Sydney Opera House

The shell roof of the Sydney Opera House.

Sydney is large and sprawling, but compared to other major cities around the world, there isn’t much that’s distinctive in it, especially when it comes to landmarks.

All the eggs are in one basket with the Opera House. If you’re into beaches then Bondi and Manly might be on your todo list, otherwise, you’ll likely be spending your time at Circular Quay around the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, and The Rocks, along with every other visitor.

Ground level from the Circular Quay side.
