Built in the 1970′s this shopping complex and adjacent tower were officially thoroughly open to the public in 1981. Designed as one of the most secure structures across the world this building was built to withstand extreme wind and earthquakes.

The Golden Turret features an observation deck, two entire levels of restaurants and a coffee house and can hold over 900 individuals at one time. The Sydney Tower is the first to witness dawn and the final place in Sydney to experience the dusk each night. Watching these times of day is particularly rewarding atop this remarkable structure with a lot of observation decks for remarkable views of the entire city.

There’s a charge for admission to the Main Observation Deck which incorporates the Oz Trek with an extra cost if you intend to try out the Skywalk. The observation deck presents panoramic views of Sydney with binoculars to hone in on your favourite area attractions. An amazing way to feel on top of the world you will love the view from atop the Sydney Tower. Combined with your admission fee is the Oz Trek ride which enables you to sit in the motion theater and feel like you are flying above all of Australia. This ride is not intensive and is designed for any individual, ages 3 and up.

For an added cost you can take the 60 minute skywalk on the roof of this unbelievable tower and reach a height that is equal to that of the Eiffel Tower. At this fantastic height you will be able to view everything that Sydney has to offer and much more. You will be dressed in a sky suit and will be secured to the building to ensure your protection. To delight in a Sydney Tower Skywalk you have to be at least ten years of age or older.

From theatre halls to concert halls, there is always something on worth turning up for. Dine at The Guillaume at Bennelong restaurant underneath the canopy of the smaller sails and literally feel like you are on the other side of the world.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb

Iconic and majestic, the Sydney Harbour Bridge is synonymous with the Sydney Harbour skyline. Stretching across the water from the south shore to the north, it’s worth hiring a car just to drive across the impressive construction. Designed by a company from the north of England, the original design was based on Hell Gate’s Bridge in New York. Best seen from the top, visitors can embark on the popular Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb and scale the steel steps to the top. Book ahead though as it’s very busy.

There are very few zoos in the world with views as spectacular as those from Sydney’s Taronga Zoo. Stretching out across the harbour from Mosman in the city’s north shore, views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge make for a perfect photo opportunity. Arrive by boat from Circular Quay and enter the zoo aboard the fun-to-ride gondola lift. The zoo itself is a bursting with Australian wildlife from the Tasmanian devil to the Platypus. For a truly unique experience, camp out at the zoo in of their luxurious safari tents and watch the sun rise over the city skyline.

Evenings are buzzing with bars overflowing onto the promenade and clubs are open late into the night.

Botanical Gardens

The metropolitan city of Sydney is a very popular place for tourists, with many varied attractions. To start, Featherdale is a privately owned wild life park that received the gold tourism award for 2009. It is an ideal day out for all the family with more than 2000 animals, such as the cuddly Koala plus Wombats and Reptiles to see and don’t forget the local Kangaroos. The world heritage sandstone Blue Mountains just bordering Sydney are a fabulous sight, where natural forests of eucalyptus densely grow and you can explore the nature trails and fast flowing Wentworth waterfalls. The rock formation known as the Three Sisters can be seen from most areas of the mountain. There are many short cruise excursions around the local harbour; it can be a little choppy on the water, but well worth it for the views. Sydney opera house is an enormous building for the performing arts, you can take guided tours around the building or relax watching one of the many famous shows that are performed daily. One of the most popular tours in the region is one to partake in whale watching; they sail out from Sydney harbour daily from mid May where tourists can view the fabulous sight of a humpback whale. There is always something to do in Sydney that will suit most tourists.

There is so much shopping to be done in Sydney, it’s a shoppers heaven! You won’t know where to start or when to stop with large department stores and massive shopping complexes all within walking distance of each other. There are speciality stores and designer boutiques selling everything you could possibly think of. You could spend a week visiting the stores in centre point and still not have seen them all. Not only do you have all the indoor stores though, there are also outdoor markets held weekly for a different experience.

Eating

Fish and chips are served widely in Australia. It is one of their favourite dishes alongside a variety of fresh sea food dishes. If you like something a little different, or even wacky, then try a ‘bush tucker’ which is the aborigine traditional food consisting of nutritious bugs, grubs and ants; not for the faint hearted. Sydney is very diverse in its cuisine and regional foods like Greek, Asian and Mediterranean can be found easily. Sydney has some top notch restaurants, especially around the harbour and prices are quite reasonable.

Nightlife

Sydney Opera House has performances nightly from comedy to theatre and more, there are also regular shows that are aimed at the family, so you will surely find a show to suit your requirements. If you’re looking for pubs, clubs and nightclubs then Sydney is the place to be a party animal too. If you are looking for something lighter then this main city has something to suit everyone’s taste, from loud and rowdy clubs to quiet and romantic evening cruises around the harbour.

Beaches

Sun, sea and surf is the Australian way. If you’re not swimming or topping up your tan on the white sand beaches, then surfing it must be. There are life guards along the beaches to stay safe and there are plenty of other water sports available if you want to do more than swim. Surfing really is the sport of the country though, so have a go.

Happy Holidays.
