About the Destination
Plan to spend a few extra days in Sydney and take in all that this fabulous city has to offer. You can take advantage of everything from spending a lazy day on the famous Bondi Beach, strolling through the spacious Royal Botanical Gardens, cruising the harbour by sailboat or jetboat, visiting the Opera House for a tour or an event, even walking on top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, provided you are not afraid of heights! The number of attractions, museums, koala and crocodile encounters, and pretty neighbourhoods makes up quite an extensive list but the city is easy to get around so you will have no problem fitting it all in.
