Sydney is the easiest big trip to recommend — beaches, the harbour, great coffee everywhere, and a fortnight isn't enough.
Where to stay
Surry Hills or Paddington for cool/walkable, Bondi for beach + young, The Rocks or Circular Quay for first-timers who want the Opera House view.
How to get there
Direct from London Heathrow to Sydney (SYD) on Qantas — 22h with one stop in Singapore or Perth. Book a day or two on the way home to break the journey.
Don't miss
The Bondi-to-Coogee coastal walk (6km, all clifftop). A ferry to Manly. The view from McMahons Point at sunset. Coffee at Single O.
Highlights
- Bondi to Coogee walk
