Sydney Opera House

I suggest checking out the Opera House at sunrise. I went around 6 AM, and the views were unbelievable without the usual crowd.

My advice is to book tickets for any shows in advance. I waited too long and missed out on a great performance because it sold out.

I think the best way to explore is to join a guided tour—it gives you all the insider stories about the building's history and architecture!

Planning to take photos? I recommend visiting around sunset. The lighting makes the structure look even more magical!
Sydney Harbour Bridge
Queen Victoria Building
Australian War Memorial

Check the schedule for special exhibitions beforehand. I stumbled upon a fantastic one, but it was only later in the day and I wish I had planned for it earlier.

I suggest visiting early in the morning, around 9 AM, to avoid the crowds. The place gets busy, and it’s way more enjoyable when you can explore in peace.
My advice is to take your time in the galleries. I rushed through initially, but those exhibits really deserve a closer look and some reflection.
St Mary's Cathedral

My advice is to bring a small blanket or something comfy if you plan to enjoy the gardens outside. It's really peaceful and perfect for a little rest after exploring!
I recommend looking for free entry days or any community events when you visit. You can stumble upon live music or local art displays, which adds a fun vibe to the experience.
Accor Stadium

If you're planning to catch a game or event, get there around 90 minutes early. It really helps you soak in the atmosphere and avoid the last-minute rush. Plus, you can grab some food and drinks without standing in a super long line.
Qudos Bank Arena

I recommend bringing your own snacks if possible. Some of the food prices inside are a bit high. I thought I’d grab something light, but ended up spending a lot more than planned.

i suggest you arrive at least an hour before the game starts. the traffic can get super heavy, and finding parking might take longer than you think. plus, it gives you time to explore the venue and grab some snacks.
My advice is to check out the public transport options. It's much easier than driving and trying to deal with parking. The train station is pretty close, and it saves you cash too!

I think seating in sections 115-117 gives a great view of the court but try to get tickets for rows 10 or lower for a real immersive experience. I sat too high up once, and it wasn’t as fun!
Nan Tien Temple

If you’re into photography, the best time for pics is just before sunset. The lighting makes everything look stunning! Just be ready to share the space with other avid photographers.

I suggest wearing comfy shoes! There’s a lot of walking around the temple and beautiful gardens. Plus, you’ll want to explore every inch without sore feet.

Check out the little café on-site for some tasty and affordable vegetarian meals. I thought it was a great way to enjoy some local flavors without breaking the bank.
St Paul's Cathedral
Hornby Lighthouse

Check the tidal movements before you go; low tide offers the best beach access and stunning views of the lighthouse from different angles.
