Sydney Tours And Sightseeing Help

By Fraser Brown


Sydney tours are packed full with tourists from all over the world not just because it is Australia's biggest city and the capital of New South Wales. It also happens to be the site of the first English settlement in Australia. More importantly, Sydney has such a fine list of world famous attractions and things to do that it makes the city one of the top 10 tourist destinations in the world.

Consider the main items on the list - the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Opera House, the Rocks area and the Sydney Tower. Also not to be missed are family friendly attractions like Luna Park, the Royal Botanical Gardens and Hype Park. There are over forty gorgeous beaches in Sydney, including Bondi Beach. With 4.5m cultured and sophisticated Sydneysiders, the city has more than its fair share of urban attractions like museums, art galleries and theatres.

With such a wide range of choices, Sydney tours have to be planned very carefully. Tour companies offer the full range, from simple sightseeing to helicopter and cruise tours, not to mention a number of day trips. Visitors also have the choice of buying an attractions pass that gives access to a whole bunch of attractions.

Sydney Bridgeclimb: As mentioned above, there are all kinds of activities and famous attractions for tourists in Sydney. But none comes anywhere close to being as popular as Sydney BridgeClimb. It is an essential component of a trip to Sydney, and the experience would be incomplete without BridgeClimb.

Visitors get to choose from guided options including Express, Discovery and Bridge Climb. Express, as the name suggests, is the fast route. With Discovery, visitors get to explore the bridge in all its glory. Bridge Climb has people clambering up 134 metres above the bridge, and the view is magnificent. Note that Bridge Climb does not involve anything difficult, and it is open to people of all ages.

Day Trips & Themed tours: For those interested in exploring Sydney and its surroundings at leisure, popular day trips include visits to Post Stephens, Hunter Valley wine country and the Blue Mountains. Wildlife and nature enthusiasts might enjoy an excursion to Australia Walkabout Wildlife Park or the Royal National Park. For those with specific interests, there are guided Sydney tours which involve activities like biking, walking, shopping and dining.

Cruises & Air Tours: Watching the Harbour from land is nice enough, but the view form the other side is just as good. Sydney Harbour cruises offer sweeping City skyline views, not to mention Fort Denison, the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Flying tours over Sydney in a hot-air balloon or helicopter are also popular, since they offer a full bird's eye view of Sydney and the famed landmarks.

Sydney Attractions Pass: There are two simple ways to make it easy to plan and enjoy Sydney tours. One way is to choose from among the many tours available and visit Chinatown and King's Cross and all the major attractions mentioned above. Another option is to buy an attractions pass with admission to over 40 attractions, and then figure out the best itinerary that includes the maximum number of attractions.
