Sights - Sydney - New South Wales Sydney has plenty of sights. Of course you’ll have to visit the famous Sydney Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. The museums and the art galleries will keep you occupied for a few days as well. When you’re tired, relax in one of the many parks and don’t forget the Centennial Park, the largest one in Sydney.
The Harbours are interesting areas. As you might know, Sydney borders on many sides on water so it’s worth checking out the different aspects of the several harbours, with their own fishing markets, theme parks and water-worlds. Nearby the Sydney Harbour Bridge, visit the Rock area where the first settlement in Australia took place and that still offers a wonderful insight into the way things were a long time ago.

The hardest part is a climb up 100 steps of an inclined ladder. If you have a fear of heights, stay away. Otherwise, get ready for a great trip. The bridge is one if not the only one you can climb and really worth the 3 hours required.
On a clear day or night you can see the Blue Mountains 80kms away, all around Sydney from both sides of the climb plus a great more..
