Whatever you''re seeking on your holiday, Sydney most definitely has it: fantastic beaches where you can lounge in the sun; smart shops and boutiques to buy something special for yourself or to take back home; engaging, fascinating museums; top bars and restaurants too.

The best place to start in Sydney is the harbour. The world-famous Darling Harbour is a splendid example of a successful waterfront development, of which the locals are rightly proud.

Most journeys through Sydney begin at the harbour. Darling Harbour is now world famous. It was one of the first successful waterfront ...

When darkness falls however, Darling Harbour comes to life in a whole different way, with a great casino, the Lyric Theatre and the Star Theatre, as well as more great nightlife spots. Young or old, the place offers a great deal for you to enjoy.
