Shopping Spree
Who doesn’t love going on a wild shopping spree in a city like Sydney where there are endless options?! Set aside a whole day for shopping through the epic malls all the way to the local or seasonal markets. Some markets only open during specific days; for instance, Rocks Market comes alive on the weekends and the well-known Glebe Market opens only on Saturdays.
The historic Queen Victoria Building has an endless number of vendors selling everything from fashion, jewellery, and eateries from international and local names. To add a more luxurious feel to the whole experience, head to Westfield at the bottom of the Sydney Tower Eye, where you will find almost everything you need for your retail therapy. Later, maybe you can head up the iconic Sydney Tower, to Bar83 and enjoy a cocktail and take in 360° views of the cityscapes!
Aboriginal Tours
Are you intrigued by how the original custodians of the land laid the foundations for what now thrives as Aboriginal art and culture in numerous parts of the city? Then head to the heart of The Rocks, Cadman Cottage for a 90-minute enlightening session with Dreamtime X. Dive deep into the heritage of the Aboriginals and their spiritual ties with the foreshores and waterways of the land. You will be welcomed with an Aboriginal greeting, learn about the local languages spoken and hear more about the Aboriginal dreamtime origin, history and culture. It is one of the best ways to get rooted in the culture of this country.
Enjoy a Bird's Eye View of Sydney
By the time you spend a couple of days in the city, you have probably experienced it on foot, by a vehicle or on the waters, and there’s no reason to leave out the skies. Experience the best of Sydney and its precincts from the ‘top’ vantage point in the city, the skies! Glide over the famous coastline on a 30-min scenic seaplane tour before a final circuit over the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. The tour usually culminates at a beautiful waterfront restaurant where you can feast on an array of seafood dishes and enjoy fizzy drinks to finish your perfect experience. You can also check out the HeliTours in and around the city to enjoy a broader view of Sydney including Bondi, Blue Mountains, Hunter Valley and everything in between.
