World Travel and Tourist Destinations

The word Australia conjures up so many images of exotic animals, outback adventures, and outlandish experiences, but in the cities, Austria rivals any other city for sophistication and urban excitement. From the famous Sydney Opera House to an exuberant nightlife, Sydney has what you expect from a city, with an Australian twist.

Visit the Royal Botanic Gardens, which is open year round and are free to the public. Lying within this amazing garden is the ruins of the Garden Palace, built just for exhibitions. Although the original was mostly destroyed in the early 1880s, the Government House was built near the location and serves as an extraordinary reminder of the former glory of the Garden Palace. For the true architect lover, the city is rife with stylish and unusually buildings and structures. This includes the Harbor Bridge. Perhaps the most intrigue aspect of the bridge is the Bridge Climb, and yes, it is exactly what it sounds like. Take a breath-taking (and perhaps terrifying) view of the city from the peak of the bridge. The total time to complete the climb is three hours, and don’t take any of your personal belongs because you will have to leave them behind before you start.

The Australian Aquarium is unrivalled in types of sea life presented, and as would be expected a good number of the animals that can be viewed are indigenous. Likewise, the Australia Zoo is a must for all families. It is a show that is presented as only the Australians can imagine. For those who cannot get enough wildlife, roughly an hour out of the city’s center is the Featherdale Wildlife Park. The park is home to native animals only and is probably the best way to experience Australian wildlife if you do not want to leave the comforts of the city.
