Australia
Sydney & New South Wales
Australia's iconic harbour city, beaches and the Blue Mountains
About Sydney & New South Wales
Sydney is Australia's gateway and its most photographed city — built around one of the world's most beautiful natural harbours. The instantly recognisable sails of the Opera House and the great steel arch of the Harbour Bridge frame a city that combines world-class culture with a relaxed beach lifestyle.
Beyond the city, New South Wales rewards every kind of traveller: the Blue Mountains' dramatic eucalyptus valleys are 90 minutes away, the Hunter Valley's vineyards are two hours north, and golden coastline stretches for hundreds of kilometres in every direction.
