Your Sydney tour is not complete until you try out these Top Experiences! Sydney is definitely one of Australia’s favorite and most toured cities both for travellers and Aussies from other regions. Finding the best things to do is the main focus, especially to those with limited time of stay. This list won’t include the Sydney Opera though – but make sure to visit it!
Now, instead of spending your time in your hotel room, go out and explore everything the flourishing city of Sydney has to offer regardless of time of day.
Enjoy a panoramic view of the city from Sydney Tower Eye.
This location sits high on any traveller’s to-do list in Sydney. It’s a place everyone visiting or living in Sydney needs to experience. Atop the Sydney Tower in CBD’s heart, you will be treated to a fantastic view of the region. The tower is filled with tourists during the day admiring the awesome views and cameras in every direction.
At night, seeing the beautiful Sydney skyline and the neighbouring Sydney Harbour twinkling bright is fascinating to behold. Most people are headed down to the waterside districts at night, but you’ll be one step ahead in the sites from a new height.
Climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
This is definitely a must-do activity for everyone whether you’re from around the country or abroad, and while it can be quite expensive, your investment is surely well worth it once after reaching the top. The ultimate adventure and sight seeing combo, this is one of the few bridges climbs in the world that will let you go to the top of the iconic bridge.
You’ll climb the 1,332 steps from the base of the bridge to the top. Towering high above Sydney, you’ll be able to admire the awe-inspiring views. You can climb during the day or at sunrise but the sunset or twilight climbs is something you should try to experience. What you see will astound you.
Relax on a Harbour Cruise
While we’re on the topic of harbours, let’s also talk about another activity – two of them actually. Going out to dinner is a prime choice for activities, and you can step it up by having dinner on board a boat while cruising around Sydney Harbour.
You can ride aboard a 1800s tall ship with Sydney Harbour Tall Ships, which is a 6-course dinner on a deluxe vessel with Captain Cook Cruises, a luxurious buffet dinner cruise or a cabaret show and dinner cruise with Sydney Showboats, which includes many entertaining acts to keep the experience fun and unique everytime.
Visit the NSW Art Gallery for a culture ride
The NSW Art Gallery is an expansive building that’s home to many impressive art collections and is a must-see attraction for every culture buff living or visiting in Sydney. In anycase, the striking artworks aren’t only to be seen during the day. Because of the gallery’s Art After Hours events every Wednesday, visitors can come to the gallery until 10 pm.
The Fine Dining Scene.
Among many other things, Sydney is famous for its sumptuous food and delectable wines and drinks. Some of the best collection of fine dining restaurants Sydney has to offer is located at none other than The Star Sydney. The list of foreign visitors and crowd-favourite restaurants are featured here, including Balla, BLACK Bar & Grill, MomofukuSeiōbo, Sokyo, and The Century.
At any time of the day, you can something that you or your travel companions will love. Traditional, Fusion or Modern? A David Chang original or steak grilled to perfection? Your options all the options here are mouth-watering.
End Note
There you have it! Make sure to visit these locations to complete your Sydney tour.

Climbing a bridge, huh? Not for the faint of heart or those afraid of heights, but I can imagine the views are spectacular. Personally, I’d really enjoy a visit to the art museum.

I haven’t been yet, and these all sound like great experiences. I think the bridge would be at the top of my list and then the harbor cruise.

I would love to visit Sydney, but I heard that by living in the EU I need a visa and a good reason to travel to Australia.
Traveling as a tourist is not enough to get the visa, so I guess that I need to wait a few more years.

Yes, a visa is required for EU citizens, but getting one is free and (usually) pretty quick. The easiest way is to apply for eVisitor online. See “Eligible passport holders” on that page to check if you are eligible for eVisitor! Should be no issue at all.
