Sightseeing in Sydney

Sydney offers some unforgettable tourist attractions.

Family vacation

Sydney can also be an ideal place for a family vacation. You can relax on beautiful sandy beaches and the most famous one is the Bondi Beach.

If you are a sporty person, instead of just relaxing, we encourage you to try out surfing, and two beaches ideal for this activity are Maroubra and Cronulla.

Apart from the seaside, there are many outdoor pools throughout the city. Many of these are placed on the coast so that you can enjoy swimming surrounded by the ocean and a magnificent view.

If you choose this kind of vacation, Randwick, one of the most visited areas outside central Sydney, is the perfect choice for you.

It is known as “Sports Coast” famous for its rugby teams and top class golf courses. It is a home to 10 different beaches including the Coogee Beach.

For this kind of holiday, you will need to find a suitable place to stay and a well-situated Randwick accommodation is exactly what you need.

Here you can find an affordable hotel which is a stone’s throw away from local attractions, such as Centennial Park with beautiful flora and fauna, favourite among children. Or if you prefer sports over nature, you should certainly visit the Allianz Stadium.
