16 days in Sydney Itinerary

Lent iconic status as a result of its famous bridge and opera house, Sydney has a down-to-earth charm that enhances its spectacular setting and functional efficiency.

Get out of town with these interesting Sydney side-trips: Katoomba (Echo Point Lookout, The Three Sisters, &more), Blue Mountains National Park (Grand Canyon track & Lincoln's Rock) and Bilpin Cider Company (in Bilpin). There's still lots to do: enjoy the sand and surf at Bondi Beach, trek along Bondi to Coogee Walk, stroll through Manly Beach, and admire the natural beauty at Royal Botanic Garden Sydney.
