Landmarks

TODO — what landmarks in Sydney are actually worth the time.

5 places
Sydney Opera House, Sydneymust see
Bennelong Point

Sydney Opera House

A building that took sixteen years, ten times its budget and its architect's career, and is worth every part of that.

Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydneymust see
Dawes Point

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Fifty-three thousand tonnes of steel, six million rivets, and three quite different ways to get on top of it.

Bondi Beach, Sydneymust see
Eastern Suburbs

Bondi Beach

A kilometre of sand, a surf club that invented lifesaving, and a coastal walk that is better than the beach.

The Rocks, Sydneymust see
Sydney Cove

The Rocks

The oldest European quarter in Australia, saved from demolition by a builders' union in the 1970s.

Manly, Sydneymust see
Northern Beaches

Manly

A ferry ride through the middle of the harbour to a beach town with surf on one side and calm water on the other.
