The whole harbor area is great ...opera house, botanic gardens, street performers around the Circular Quay, and The Rocks just west of there. Also nearby is the Chinese Garden of Friendship, which I really enjoyed. If you can get there, a trip to the suburbs for the Featherdale Wildlife Park is worth it ...a great way to see/touch/hold koalas, kangaroos, and wallabees. Bondi Beach, about 5-6 miles east (and along the east coast) is fun to visit. They have a fantastic coastline walk that stretches south from Bondi for several miles. It passes other beaches and follows the cliffs along the ocean. You could also take a ferry over to Manly Beach. Both beaches are easy on the eyes, and the ferry trip is a sneaky good way to see the harbor from on the water. For night life, the King Cross area east of 'downtown' can be pretty crazy at night. There are a few hostels in that area, and so it's a young partying crowd.
Thanks. I heard Featherdale is awesome. We definitely will be checking it out. King Cross sounds interesting as well.
Yea i think the leg from sfo to syd is 15 hours. Luckily im on a Business First ticket so they have the lie flats.
You probably already factored this in, but It'll be winter while you're there. Not sure, but I think a light jacket will do the trick. Also, if you like coffee, it's really good there.
Yea im aware. So i guess i will be bringing a light jacket. I have heard the coffee is good. My GF is from there and constantly complains about the coffee here. I will have to try it.
For me not being a fan of heights whatsoever, it was fairly intense, but exhilarating at the same time. I admit my knees knocked a couple times. Climbing the ladders from below to get to crossing the arch is the hardest part. Climbing the arch is no problem, a slight incline of "steps". They give you a training session before you head out, and the tour guides are fantastic people, really want you to enjoy it, give plenty of info about the bridge and Sydney and they have fun too. (You wear headphones to communicate) Really an incredible experience.
