When looking for things to do in Sydney, there are five must-see attractions that you just can't miss. They are:

1. The Sydney Opera House

Sydney is recognised throughout the world by the spectacular architecture of the Sydney Opera House. This iconic structure attracts people from all over who dream of standing on its steps staring up at its magnificent white sails. If you want to marvel at the interior of this unique building too and learn about its history, consider taking a backstage tour. Tours offer the opportunity to see and explore areas not usually open to the public.

2. Sydney Harbour Cruise

You can't help but be drawn in by Sydney's breathtaking harbour and the best way to enjoy it is to get out on it. Whether its relaxation or adventure you are after, there are a huge number of cruise options to choose from including sunset cruises, morning coffee cruises, dinner cruises and jet boat rides.

3. Sydney Aquarium

The Sydney Aquarium is Sydney's Number 1 attraction, and it's easy to see why. This world-class attraction is home to over 11,500 aquatic animals and the world's largest Great Barrier Reef display. Animals that call the aquarium home include sharks, seals, crocodiles, platypi, fairy penguins and rays.

4. Taronga Zoo

Sydney's 'zoo with a view' offers a unique look at many of Australia's exotic animals including koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, bilby and Tasmanian devils as well as animals from around the world like lions, tigers, gorillas, elephants and much more. Behind the scenes tours are available for more intimate and up close wildlife encounters.

5. The Blue Mountains

The Blue Mountains lie on the outskirts of Sydney, about 70km inland. While the journey takes over an hour from the city centre, the spectacular World Heritage listed scenery is well worth the effort and a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The main attractions include magnificent waterfalls, unusual rock formations like the Three Sisters, walking trails through Australian native bushland, charming country towns and limestone caves.
