Discover, Australia


 


Every single year more and more people travel to Australia on vacation, meanwhile we are not surprised that the number of tourists has increased over the last few years. From East to West, from the North to South, Australia has a lot to offer to its visitors. Nature lovers, sports lovers or city lovers know that they can find what they enjoy the most in Australia.

Australia, a country and at the same time a continent that due to its landform, it could be considered an island. Here, all the beauty and diversity combine in one place.


What makes this country such a lovely and a unique travel destination? It is rich in natural surroundings. Its breathtaking landscapes and the wonderful crystal blue water off the beaches, (such as Whitehaven beach) are among the natural beauties.

Meanwhile this wonderful country has a lot more to offer. Every day is an adventure! Australia has a range of Parks and Gardens that can be found all across the nation. In Parks like Kings Canyon or Daintree National Park, we can explore a variety of animals and plants (most of them endemic). Australia is clearly considered to have one of the highest concentrations of biodiversity in the world.

Sydney, Australia’s financial center and the most populous city nationwide. It is home to some of the landmarks known in the rest of the world and probably one of the cities that comes to our mind when we think about Australia.

Who has never seen The Sydney Harbor Bridge or The Sydney Opera House? We can easily spend hours exploring this World Heritage architectural wonder and still where you can see a world-class performance beneath the famous white sails of this renowned building.

Sydney is big and vibrant city therefore there is a lot you can do. From art galleries to workshops or from Historical sites and museums to the best shopping malls in the country!  It also has an endless variety of attractions to entertain visitors of all ages with several events throughout the year including local festivals and musicals.

There are other tourist attractions that cannot be missed in different parts of the city! Two of them are the harborside amusement park and Sydney Tower Eye, where you can enjoy a privileged view over the harbor.

As we are in Australia we can still see the animals from around the globe at Sydney’s harbourside Taronga Zoo and not really far from the city center take a look at Featherdale Wildlife Park, featuring more than two thousand animals including penguins, koalas and kangaroos.

Visiting the Sydney Aquarium is a must! It is one of the biggest aquariums in the world where you can discover more than six hundred species that make the Australian marine life so diverse.

As cosmopolitan city, we can find in Sydney many different dishes from several cuisines. Furthermore its best restaurants also combine the finest local ingredients with the creative flair of local chefs.

When it comes to accommodation this fantastic city has a vast number of hotels that can make your stay even more pleasant according to your taste and budget.

Getting to Sydney could not be easier. Sydney airport, which gets flights from many parts of the world, is located not really far from the city.

Enjoy the unique experience that this gorgeous country has to provide you and discover, Australia.
