Must See Sights and Landmarks in Sydney Area

"No trip to Sydney is complete without a visit to Sydney's highest point. Known as ‘Centrepoint,’ by the locals, from the Observation Deck, you can get 360-degree views of stellar Sydney, from 250 metres above the street level. These shots will shine on your socials; as the last place to catch dusk, you're guaranteed an Insta-worthy sunset."

"If you’re like me and love getting a birds-eye view of places, then the Sydney Tower is a must. It’s Sydney’s tallest building and the 360-degree views from the observation deck are pretty epic. Head up for sunset and watch the city switch over to night."

"Sydney Tower is the tallest structure in Sydney and the second tallest tower in the southern hemisphere. In 2009 it underwent significant renovations including connecting it with the shopping centre below."

"The park contains St Mary’s cathedral plus numerous monuments and statues, and the central pathway through the park is an impressive fig-lined road. Hit the beaches – Sydney is famous for its beaches, which are great free things to do in Sydney. From the Northern Beaches to the Eastern Suburbs you have many great beaches to explore. Our favourites: Bronte and Coogee in the eastern suburbs – and you must visit famous Bondi Beach at least once."

"Another slice of history in the centre of Sydney, this cathedral is a stunning place to take a wander and see some impressive gothic revival architecture."

"Walk around Circular Quay – The best place to start your visit is in Circular Quay, the main transport hub of Sydney Harbour and where two of Australia’s most famous landmarks reside; Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. Consider taking a 1 hour tour of the Opera House. Otherwise, just wander around and take your “I was here” photo."

"The multi-cultural city has a vibrant and lively flair, and the best places to get a sense of that are Darling Harbour, the Rocks district and Circular Quay. Head to Sydney Tower for a bird’s eye view of the city; you can even walk 250m (820 feet) above the ground on the Observation Deck. Book your tickets in advance for fast-track entry."

"Take in the world famous views from Circular Quay You can't leave Sydney without seeing the best views of the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge."

"CBD pasta & sandwich shop Fabbrica, still relatively fresh-faced from the team behind Dear Sainte Eloise (and Ragazzi, and Love, Tilly Devine), isn’t exactly doing anything new for this round of Sydney’s COVID-19 lockdown. They’re just doing what they’ve always done, it’s just been getting more popular since Glady’s put the (very gradual and hesitant) kibosh on leaving home for non-essentials. That is, Fabbrica’s primo take-home pasta packets, which come doubled with sauce and some recipe suggestions so you can elevate your pasta game much, much higher than those San Remo specials."

"Get fresh handmade pasta by the gram and sauces delivered to your door from the boundary-pushing Italian shop, Fabbrica. You can get pasta packs of Cacio e Pepe and wagyu and red wine rigatoni, or fresh sourdough, and a range of cheeses. It’s all delivered through UberEats."

"If you’re after sweet or savoury treats that are 100% free of gluten then you’ve come to the right place!. Imperial is truly Australia's largest gluten-free bakery - with warm banana bread, muffins, cookies, cakes and donuts to boot!. All the breads are made daily and owner Joseph Maroun makes sure that they contain absolutely zero preservatives."

"A serene spot in Lavender Bay, the garden was created in 1992 by Wendy Whiteley, wife and muse to artist Brett Whiteley, following her by then ex-husband’s death. We love Wendy’s Secret garden. It’s a really special space for kids to follow the weaving pathways through lush foliage and discover little secrets hidden in nooks and crannies."

"Built over an abandoned train yard, this hidden gem is full of winding paths and offers gorgeous views of Sydney Harbour."

"A brilliant example of Gothic Revival, next to the Royal Botanical Garden, Government House has been home to the Governors of New South Wales since the 1840s. Much of the premises remains open to the public, and you can join one of the free tours to learn more about the building and its residents. Within the gates of the Royal Botanic Gardens, you can visit Government House’s own garden every day of the week between 10am and 4pm unless hosting official functions."

"Like Cockatoo Island, Parramatta Park is also included on the UNESCO 11 convict site list. Old Government House is also the oldest surviving public building in Australia and was the country residence of the first ten Governors of New South Wales. Head here for a public tour of the building."

"Government House is a popular city centre attraction that is alongside the iconic Royal Botanic Gardens, with its strategic location providing visitors sweeping views of Sydney Harbour in the distance."
