A Trip Down Under Wouldn’t Be the Same Without A Stop In Sydney Australia

Considered the pride of Australia, Sydney is certainly a spot you should have at the top of your list if you’re considering a trip down under. There is something for everyone to enjoy in this rich part of Australia. When you decide to make a trip here, take advantage of the Sydney hotel discounts that Motel.com has to offer.
Manly Beach & Sydney Harbor Beach
At the top of places to see in Sydney, Australia are these two iconic beaches. You can select a tour by canoe that will show you many of the fantastic coves and caves in the beach area, or choose to simply take Manly Ferry. This harbor is the spot where settlers from Europe first landed and therefore was the place for the first European colony.
While at the harbor, be sure to visit the famous Opera house and the bridge. The Sydney Opera House is a building that is considered to be one of the most distinctive in the world. You can catch many different performing art shows here. You can also get wonderful views of these beautiful places by taking the ferry to the island of Manly, named for the original locals and the ‘manly’ way they behaved.
Kangaroo Valley
If you’re looking for a visit that’s a little closer to nature this may be the place for you. Here you can enjoy tons of wildlife, including the kangaroos for which the valley is named, along with river site camping. One of the most favored attractions of the area is all the wineries where you can take tours and sample some delicious Australian wine. Book in one of the Kangaroo Valley cheap hotels for a uniquely delightful experience.
The Rocks
This maze of warehouses, shops, courtyards and cul-de-sacs dates to the time when Sydney was still just a colony for convicts. Most buildings were built in the early 19th century and today tourists love to hit the lanes and visit all the little pubs, shops and restaurants that are available.
