Sydney Holidays

Sydney Holidays

Sydney holidays will see you going ‘down under’ in Australia’s most populous and culturally thriving city which welcomes almost 3 million international tourists annually. The state capital of New South Wales is situated on the south-east coast of the Tasman Sea and is built on the hills which surround the natural harbour of Port Jackson (more commonly known as Sydney Harbour) meaning visitors are always in close proximity to water, sandy beaches and stunning national parks.  Read more...

Sydney New South Wales is renowned for its many gloriously white, sandy beaches (most notably; Bondi Beach, Manly Beach and Coogee) and nearly the whole year around locals and visitors alike pitch up on them to soak up some rays and enjoy the Paradise-akin scenery. The city’s national parks meanwhile make great places to sit in the sun with loved ones and a picnic, kick a ball around and/or explore on foot or bike. Of Sydney’s parks, the most famous are Hyde Park and the Royal Botanical Gardens (though it should be noted that cycling and ball games are prohibited in the latter).

Visitors to Sydney Harbour National Park will be greeted with the spectacular view of native bushland – a must-see for any lovers of nature and/or Australia’s fauna and flora.

The visual delights of Sydney are further heightened by the city’s temperate climate which provides ‘Sydneysiders’ (the name given to inhabitants of Sydney) warm summers and mild winters. Holidays to Sydney are ideal for anyone from the Northern Hemisphere looking to escape their dreary December-February winters; January is Sydney’s warmest month (temperatures range from 18.6-25.8 degrees centigrade) and July is the coldest (but rarely ever colder than 5 degrees C).

Unsurprisingly, Sydney is also a popular destination for those with a penchant for water sports and even amateurs can experience the thrill of snorkelling, surfing, scuba diving, rafting and more whilst away on their Australian vacation.

Those who prefer to spend their holidays shopping, learning about an country’s rich history, fine dining or losing their inhibitions to the night life on offer are also well catered for, thanks to attractions such as the Darling Harbour retail precinct, the Australian Museum and Museum of Sydney, in addition to thousands of eateries and venues.
