If you are planning a trip to the venue of the 2000 summer Olympics then there are definitely a number of activities which you should participate in and various different places which you should visit. Please find below a list of thing things which all tourists should do while in town.
Beaches
Sydney is home to a number of amazing beaches so if you enjoy surfing, taking a swim or simply getting a tan then there are plenty of options for you. The most well known beaches are Palm beach, Bondi beach, Manly beach and Balmoral beach.
Aquarium
A great place to spend the day with your family is at the aquarium which is home to the premier exhibit on the Great Barrier Reef. There are more than twelve thousand marine animals at the Aquarium and it has the biggest collection on earth on Australian aquatic life. Opening hours are daily from 09:00 until 22:00.
Opera House
One of the most famous buildings in the world is most definitely the Sydney Opera House which was designed by the Danish architect Utzon. Even if you don't enjoy going to an opera, you should still head down to the Opera House and take some pictures of this beautiful building.
Taronga Zoo
The Toronga Zoo is one of the oldest zoos in Australia and first opened its doors to the public in 1884. Visitors can enjoy walking through an Asian rain forest at this Zoo and there is a spectacular selection of different Asian animals including Asian turtles and Asian Elephants. Opening hours at the Taronga Zoo are daily from 09:00 until 17:00.
Royal Botanic Garden
One of my personal favorite places to visit is the Royal Botanic Garden which is open daily from 06:30 until around 19:00. If you would like to spend a part of the day in a relaxing environment then you should definitely plan a visit to the Royal Botanic Garden. It is divided into various different sections which include the Herb Garden, Oriental Gardens, Pyramid Glasshouse, Rose Gardens and the Succulent Garden. Admission to this leading Sydney tourist attraction is free of charge.
