No shot of Sydney's skyline is complete without the Sydney Harbor Bridge (left), and the Sydney Opera House. Tourists have the option of climbing the bridge, awarded with panoramic and unparalleled views of the city. Harnesses ensure your safety.

A closer look at Sydney Opera House, which still hosts performances on many nights.

For an alternative view of Sydney Harbor, opt to take the ferry from Circular Quay. Ferries to nearby Taronga Zoo also depart from the same location, and makes for a great day trip to discover koalas and kangaroos up close.

The taller buildings in the distance make up Sydney's commercial center, where many offices can be found.

Bondi Beach is a short drive from city center. One of the most renowned beaches in the world, it has no shortage of sand, water, or people tanning.
