When to visit Sydney

When to go to Sydney?
Go whenever it suits. Normally temperate, Sydney’s weather makes al fresco dining a year-round option. Just in case, bring a jumper or light jacket during winter months (June through August). Be here at the end of September for the National Rugby League grand final or wait until New Years to experience the celebratory fireworks along the bridge.

Must-see sights

The Opera House: Go for a world-class performance, or just a walk around the gleaming exterior.
The Rocks: Soak in Sydney’s history at the landing site of the First Fleet, and get an up-close view of the Harbour Bridge.
Ferry to Watson’s Bay: You’ll enjoy spectacular harbour vistas en route to this popular beach and resort area.

Insider Tips

Bargain hunters will want to shop century-old Paddy’s Markets where myriad vendors sell eclectic wares including economically priced souvenirs. Easy-to-reach Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park is where Sydney-siders head for a dose of "bush within the city" Farther afield, the scenic Blue Mountains offer English-style gardens and traditional Christmas dinners (in July!).
