Sydney is Australia’s largest city, and it is jam-packed full of entertaining things to do, beautiful weather, and so many picturesque locations to explore. You could spend weeks adventuring in Sydney and the unbelievable destinations that surround it, however, taking day trips is always the easiest way to see all the attractions of Sydney. Be sure not to miss out on the Harbour Bridge, The Opera House, Taronga Zoo, and Bondi Beach, just to name a few!
Not only are there so many entertaining activities to do in Sydney itself, but there are also so many beautiful places to check out that are located outside of Sydney. Take a day trip to The Blue Mountains and admire the spectacular views, sip on some of Australia’s best wines in The Hunter Valley, chase water falls in Byron Bay, or check out Australia’s whitest sand in Jervis Bay.
