Sydney is not just a gateway to Oz, there is so much to see and experience here. A stunning harbour side location, iconic beaches, top end restaurants, fantastic pubs, world heritage sites, terrific shopping and a great weather makes it a very popular city. After check in at hotel the rest of the day is free to explore the city . Our suggestion is to head to the Royal Botanic Gardens where you will get some beautiful harbour views. Its a great way to spend a few hours (free) in Sydney. Walk from the Opera House to Mrs Macquarie’s Chair for one of the best vantage points in Sydney. Take a picnic lunch, a blanket and a bottle of wine and toast to the start of a beautiful holiday.
