The hotel is centrally located within easy walking distance of many landmarks, like the famous Sydney Opera House.


Day 2. Sydney life

If you like walking, I recommend the beautiful waterfront walk from Woolloomooloo to Anzac Bridge. This 11 km route passes through several landmarks, including the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and Darling Harbour.

Stop for lunch at one of the many Barangaroo restaurants or visit the Sea Life Sydney Aquarium. 

Other attractions in Sydney include Chinatown, the Botanical Gardens, the Taronga Zoo or the historical Rocks area.

Or perhaps visit the Sydney Tower, which offers stunning views?


Day 3. Blue mountains

After breakfast, you will meet your driver and start your day trip to the Blue Mountains.

We will send you more information about the Blue Mountains and lunch recommendations closer to your trip.

Both are easily reached from the city centre.

Day 11. Beach life

Spend your last day relaxing at the Lagoon or by the pool at your hotel.
