Top 5 Things To Do In Sydney Australia

As a local, I always get asked by friends and relatives from overseas about the best things to do to experience Sydney city first hand. If you have never been to Sydney - perhaps from interstate or from overseas - and want adventure and excitement (without trekking in the bush), then this is your guide to Sydney.

The rite of passage for any primary (elementary) school child in Sydney is going to Sydney Aquarium. It is a huge underwater aquarium where you get to experience unique freshwater and marine environments and discover an incredible 13,000 animals from 700 different species - including the world's largest variety of sharks and rays. This is great if you can't or don't like swimming and want to see sharks up close.

At Sydney Aquarium, you'll get to venture through 14 newly-themed zones including a new Shark Walk, a tropical Bay of Rays, an interactive Discovery Rockpool, Mangrove Swamps, a shipwreck and the new ocean tunnel walk-through - Shark Valley. Australia has some of the world's most intriguing marine animals - from dugongs to huge sharks, massive stingrays, majestic turtles, jellyfish, penguins, sea dragons, thousands of tropical fish, enormous crabs and much, much more. You can experience it all without getting wet!

From the freshwater rivers of the south to the tropical waters of the north, including the world's biggest and most impressive Great Barrier Reef exhibit, a trip to Sydney Aquarium takes you around Australia's coastline, into its oceans and up into its waterways - all without leaving the city.

Location: 1-5 Wheat Rd, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia
Opening hours: Open 365 days a year - 9am to 8pm. Last entries are STRICTLY 7pm.
How to get there: http://www.sydneyaquarium.com.au/visitor-info/location/

Other than the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House, unique Australian animals would be  on the to see list of any tourist's schedule. Whether you're a kid at heart or arriving with kids, you'll love Wildlife Sydney Zoo, where you'll get a close encounter with iconic Australian animals: kangaroos and wallabies, koalas and kookaburras to possums to wombats. 

If you're not into fluffy animals, they have reptiles and bugs too, where you get to view some of the deadliest Australian insects (behind glass of course). So whether your into cuddly cuteness or creepy crawlies, you are sure to be pleased.

Location: 1-5 Wheat Road, Darling Harbour, Sydney 2000 Australia
Opening hours: Open daily from 9am - 6pm (last entry STRICTLY 5pm)

For the ultimate view of the city of Sydney, you can't go past The Sydney Tower Eye (formally known as the Sydney Centre Point Tower). With a range of tours and walks available, they have packages to suit those of the not so faint hearted to people afraid of heights (but still want to see all of Sydney).

Skywalk Tour
You'll be walking on air 268 metres above stunning Sydney, with the city streets directly beneath your feet. Look down through the glass floor viewing platform for a bird's-eye perspective of the bustling city below, as part of a 45 minute guided tour around the outside of the iconic golden turret of Sydney Tower.



Location: Corner of Pitt Street & Market Streets, Sydney 2000 Australia
Opening hours: Open 364 days a year from 9am to 10:30pm  (last entry STRICTLY 9pm)

A must visit iconic Sydney attraction has to be the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Built in 1923, it has become a symbol of Sydney and Australia. Most people will take pictures of the bridge or perhaps travel on the bridge via the train or foot, but did you know that the bridge is now hosting bridge walks up to the top of the arch! It is an incredibly exhilarating experience, but rest assured, it is safe as every walker is harnessed.

Location: 3 Cumberland St‎, The Rocks NSW 2000 Australia
Opening hours: Depends on the booking - please check with operator

Last but not least, one of the most well known representations of Australia has to be the Opera House. A unique architecture by Jørn Utzon, it epitomises Sydney and its wonderful shape of peaking crests are recognised all over the world. If you come to Sydney, this is a must visit place. The great thing about the Opera House is, you don't have to go inside or attend any events to tour the area. Feel free to walk about the premises and take pictures. If you want to go inside the Opera House, they do offer tours and musical or theatrical events for the public.

Location: Bennelong Point, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia

So there you have it, a feast for the eyes and senses. Be sure to try out the huge range of Australian cuisines on offer at restaurants around the city. We have some of the world's tastiest restaurants on offer. Our multicultural cuisines are combined with Australia's freshest produce to make them one of the best in the world.

If you're looking for accommodation close to all these major attractions around Sydney and aren't sure where to stay, Metro Hotels offer affordable and comfortable hotel rooms and apartments around Sydney city districts that will keep you close these venues and major public transport hubs.

• Metro Apartments on Darling Harbour
• Metro Hotel Sydney Central

Nearby there are also supermarkets, shops, restaurants, convenience stores, ATMs and public toilets all within walking distance.

Brian Cox An Evening of Scientific Phenomena!

Brian Cox is a phenomenon.

He is the UK’s, and perhaps the world’s, foremost communicator of all things scientific. His TV programs are ground breaking – he has the innate ability to make highly complex matters enormously entertaining and easy to contemplate. He’s the former rock star of the hit band D:Ream, who scored a UK No. 1 in 1994 with the song Things Can Only Get Better.

His live events are a wonderment of an entire new genre - his experiments, audience interactivity, stunning visuals and totally engaging manner leaves audiences enraptured, engaged, informed and perhaps besotted by him.

Brian Cox is the author of Wonders of the Solar System, Wonders of the Universe & Wonders of Life (Harper Collins), Why Does E=mc2 (Da Capo) and Quantum Universe (Penguin).

Brian Cox – An Evening of Scientific Phenomena will be a stage presentation hosted by special guest Adam Spencer.

When: Fri 16 August 2013 - at 8pm
Where: Capitol Theatre ~ 13 Campbell Street, Haymarket NSW 2000 Australia
Book tickets: http://www.ticketmaster.com.au/Brian-Cox-tickets/artist/1872539

Celtic Woman Returns this September

Singing sensation Celtic Woman will return to Australian shores this September!

Celtic Woman, under the distinct musical direction of Emmy®-nominated music producer, David Downes, combines the talents of four gifted Irish women vocalists Chloë Agnew, Lisa Lambe, Susan McFadden and violinist Máiréad Nesbitt. 

Together, their dazzling performances combine the sounds and sensibility of Irish traditional music with memorable original compositions and contemporary pop standards.  The 2013 tour boasts an exciting new stage production and the return of such enduring fan favourites as "You Raise Me Up" and "Orinoco Flow." 

Since its formation in 2004, Celtic Woman has emerged as both a spectacular commercial success and a global cultural phenomenon.  The group's uplifting mix of timeless tradition and contemporary craft has transcended national and cultural borders to touch the hearts of a devoted international fan base.

The group's albums have sold more than seven million copies around the world.  Like all of their albums, Celtic Woman's two 2012 releases, the acclaimed Believe CD/DVD and the holiday-themed CD Home For Christmas, both debuted at #1 on Billboard's World Music chart — marking eight consecutive chart-topping albums for the group.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see Celtic Woman as you've never seen them before.
