The basics

For many visitors, their first encounter with Sydney’s CBD comes when they cross the city's iconic bridge from the north. There are plenty of ways to discover CBD. Join a hop-on hop-off bus tour; shop til' you drop in malls or arcades; scale the Harbour Bridge or catch a show at the Opera House; cruise or even kayak around the harbour; explore the cobbled lanes and heritage buildings of the Rocks, where European colonists first landed in 1788; take a food or nightlife tour of the area’s bustling bar and restaurant scene; or discover sights such as the Royal Botanic Garden and the SEA LIFE® Aquarium.

Super knowledgeable a definite must do we learned so much about New Orleans that isn’t Bourbon street, so much culture and history would definitely do again!
