Sydney, Australia

As one of Australia’s largest cities, Sydney is best known for the striking Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, as well as for its access to nature at Bondi Beach and along the water. Coastal walks, scenic ferry rides, and cooling dips are all highlights, but there’s more to Sydney than just the great outdoors. You’ll also find a surfeit of cultural riches, from first-rate museums to colorful ethnic enclaves and places to learn about Australia’s Aboriginal heritage. (To dodge peak season (around Christmas, New Year, and early January), visit from late September to early December or February to April)
