Sydney is a great place to be as both locals and tourists will agree. There are plenty of areas that deserve a visit if you ever find yourself here. Being with family and friends will only make it more special and memorable. Just be sure to get a good bus hire Sydney company to take care of the transportation. Your destinations can include the following:

Local Hotspots

There are several iconic places around the city that visitors must definitely put on their list. Take, for instance, the beautiful Sydney Harbour where you can see the famous Opera House. Its unusual shape has been the talk of the town since it was built. Now it is the venue for many great shows by amazing artists all over the world. There is also the Harbour Bridge which lights up with fireworks every New Year’s Eve. Then there are the museums, restaurants, parks, sporting arenas, and many more.

Beaches

If you are weary of the concrete jungle, then why not hop over to the beach? This city is by the bay so it is quite easy for people to find a nearby beach where they can relax and unwind after a tiring day. There is no need to plan for a massive trip and book expensive hotels because of the proximity of great locations like Manly Beach and Bondi Beach. There you will see people from all walks of life enjoying themselves — swimming, surfing, or sunbathing.

Blue Mountains

Another perk of living in this city is the ease of having a mountain adventure. Escape for the weekend and go to the Blue Mountains where you can disconnect from the world, even for a while, and simply enjoy what nature has to offer. Indeed, there is plenty to enjoy from the breathtaking views, to the gorgeous trails, to the fine meals at restaurants, to the challenging activities. You and your friends can go to a ranch and try to ride horses along nature paths with guides coming along for safety. More extreme adventures are also possible for adrenaline junkies.

Vineyards

Further out are vineyards where the famous Australian wines come from. Many come here for the weekend to sample the offerings and buy a few bottles for their collection. Learn more about the process of winemaking through their demonstrations and wine-tasting sessions. Know which pairs well with what and impress your friends when you get back. Or just go around the lovely vineyards and pick fresh grapes. Some places even offer rides on hot air balloons for a relaxed aerial view of the plantation.
