If you have been dreaming about visiting Sydney, Australia, you’re in for a really good time. Millions of visitors come to the city every year, and many of them decide to come back in the future. This is because Sydney has so much to offer, and there is something for literally everyone. If you’re a fan of night excursions and explorations, here are the best things to do in Sydney after dark.
Take a peek at the Royal Botanic Garden
People are always in a hurry, and they are on tight sightseeing schedule. In the end, it feels like you’ve run a marathon instead of getting familiar with a city. This is why you might want to do something different, for example, go and relax in Australia’s most famous garden. The Royal Botanic Garden really looks and feels like heaven on Earth. A short distance from the Sydney Opera House lies over 30 hectares of themed gardens. There you’ll find not only ferns and palm trees but rainforest plants, exotic orchids, herbs, as well as tropical plants. There is also the Palace Rose Garden, home to more than 1,500 roses.
Drop by the Sydney Tower Eye
First of all, we want to offer something iconic, which is why we suggest you head over to the Sydney Tower Eye. It’s over 300 meters high and by far the tallest building in the city. Sydney Tower Eye sticks up way above the regular city skyline, thus providing you with the best view of Sydney at night.
Climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge
There’s no way you can (or should) miss the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Fondly nicknamed the “Coathanger,” it’s one of the hottest tourist attractions you have to put on your “to see” list. The bridge is almost a century old, and once you get there, you’ll be able to soak in the most spectacular view of the city. Being 135 meters high, it also happens to be the world’s largest steel arch bridge.
Go wild in secret
Sydney has something for everyone, whether you need a club to dance in or you’re into more carnal kinds of pleasure. Plenty of high-end clubs live cinemas, sexy and sensual Sydney brothels, and talented street performances to choose from, and you’ll love every second of it. Doing all these in one night is overkill, so take it slow.
Shop till you drop at the Queen Victoria Building
Shopaholics and window shoppers will definitely enjoy visiting the Queen Victoria Building. This is the hottest shopping place in the city that most certainly has everything you need. Even if you don’t like shopping that much, you’ll certainly appreciate the beautiful architecture that will have you walking around for hours in some sort of a daze.
Visit Circular Quay for a Harbor Cruise
Sightseeing cruises are incredibly popular all over Australia, and Sydney has great things to show too. If you’re hoping to get familiar with the city from all angles, a sightseeing cruise at Circular Quay is just the thing. Not only is this exciting and adventurous, but it’s also incredibly romantic to be surrounded by the vast body of water while gazing at the pretty city lights. Sydney Harbour Coffee Cruise is two hours long, and you’ll get a truly memorable tour where you’ll see some of the most scenic and iconic places in Sydney.
Wander around the Rocks
Those keen on history will love wandering around The Rocks, famous historic area where the Gadigal aboriginal people used to live. This place, later on, became Australia’s first site where the Europeans settled. It got its name because of the rocky coast on the west side of Sydney Cove, and today, this is a valuable historical site where you can see Cadman’s cottage, the oldest surviving house in this area. If you have someone with you, this is the perfect chance to show off your history trivia.
If you have a chance to visit Sydney, don’t hesitate to do so. You’ll have a great time and be able to enjoy local attractions and perks, especially if you team up with a local. If you decide to wander around after dark, prepare to be amazed and fall in love with the city even more.
