"As soon as you see the Opera House you are in awe of it! Sydney is an amazing city, so vibrant and so easy to get around on foot. Darling Harbour is great with lots of lovely restaurants and bars. As an alternative to the Sydney Bridge walk why not try the Sky Walk round the Sydney Tower? It’s a great way to see the whole of the city."
