Sydney

Beautiful against the backdrop of the Sydney Harbour, the World Heritage-listed Sydney Opera House is a thriving hub of art, culture, and history. As "one of the indisputable masterpieces of human creativity, not only in the 20th Century but in the history of humankind," according to a World Heritage report, it attracts millions of visitors from all over the world each year. Experience all the Sydney Opera House has to offer by taking a guided tour, watching a show, and enjoying a cocktail at Opera Bar at sunset or delicious food in the acclaimed Bennelong Restaurant.

Experience an outback animal adventure right in the centre of the city. Walk through different Australian habitats and encounter some of the most loved, feared and unique native animals. Meet the huge crocodile called Rex, say hello to kangaroos, wallabies and emus, encounter cuddly koalas, beautiful butterflies and more! WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo features interactive displays, and daily keeper talks. You can even fly above Rex on the WILD Flight zip-line.

Established in 1871, the Art Gallery of NSW showcases fine Australian and international modern and contemporary works in expansive, light-filled spaces. The Grand Courts are home to a collection of colonial Australian works and European old masters, while dedicated galleries celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artwork and Asian collections. Regular guided tours are offered in Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese and Korean.

The MCA is on the edge of Sydney Harbour and is Australia's leading museum dedicated to contemporary art from across Australia and around the world. In the historic Rocks, the MCA has a steady stream of exhibitions and events are hosted throughout the year. From established artists to new work by emerging artists in painting, sculpture, video, installation and more, there's something to inspire everyone at the MCA. And there are harbour vistas from the rooftop cafe.
