Sydney, NSW, Australia (2025)

Roof structure of the Sydney Harbour Hotel in the city of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. I just loved the structure and the lines and the way the city was visible through it.

For our trip we booked a hotel in the Rocks near the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the city of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Here we are at the rooftop looking at the Sydney Opera House from the hotel.

While on an afternoon walk along Circular Quay we had this lovely view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the city of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

On its completion the Sydney Harbour Bridge became a symbol of Australian progress, modernity and ingenuity. It was used to promote 150 years of British settlement and was a central feature of many Australian tourism and immigration campaigns.

Great view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge on a clear day in the city of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a steel through arch bridge in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, spanning Sydney Harbour from the central business district (CBD) to the North Shore. The view of the bridge, the Harbour, and the nearby Sydney Opera House is widely regarded as an iconic image of Sydney, and of Australia itself.

During a leisurely afternoon walk we had this lovely view of the Rocks as seen from the Sydney Opera House in the city of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

The Rocks is a suburb, tourist precinct, and historic area of Sydney's city centre. It is on the southern shore of Sydney Harbour, and immediately north-west of the Sydney CBD. The close proximity to Circular Quay and the views of the iconic Harbour Bridge, as well as the historic nature of many of the buildings, makes the Rocks very popular with tourists. It features a variety of souvenir and craft shops, as well as many themed and historic pubs.

While having an evening walk on Circular Quay we had an amazing view on the Sydney Opera House at night in the city of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It's pretty surreal to be so close to such an iconic building that is known all over the world.

The lit-up art piece called 'Secret World of a Starlight Ember' on Circular Quay in the city of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Secret World of a Starlight Ember was created specifically for the “Lindy Lee: Moon in a Dew Drop” exhibition and was sited over-looking Sydney Harbour on the Museum of Contemporary Art’s forecourt. The shimmering, polished stainless-steel sculpture spans 5m wide and is articulated by thousands of meticulously placed perforations that represent the marvels of a spiralling cosmos. By day, the sculpture absorbs and reflects its surrounding environment; by night the artwork illuminates to create its own burning constellation.

It was a great experience walking around Circular Quay in the city of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The Sydney skyline at night is really beautiful.

One day we decided to go up the Sydney Harbour Bridge where we had some great views over the harbour and city, one of which was this amazing view of the Opera House, the most iconic building in the city of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

We really liked the statue of Captain James Cook in Hyde Park in the city of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. James Cook's voyages to Australia in the 18th century were pivotal in mapping the continent's eastern coast and establishing British claims to the land.
