Fun things to do and see when backpacking in Sydney

Australia’s busiest and trendiest city, Sydney, is also home to a slew of picturesque destinations that feature rolling mountains, beautiful beaches and pristine rainforests. Every year more than 10 million people come down to Sydney to enjoy a share of this southern paradise. And if you’re planning to visit Sydney shortly, here are some fun things you can do to make your trip more memorable.

Dinner cruises in Sydney

One of the most popular destinations in Sydney is the iconic Sydney Harbour that houses two world-famous structures—the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. You can simply board a ferry or a luxury sightseeing or dinner cruise in Sydney to enjoy the breathtaking panoramic sights of the Harbour. As opposed to taking the ferry on Sydney Harbour, boarding a Sydney Harbour dinner cruise will let you enjoy the sights from prime positions while enjoying a scrumptious dinner served with premium beverages. Then there are some cruises that include shows and live performances to their dinner packages intending to provide the guests with a unique transcendental experience. The unique paddle-wheeler vessel on Sydney Harbour offers the Showboat experience which has gained traction among both tourists and the locals alike. Sign up for this special Sydney Harbour dinner cruise experience to have an unforgettable night in Sydney.

Go beach hopping with your friends

The coastal city of Sydney is gifted with over 100 beautiful beaches and naturally, the Sydneysiders love spending time on the beach. And for the same reason, beach hopping is one of Sydney’s favourite recreational activities that will never be out of trend. Natural sea-side pools, mysterious rock formations, beautiful sandstone cliffs and white sandy beaches that frill the turquoise blue waters, Sydney’s coastlines have it all. Sign-up for a coastal walk that offers the best scenic views to make you feel refreshed and inspired. Some of the popular coastal walks you can find in Sydney are Spit Bridge to Manly Coastal Walk, Federation Cliff Walk, Royal National Park Coast Track and finally Bondi Beach to Coogee Coastal Walk. Some of these walks cannot be completed within a day. So it’s highly recommended that you do some homework before you choose a trail that suits your schedule.

Do the Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb

If you’re on Sydney Harbour during the day time, span your eyes over to the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and you’d probably see tiny silhouetted human figures walking over the rails of the bridge. Here’s a fun fact for you: Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of the only three bridges that allow people to do the climb. A perfect way to get an adrenaline fix, the bridge climb is also one way to get a stunning aerial view of the Harbour precincts. So if you love adventures, dear friend, this is just for you!

Besides these fun activities, there are numerous other activities such as visiting the Opera House, going on a food tour(Sydney has a vibrant culinary scene waiting to be explored), or travelling to the suburbs to explore the laid-back neighbourhood. By all means, Sydney is truly a traveller’s paradise that has lots of surprises hidden away even for a frequent visitor.
