Sitting on the edge of the world, Sydney is considered as one of the world’s greatest cities. Here are some things you should do and see in Sydney.

Explore Sydney’s hottest neighborhood

Many big-ticket attractions can be found in or around the Circular Quay area, right by the port. Here, you can get on ferries(轮渡) to faraway islands or go exploring on foot with the Sydney Opera House, Royal Botanic Gardens and Museum of Contemporary all nearby.

Take side trips

Popular among outdoor types, the rough Blue Mountains—about two hours by train west of the city—promises winter skiing, excellent hiking and kangaroo sightings. Walking through the national park, travelers will watch forests, waterfalls, natural caves, small villages and rock formations.

The Hunter valley, just a two-hour drive north of Sydney, is Australia’s oldest wine region. Most vineyards(葡萄园) are family-owned, focusing on small production. Wine is more personal here.

Stay in style

The classic Langham Hotel is located just west of Circular Quay, offering easy access to the famous port.

As you explore its beautiful corridors(走廊), look for contemporary artworks from around the world—The Langham Hotel has the largest art gathering (more than $1 million worth) in Australia.

Meanwhile, those looking for a more relaxed experience can go camping on Cockatoo Island—just a quick boat ride from Circular Quay.

Travel tips

• Leaving tips at the bar or for a taxi isn’t expected, but it’s appreciated.

• When riding in a taxi alone, it’s customary to sit in the front seat.

• Bring sun cream, sunglasses and hat—whatever the season.

• On Sundays, families enjoy discounted fares on Sydney’s ferries and trains.
