Why visit Sydney
The Opera House’s sails and the Harbour Bridge frame the world’s most photogenic harbour. Bondi’s surf beach, the coastal walk to Coogee and the ferries that criss-cross the harbour like buses make it an outdoor city. Day trips reach the Blue Mountains’ cliff trains, the Hunter Valley’s wineries and beaches that go on for a hundred kilometres.
Best time to visit Sydney
Weather decides when a city shines — and when it empties out. We pull 30-year climate averages for Sydney to show which months are warm, dry and worth booking.
