Tom Spence Sydney is on of the most exciting, interesting cities in the world. You will have to be a little more specific in your question. How much time have you got? When are you coming? What are your interests (sports, nightlife, scenery, culture, food)? Will you be travelling alone?

Tom Spence See the thread "Sydney - in one day?" from a couple of days ago where this came up recently. Briefly, some ideas: Manly Ferry http://www.sydneyferries.info/, spectacular harbour views. Opera House Australia Square (I vaguely remember it's under AU$20 for the viewing level). http://www.australia.com/places_to_g...true&L=en&C=AU or http://tinyurl.com/4ygm5 Darling Harbour Taronga Park Zoo (see the ferry site) Any beach - but Manly is best because you also get the ferry Hyde Park Luna Park (for kids) or just wander and meet people down at the Rocks. How long are you going to be in Sydney? Cheers, Alan --

Also, ferry to Watsons Bay, walk over and look at the coastal cliffs, then back to Watson's Bay for seafood at the restaurant ($$$), fish and chips in the park, or seafood and beer at the pub, while watching the sun set over Sydney. Ferry or bus back to town. The Sydney fish market for lunch -mmmmm. Tom
