Sydney Tours And Attractions Assistance Guide

Sydney being the NSW capital and the biggest Australian city, it's no big surprise that Sydney tours are always choc-a-bloc full of visitors from around the world. But Sydney's appeal goes a lot deeper than just size. For starters, it is where the English settlers built their first settlement. Plus, Sydney has an eye-popping range of famed attractions that make the city more appealing than most destinations.

This splendid list includes the Rocks area, Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge and Sydney Tower. For families, Sydney has unique attractions like the Royal Botanical Gardens, Hyde Park and Luna Park. Bondi Beach is but the most famous of over 40 beaches in and around Sydney. With 4.5m urban and sophisticated people, Sydney also is home to many museums, art galleries and many other urban things to do.

With such a wide range of choices, Sydney tours have to be planned very carefully. Tour companies offer the full range, from simple sightseeing to helicopter and cruise tours, not to mention a number of day trips. Visitors also have the choice of buying an attractions pass that gives access to a whole bunch of attractions.

Sydney Bridgeclimb: The Sydney Harbour Bridge stands tall above the rest of the city's attractions in more ways than one. That's because Sydney Bridgeclimb is the single most popular tourist activity in Sydney. Unless a visitor completes the Bridgeclimb, the Sydney experience is incomplete.

There are three options for a guided climb, including Bridge Climb, Express and Discovery. Discovery and Express are pretty much self-explanatory. The Bridge Climb is a unique experience, and the view from 134 metres high up above the bridge is breathtaking. Bridge Climb doesn't involve anything hard and people of all ages easily manage it.

Day Trips & Themed tours: For those interested in exploring Sydney and its surroundings at leisure, popular day trips include visits to Post Stephens, Hunter Valley wine country and the Blue Mountains. Wildlife and nature enthusiasts might enjoy an excursion to Australia Walkabout Wildlife Park or the Royal National Park. For those with specific interests, there are guided Sydney tours which involve activities like biking, walking, shopping and dining.

Cruises & Air Tours: Watching the Harbour from land is nice enough, but the view form the other side is just as good. Sydney Harbour cruises offer sweeping City skyline views, not to mention Fort Denison, the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Flying tours over Sydney in a hot-air balloon or helicopter are also popular, since they offer a full bird's eye view of Sydney and the famed landmarks.

Sydney Attractions Pass: Planning for Sydney tours can be made into a relatively painless process. First way to do it is to simply book a place on a tour bus and poke around King's Cross, Chinatown and all the above mentioned attractions. Another way is to buy an attractions pass that provides access to multiple attractions. All that needs to be done is to figure out an itinerary that includes 40+ attractions and the best way to cover as many as possible.
