Sydney is a harbor city. The largest and oldest city in Australia with a reputation as one of the most beautiful and comfortable cities in the world.

 

Sydney is filled with history, nature, culture, art, fashion, cuisine, design. And here you can find sandy beaches by the ocean, where surfers cut through the waves. Sydney is completely different and accepts people of all nations and cultures. You need to be here at least once to find out what “diversity” really is.

Kingsford Smith International Airport Sydney, SYD

It is the busiest airport in Australia. And one of the oldest continuously functioning airports in the world. It opened in 1933 and has never taken a day off.

 

However, it cannot be said that tourists are ready to forgive any problems for the Sydney Airport out of respect for its age. Because he still has where to strive to become better. One of the main problems: queues. There are more passengers than the airport can serve. Moreover, the queue will be not only at the migration control, but also in anticipation of a taxi.

 

Also, unexpectedly for yourself, you may encounter rudeness of the staff. In some places, the airport lacks managerial supervision. Some tourists generally characterize this transport hub as "the airport of the third world country".

How to get from the airport to the city center?

The airport is only 8 km away from the city. The tourist has two main options to get to the center: train and taxi.

 

A train is a quick and comfortable option. The station is actually at the airport. Trains depart every 5-10 minutes. Tickets cost $ 12.5. And after 13 minutes you will be ready to walk around the main attractions (although not really, because you still need to check-in at the hotel).

At the exit of the terminal you will find parking with a taxi. Drivers do not get out of the car, and you need to arrange a trip with a specially trained administrator. The trip will take about 20 minutes at a cost of $ 30. It is important to understand that a large flow of passengers can delay waiting for a taxi for a considerable time.

Sydney Sightseeings

If you have not thought of Sydney as a must for visiting, then it's time to think. Because it is really one of the most favorite cities in the world among tourists. And there is nothing to be surprised at. An active capital with world-class beaches and a whole range of attractions will always find something to surprise and entertain. Here are just a few of the must-have places for the traveler.

Sydney Opera House

You just can't pass this place by, and you definitely shouldn't. Sydney Opera House is absolutely the most famous landmark. At least once, everyone saw a photograph of this building. A beautiful pearl white building is located in Sydney Harbor on the outskirts of the city. Explore the theater from the outside, but do not hesitate to look inside, because this part of the masterpiece building on postcards is not usually shown.

Harbor Bridge

Harbor Bridge is another Sydney Instagram attraction. This bridge connects the city with the lower North coast. It is especially good in the evening, when the lights are on and Sydney itself is buried in the lights. For the best experience, take a walk along the bridge and enjoy panoramic views of the entire harbor.

Manly Wharf District

This is one of Sydney's busiest oceanfront areas. You can get here from the center by ferry, and this is one of the most picturesque trips that can be made in the city. And then relax in Manly. This suburb even has its own slogan: "Seven miles from Sydney and a thousand miles from cares." The slogan is absolutely justified, because all you want to do here is sip a cocktail in one of the many bars overlooking the sea horizon with the sound of gulls.

The Rocks

This area has great historical importance to Sydney. Europeans first go heret in the 18th century. This area became the starting point from which the huge Australian capital grew. Historic buildings that are carefully guarded by local authorities are still preserved. And here are some of the best restaurants in the city, galleries of modern art and numerous traditional markets.

Sydney Tower

If you decide to take a ferry ride, pay attention to the city landscape. You will definitely see this outstanding tower among other buildings. This needle-shaped building is Sydney's tallest free-standing structure, with a height of 309 meters. You can go up here. At the top of the tower is the 360 Bar and Dining restaurant, which slowly rotates around its axis.

Royal Botanic Garden

Right behind the famous Opera House is the Royal Botanic Garden, which not every tourist gets to. And completely in vain. Because this huge garden, located right on the seashore, is the best place to relax from the bustle of the city and get aesthetic pleasure from the surrounding nature.

What to eat in

Sydney is about international food brought here by numerous immigrants. There are not so many unique tastes here. But you can easily go around the whole world just by walking through one of the street food markets. If you really want something unusual, try the local fauna which are crocodiles, emus or kangaroos. Most often, the meat of these exotic animals is used in burgers or simply grilled. In the end, once you can eat a kangaroo, no matter how strange it may sound.

 

One of the few typically Australian dishes is minced beef pie in dark sauce. This is exactly the food for which every Australian has his own recipe. The pie is often served with mashed peas, which is also a typical Australian flavor. I

 

n addition, Sydney is a great place to cook Asian food. Here you can try perhaps the best dim sums in the world. And seize all this with ice cream, which does not differ at all from the classic Italian gelato.
