Sydney is a beautiful place to visit at any time of year, whether you’re here for our world-famous beaches and ocean pools or lining up to see the dazzling light shows at Vivid Sydney – the largest winter festival in the Southern Hemisphere. But did you know we have excellent restaurants and bars? (Though our nightlife has suffered in the last four years thanks to the city’s lockout laws). And we’ve got heaps of tourist attractions and walking tours that cater for first-time visitors through to long-established residents. If you need a helping hand navigating our trams, trains and buses, check out our guide to the city’s public transport below. We’ve also got guides to hotels in Sydney, travel tips and 50 things to do in Sydney at least once.
