Catch the best day and night views of the city at Sydney Tower and Sydney Harbour Cruises

Sydney is a picturesque city with many beautiful natural and man-made landmarks spread across the place. You have a lot to see in Sydney, a city that has many hues in cultural and historical significance. As a country with a high immigrant population index, Australia is a melting pot of cultural diversity. Most of the population are concentrated in the urban areas, so Sydney shares many of these traits. This might be the reason why millions of tourists visit the Land of Oz every year. A slice of ‘something of everything’ can be enjoyed here. You get the feeling that you are getting a whole lot more for your money’s worth.

A bird’s eye view of such a large city with over four million residents from the Sydney Tower is a visual treat. See the hustle and bustle of a big city,as people and vehicles move by in miniature proportions. On a clear day, you can see the vastness of the city with buildings wherever you look, and the distant blue of the vast ocean in the background. There are many white dots bobbing on the turquoise blue waters, all enjoying the sights of Sydney Harbour. You also get a glimpse of the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, iconic locations on the harbour. The harbour waters will be dotted with ferries and sightseeing vessels on Sydney Harbour cruises, all of them trying to give their passengers a good look at the many wonders of Sydney.

Having mentioned Sydney Harbour cruises, it’s impossible not to talk about the views. As the day moves gradually to night, it is time to head to the harbour to see the lights coming up. We are not talking about the twinkling stars of the night sky, but the city lights that come on as night falls. It’s difficult to put into words the night time beauty of Sydney, as even a thousand words would not do justice to it.Lights have a charm, especially when it gets dark and enclosed by shadows. Sometimes light accentuates the beauty, and makes us realise the finer details that would have earlier been missed while in plain sight during day light. You get to appreciate the architectural beauty of the Sydney Opera House more so at night while on a Sydney Harbour cruise, as the surrounding distractions are now shrouded in darkness. Same is the case with the Harbour Bridge, a Sydney Harbour cruise will give you a better look at ‘The Coat Hanger’,an 84-year-old Sydney landmark that is also an engineering marvel!

Though a bird’s eye view of the night time beauty of Sydney has its charm, it is definitely incomparable to the experience of a Sydney Harbour cruise. But it depends on personal preferences though. For some the other way around might be more appealing – enjoying the day time view on a Sydney Harbour Cruises and the night view from the Sydney Tower.

So now you know where to go, if you are looking for the best views of Sydney, day or night!
