24 days in Sydney Itinerary

Lent iconic status as a result of its famous bridge and opera house, Sydney has a down-to-earth charm that enhances its spectacular setting and functional efficiency.

Venture out of the city with trips to Katoomba (Echo Point Lookout, Wentworth Falls, & more), Gallery Blackheath (in Blackheath) and Leura (Everglades Historic House and Gardens & The Nook). Spend the 29th (Sat) exploring nature at Sydney Harbour National Park. Dedicate the 7th (Mon) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area. There's still lots to do: take in nature's colorful creations at The Royal Botanic Garden, take a stroll through Darling Harbour, see a show at Sydney Opera House, and get the adrenaline pumping with an extreme tour.

If you are flying in from Germany, the closest major airport is Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport. In December, plan for daily highs up to 32°C, and evening lows to 21°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 13th (Sun) early enough to travel back home.
