It doesn’t matter how extensively you have traveled, or what amazing cities have been along your international path. You’ll agree once you see it: Sydney is a star.
Just the harbor alone is breathtaking. Shimmering waters; more than 150 miles of coastline, coves, and inlets; and the Emerald City of 5.5 million people are laid out along it. So come play, swim, eat, and drink. Even if you only have a single day, you can still do it all in Australia’s largest metropolis.
Arrival
The Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD) is the busiest airport in Oceania, and one of the oldest in the world. Planes have been taking off and landing at this spot next to Botany Bay since 1911. Today, its three runways receive nonstop flights from around the world, including those of national flag carrier Qantas, an acronym for Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services.
