Sydney is one of the world's most popular destinations and even aside
from the 'Big Two' (Sydney Opera House & Sydney Harbour Bridge)
there is plenty to do.
Fox Studios is Australia's film epicentre and you can happily while away several hours on a tour.
The Aquarium, Opera House and enormous clean shopping malls with their eclectic food halls are also appealing.
For the energetic, walking trips across the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge are now available and offer unsurpassed views of Sydney City and Sydney Harbour. It's not cheap, but it's a once in a lifetime experience!
The southern end of the Sydney Harbour Bridge has a museum where you can learn about the construction and history of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The museum is just a short walk from the famous Rocks area of Sydney. The Rocks contains many historic buildings, tourist attractions and boutique shopping. The Rocks is also where you can pick up unique bargain items at the weekend street markets.
Shopping in Sydney covers everything from luxury boutiques to the weekend markets. Sydney's oldest and most famous market is Paddy's Market in the Haymarket. It is open Thursday through to Sunday and sells just about anything you can think of!
