Enjoy a tour that takes you through the streets of Sydney and inside its most iconic landmark. Explore a city where the past and the present live side by side, from the old streets of The Rocks to the gleaming mega-yachts of Watson's Bay. Of course, no tour of Sydney is complete without a visit to the Opera House, Australia's most recognized landmark. Rest assured, you'll find the interior just as magnificent as the exterior.

Love to shop? Sydney shopping has it all, from luxe labels and home-grown fashion to buzzy markets and outlet tours.

In the city centre, Pitt Street Mall is Sydney's fashion hub encompassing several retail centres across two city blocks. Westfield Sydney sets the pace for sensational shopping with four floors of fashion favourites. Check out Australia's two largest department stores, Myer and David Jones, which stock many top brands and offer personal shopper and stylist services.

Stroll through the historic Queen Victoria Building and Strand Arcade, as popular for their beautifully restored interiors as they are for the fashion boutiques they house featuring local and international brands. The Galeries Victoria on George Street is home to urban brands while World Square spans three levels of an entire city block.

See the best of Sydney on a relaxing, scenic tour drive around the city. Visit The Rocks, the Darling Harbor Complex, Sydney's Chinatown, and the stately Queen Victoria Building. Then, enjoy a guided tour of the iconic Sydney Opera House. And no trip to Sydney would be complete without a visit to the internationally recognized Bondi Beach.

Hyde park honors the original Hyde Park in London, England. Containing over 580 trees, it is located in the eastern section of the inner city district of Sydney. It is beautiful. I enjoyed all the trees and flowers in this great park.
