Sydney Opera House

Highlight • Monument

The Sydney Opera House is one of Australia's most iconic landmarks and therefore a must-see for anyone visiting the city. Located on Sydney Harbour, it offers breathtaking views of the city skyline and the famous Harbour Bridges.

Opened in 1973, the Opera House is considered one of the finest opera houses in the world. It hosts numerous opera, ballet, and theatre performances each year, as well as concerts and other cultural events.

A visit to the Sydney Opera House is also recommended for those who aren't particularly interested in classical music. The building's architecture is simply stunning and offers the opportunity to take a guided tour, where you can learn more about its history and significance.

The Opera House also features a restaurant and a bar, both offering wonderful views of the harbour.
