Sydney has always been a popular choice for travel in Australia. The highlights of the itinerary are: Sydney Harbor Bridge standing under clear skies for stunning water views up close, Palm Beach for leisurely Sydney’s northern coastline, and Wollongong Lighthouse for unbeatable views overlooking the entire blue sea and cliffs. From the bustling city to the tranquility of the seaside, it turns out that Sydney can gather different photo-taking versions in one day! Attractions Recommendations & Guides Dawes Point, Sydney Harbor Bridge Watchtower For a sunny day, it is recommended to visit the Sydney Harbor Bridge Watchtower (Sydney Hbr Brg, The Rocks NSW 2000 Australia) first. The bridge itself is already a landmark in Sydney, and it's superb for both long-term and close-up shots! The observation tower is high and overlooks the entire harbor. It is recommended to arrive before noon. The sun angle is good and the sea is reflective. Opening hours Monday and Saturday and Sunday 10:00–18:00, Tuesday to Friday 10:00–16:00, time to note. Palm Beach Located in the north of Sydney, it is a hotspot for beachgoers and drama fans (the filming of Home and Away). The beach is super comfortable, it is recommended to reserve 2-3 hours to walk slowly, take beautiful photos, do nothing but sunbathe is very chill. There are several small cafes and fruit ice cream shops nearby, tip: try The Boathouse Palm Beach, decorated for photo taking, coffee and desserts. City of Wollongong & Wollongong Lighthouse The city of Wollongong South (Address: NSW Post Code 2500, Australia) is open all day year-round and is a must-see for checking out the Blue Sea Cliffs of the Southern Hemisphere. The Wollongong Lighthouse is surrounded by a large area of grass and cliffs, and it is recommended to bring a thin jacket, even if the sea breeze is sometimes cool in the summer, the effect is more beautiful in the morning or dusk. The lighthouse location has a very good view, with a distant view of PACIFIC OCEAN and the Wollongong coastline, sea view control will definitely not be disappointed. Practical tips 1. Comfortable hiking shoes are recommended throughout, with ramps and grassy slopes near the watchtower and lighthouse for easy walking and photography. 2. You can leave earlier to avoid the crowds of tourists, especially the Sydney Harbor Bridge and Palm Beach are more crowded on weekends. 3. Pay attention to local opening hours and public transport schedules, bus services are sometimes reduced during Australian holidays, check Trip.com transportation information in advance. Transportation guide From the city to Wollongong: You can take the train (Sydney Central Station - Wollongong Station, about 1.5 hours), and you can use Uber or bus to get to the lighthouse after exiting Wollongong Station. Palm Beach: It is recommended to drive or take the B-Line bus in the city (about 1.5 hours to the north coast), get off and walk to the beach. Food recommendations - The Boathouse Palm Beach: Focuses on brunch, seafood and desserts - There are several local cafés in Wollongong city center, where you can choose from local scrambled egg breakfast or cream cake - The Rocks area near Dawes Point has a number of Australian fusion restaurants, recommend trying local craft beer and burgers #SydneyTravel #WollongongLighthouse #SeaviewConfidential Must-See #Australia Photo #Sydney Day Trip
