What you can't miss in: Sydney

Circular Quay is the perfect starting point to visit Sydney and all the places around it. The harbor that hosts Circular Quay is a busy ferry port, with boats coming and going all around Sydney Harbour. It is also where many tourist attractions are located, such as the Sydney Opera House, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Royal Botanic Gardens.

One of the most recognizable buildings on planet Earth, seeing the Sydney Opera House for the first time is like meeting a famous celebrity, except you are guaranteed not to be disappointed. Its location, overlooking the waters of the harbor and with the massive Harbour Bridge in sight, offer a breathtaking view. I remember being impressed by the white ceramic tiles that cover the structure and anyone who is interested in architecture can appreciate the structure. And it is an active performance center, so those who are interested can enjoy a show inside.

The Botanic Gardens are a great place to enjoy Sydney. The view, of the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge is incomparable and the plants, flowers and trees, along with local fauna, make you forget that you are in a large city. You can also enjoy a view of the iconic Sydney skyline from the Gardens.

Not far from the Botanic Gardens, you will find Hyde Park. A beautiful city park, between the tall skyscrapers of the Sydney central business district (CBD), it is also right next to the Cathedral of Sydney.

If you want to see Sydney and its harbor from above, the tallest point to do so is the Sydney Tower. It will give you a different perspective

Another iconic structure, the Harbour Bridge is an impressive arch bridge that connects the city center to the northern area. It is great to see from Circular Quay or the Opera House but for those who do not fear heights, it is also possible to take a tour and climb to the top.
