on beach or promenade are great and there are nice shops on the Corso and South Steyne Rd. Better not to bring your car.

    Such beautiful scenery around every corner. We only did half of the walk starting in Bondi but it was lovely the entire way. Lots of stairs but also opportunities to rest.

    The waterfront promenade, adorned with vibrant eateries, beckoned us to indulge in a gastronomic adventure. Families strolled by, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Every corner was photogenic, inviting us to capture memories. Truly, Darling Harbour is a delightful blend of flavors and charm.

    This building is a treasure trove of boutique shops, decadent eateries and Victoria’s Basement. The building itself is iconic, a must see if visiting Sydney CBD

    It’s certainly a lovely zoo. Perfectly placed on the amazing harbour but as far as user friendly- not so much. The ferry trip across from Circular Quay is easy but then after a nasty bus shuttle up the steep hill (never consider walking) to the entrance it is pretty cramped and maize like to get around. The animals habitats are well marked but I still am not convinced that their map was user friendly and once inside - it is hard to navigate a path back down to the outward ferry. Look, I am whinging but it should be easier to navigate with clearer signage.

    This is a fantastic walk for anyone who wants to see the top attractions but also have a lovely walk. Lots of toilets/cafes/food kiosks on the way. And plenty of benches to rest on.
