If you\u2019re like most Aussies, everything that\u2019s awesome about a day spent in Sydney<\/a> becomes even better once the sun goes down. What could be greater? The moon is up, the lights are on\u2026and everything is just a bit more beautiful when bathed in the warm glow.<\/span><\/p>\n

So here you are, watching the sun go down, waiting for the first stars to wink through the clouds, and wondering where tonight\u2019s festivities should kick off. Well, mate, take it easy: Expedia.com.au has plenty of ideas for <\/span>things to do in Sydney at night, and we\u2019ve pulled some of our favourites for you to explore.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take Some Pictures<\/span><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s no secret: night photography can deliver some pretty spectacular results. Something about snapping a photo after the sun goes down creates an aura of beauty and mystery\u2014things we\u2019re all over. Sydney in particular lends itself to gorgeous night photography, what with the Harbour, the Opera House, and the dazzling skyline.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get Spooky<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sydney\u2019s got all kinds of great stuff going on at night\u2014but you know it\u2019s haunted, right? For all of its modern grandeur and excitement, the spot where our fair city sits has quite the history: once full of prisoners, fighting, and even lost love. If you\u2019re brave\u2014and we know you are!\u2014put your nerves to the test on the <\/span>Haunted History Walking Ghost Tour<\/a>. You\u2019ll explore The Rocks neighbourhood, hear many of its tales, and maybe even spot a spirit or two. How\u2019s that for an evening out?<\/span><\/p>\n

You could lie down at night and just go to bed, but where\u2019s the fun in that? You have hours in between sunset and when you\u2019re actually tired. Let Expedia.com.au fill up those hours with great deals on exciting activities you\u2019ll remember for a lifetime. Ready? So are we.
