Destination Guide - Sydney
Sydney is one seriously shiny city – the sun illuminates the busy skyline while bronzed Aussies reflect the ubiquitous beach culture. See the harbour sights while lazing on a ferry or get physical and walk some of the historic suburbs such as Surry Hills and Paddington. If you like your history served with a side of shopping, check out the elegant Strand Arcade and QVB in the CBD – exploring the heritage architecture while weaving in and out of boutiques almost makes a spending spree culturally justifiable. If you’re feeling adventurous climb to the top of the Harbour Bridge and see Sydney in all of its radiance from above.
