Springtime in Sydney is one of the best times to visit for many right reasons. If you’re looking forward to visiting the city soon, here are some exciting places and activities you shouldn’t miss!

Sydney Harbour Lunch Cruises

The iconic Sydney Harbour surely doesn’t need any introduction. Jump on board a Sydney Harbour lunch cruise to take in the stunning views of the Harbour. From the spectacular Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge to glimpses of beautiful gardens and the entrance to Luna Park, the lunch cruises in Sydney take you along the scenic route. The spring weather in Sydney is typically warm and the days are longer, making it a perfect time for getaways and picnics. A Sydney Harbour Lunch Cruise combines sightseeing and dining, making it a seamless experience you shouldn’t miss during spring. If you’re lucky, you could spot some of the migratory birds frolicking around the Harbour. Above all, enjoy a scrumptious lunch that is freshly prepared by experienced chefs. If you’re looking for a cheaper way to roam around the Harbour, hop on board a Circular Quay to Manly Ferry and get equally mesmerising views as from a lunch cruise, but minus the luxury.

Explore the Blue Mountains

Head over to Sydney’s picturesque Blue Mountains for a refreshing day out and take a whiff of fresh eucalyptus-scented air. The Blue mountains are blanketed by a blue haze that is caused by a rare phenomenon: the eucalyptus trees emit oil into the atmosphere which combine with the dust particles, water vapour and sunlight to create an optical illusion that allows our eyes to see the bluish haze. A trip to the mountains is good for both your body and soul as you feel revived by its sensuous beauty. If you love adventure, you can explore the surrounding areas including the charming town of Blackheath or the Katoomba waterfalls. Also if you have some extra time to spend, you can visit the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden, Everglades Historic House & Gardens, Breenhold Garden and the Leura Gardens Festival.

Go to the Tulip Festival

Spring season is supposedly the flowering season and here’s a chance for you to see the season in full bloom, right here in Sydney. Tulip Time, as it's known, is one of the most-loved floral festivals in the city that attracts thousands of people every year. Visit the city garden of Bowral to be dazzled by the colour-coordinated tulips. Whether you’re interested in gardening or not, seeing the tulip garden in full bloom is sure to trigger your interests for the same. Besides flowers, there will also be stalls selling a plethora of interesting items, from donuts to artisan handbags.

Whale watching

As you may know, Sydney’s coastlines are a prominent whale watching spot and during spring, more so, thousands of whales migrate along the NSW coast. There are countless vantage points to witness the whales fun and frolic in their natural habitat. You can hop on board a whale watching cruise in Sydney for a fun and exciting experience. The best time to go whale watching is late morning or early afternoon when the sun isn’t shining as bright and there is no glare to make the sighting too difficult.

Visit Sydney Fish Market

Sydney Fish Market is one of the most vibrant and busy places in the city. This authentic and working fish market located near the Harbour is just a short walk from downtown Sydney. Another wonderful experience you shouldn’t miss when visiting the market is the culinary experience they offer. Choose your favourite kinds of fish to be cooked for you by experienced chefs.
