Sydney

Sydney is the Harbour City, and is the oldest and most cosmopolitan city in Australia with an enviable reputation as one of the world's most beautiful and livable cities. Brimming with history, nature, culture, art, fashion, cuisine and design, it is set next to miles of ocean coastline and sandy surf beaches. The city is also home to the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, two of the most iconic structures on the planet. The gateway to Australia, it lies on the deepest natural harbour in the world and stretches for 140 kilometres.

    Queen Victoria Building

    the QVB

    The site of a market place since 1810, its current Romanesque facade was completed in 1896 and was extensively restored in the late 1980s as a prestigious shopping centre. The Christmas tree around Christmas time reaches through all the floors to the full height of the building. It contains a variety of small shops selling luxury fashion and cafes. On the top floor is a large albeit very cramped model and toy shop. Take time to check out the two mechanical clocks hanging from the ceiling, as well as the sealed letter which is to be opened in 2085.

  8. BuyDarling Harbour

    Sydney Fish Market

    The largest seafood market in the Southern Hemisphere, which moved to shiny, modern digs in early 2026. The restaurants here are by and large tourist traps, but the fresh fish is excellent: grab a selection of sashimi or some of the precooked treats (prawns, crab, lobster) and a bottle of vino, then head across the road to Wentworth Park for a picnic. They also run a well-regarded cooking school. Sydneysiders stock up on seafood in the week before Christmas, and at Easter, making it exceptionally busy. Ample parking available.

    Sydney Fish Markets

    The Fish Market is both a trade market for retailers and a place for the general public to get their hands on the day's catch. The fish market has a number of vendors who will cook your fish for you, and a cooking school. Try the local Sydney rock or Pacific oysters. An early lunch at the fish markets is a local institution. Watch out for the swooping seagulls. A shiny new market is under construction right next door, and will replace the current rather grotty market sometime in 2025.
