The Incomparable Sydney Harbour
The historical and modern anchor of the city, Sydney Harbour and its surrounding inlets, coves and smaller harbors together form Port Jackson, a 21-square-mile waterfront playground. Spend a day among its iconic sights.
Sydney Opera House. Sydney's most famous landmark opened in 1973 and currently hosts more than 40 shows per week. For an extra-stunning view, take a stroll past the building at night, when brilliant lighting arrangements illuminate the striking white curves of its exterior.
Sydney Harbour Bridge. Nicknamed "The Coathanger," this steel expanse spans 3,770 feet and is 439 feet tall at its peak. Daredevils can climb to the summit - safely tethered to a railing on a guided tour - while pedestrian- and cycle-only thoroughfares offer a tamer option for crossing.
Boat tours. Of course, the best place to see the water is on the water. A wide range of boat tours voyage into the harbor's nooks and crannies, from yacht excursions to dinner cruises set against a beautiful sunset. Ask your concierge for a recommendation.

Forecasting Your Sydney Vacation
Any time is a good time to visit Sydney. Throughout the year, temperatures remain pleasant and mild; rain is rarely extreme and snow is nonexistent. Remember that seasons in Australia are opposite of those in the Northern Hemisphere, meaning winter months span from June to August and summers last from December to February. Spring and fall are the least crowded seasons.
