Sydney
Iconic landmarks, bustling city life, huge events and stunning beaches, Sydney epitomizes what Australia is a ll about and a visit to the country simply must involve a visit to Sydney. The home of the famous surfing beach Bondi, the incredible harbor with the art-deco opera house and of course the iconic Harbour Bridge are just some of the things to see and do in this vast city. The attractions of Sydney are very close together and you could be surfing on the morning and climbing the iconic bridge by night.
Melbourne
Arguably the home of Australian sport and events and one of the fastest growing cities in Australia, Melbourne makes for a great city for you to spend some time during your trip to Australia. From the trendy Federation square which is packed with hip bars and restaurants and art museums to the 100,000 capacity MCG stadium, Melbourne is a city that is alive and a trip to the city will be filled with fun and relaxation in equal measure.
Perth
The capital of Western Australia is Perth, a stunning city which sits where the sprawling Swan River meets Australia’s southwest coast. Perth is a metropolitan city which incorporates beautiful white, sandy beaches within its suburban areas. Perth is something of a mecca for artists and the city features many museums and theaters which show regular ballet and opera shows. If you want to see the city from the best location then take a small ferry down the Swan River to enjoy a meal as you float on down and take in the breathtaking Perth skyline.
