Sydney Tours & Activities | Things To Do - Flight Centre

<p>The ideal length of a visit to Sydney largely depends on what you&rsquo;d like to do and the pace at which you&rsquo;d like to travel. Generally, 3 to 5 days is enough time to properly explore Sydney&rsquo;s major tourist attractions without feeling rushed.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p>It&rsquo;s a common misconception, but no, Sydney is not the capital city of Australia (though it is our oldest city!). The capital city is actually Canberra, which is located approximately 3 hours away from Sydney. However, with so many incredible attractions and famous landmarks to enjoy in Sydney, we totally understand why so many people believe this lovely city is our capital!<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sydney is very walkable, with most tourists choosing to explore the city on foot. It also has great public transport links, and the inner and outer city suburbs are all very well connected via train and bus routes.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p>Aside from the top tourist attractions like the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, and Bondi Beach, we also recommend paying a visit to the following places while you&rsquo;re in Sydney:</p>

<ul>
	<li>The Rocks</li>
	<li>Manly Beach</li>
	<li>Royal Botanic Gardens</li>
	<li>Queen Victoria Building</li>
	<li>The Australian Museum<br />
	&nbsp;</li>
