Located on the south-east coast of Australia, Sydney is the largest and most populated city in Australia. The city itself is built on the hills surrounding Sydney's picturesque harbour, while the greater region features numerous bays, rivers, inlets and beaches including the famous Bondi Beach.
Sydney cruises dock at the Overseas Passenger Terminal Circular Quay and Wharf 8 Darling Harbour. Both are located in downtown Sydney and are within walking distance of the main shopping and tourist districts.
Sights to See
From the abstract Opera House to the striking Harbour Bridge, Sydney Harbour alone is full of iconic sights that will amaze and impress. Within the city you can enjoy a picnic in Hyde Park, shop up a storm in the CBD or view the skyline from above at the revolving Sydney Tower. Want to see it all? Take a tour of Sydney…
What's for Lunch
You won't have to venture far from the harbour to enjoy an award winning meal. Leading restaurants are dotted all along Circular Quay and their beautiful harbour views are matched by mouth watering menus. For something a little more relaxed head over to the historic area of The Rocks where quaint restaurants and traditional pubs spill out onto cobble stone lane ways.
