Top-rated Attractions To Inspire Your Next Trip To Sydney

When most people think of Australia, the first place that comes to their mind is Sydney. This is the oldest city in the nation and its largest, known for its cruise-studded harbour, vast stretches of beaches, an intricate dining scene and proper year-round climate. It’s expensive, buzzing and so clean that it will suck you in almost every time! Even though it's a sprawling metropolis, if you don't know where you're going you will end up in the mainstream places and miss out on some of the city’s iconic attractions which makes the city a diverse and complex tourist destination! So here are a few unmissable attractions of Sydney for your next visit.

Witness The City Skyline from a Cruise

Cruising on the harbours is an activity you wouldn't want to miss especially with the stunning views and food it offers. If you're out looking for the perfect dine-out option, it doesn't get better than a dinner cruise in Sydney Harbour, which lets you enjoy the illuminated icons of the harbour, the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, among others. Choose a premium glass boat as your vessel and you get yourself an excellent waterfront dining experience with a freshly prepared signature menu and a 360° view of the harbour attractions! This luxury glass boat also houses a fully licensed bar so that you can purchase your favourite drinks you take in the breathtaking views of the city skyline. And if you prefer to go out while the sun is still shining, you can opt for a lunch cruise which is also a top-class dine-with-a-view experience! If you visit during New Year’s Eve you can even marvel at the world-famous firework show onboard these magnificent cruises.

Visit Carriageworks

Serving as an exhibition space, performance centre, a space for numerous creative art companies and a weekly market, Carriageworks is a hotspot for residents! This multi-arts centre, located in the former Eveleigh Rail Yards, is a massive, cavernous and incredible place to spend some leisure  time. It hosts all kinds of theatre, dance and art in this space, from cultural festivals to experimental art portrayals. Vivid Sydney 2022 is planning something big in the form of music concerts that is expected to be held here. Even if you're not an art lover, you'd want to visit this space just for the sake of the site alone– the bathrooms here are awesome and they’re worth a trip on their own. Jokes apart, you can basically show up here after checking what all events are currently being held , regardless of whether you know them beforehand. The theatre loves to shock people so be prepared to witness something special and quirky!
