General Information on Sydney
Shopping
Sydney provides pleasure to shoppers with its range of shops. Shopping hours are normally 9 – 5.30 (with some staying open until 9pm) on Monday to Friday with late night trading on Thursday to 9pm. Most stores open until 5pm on Saturdays and most but not all operate on Sundays.
Shopping opportunities are abundant and include a mixture of shopping complexes, boutique stores and colourful markets, many of which are located along the foreshores of Sydney's famous beaches and harbour areas. Up-market shopping areas are around Pitt Street Mall, between Market Street and King Street, in The Strand and Queen Victoria Building near the Town Hall. Shopping is also found in Darling Harbour at Harbourside and Market City.
Culture, Dining and Attractions
Sydney is known for its harbour lifestyle, fantastic beaches and good weather - all contributing to a relaxed environment that permeates the city and its visitors.
The city's dining options are numerous - from an alfresco seafood lunch at Circular Quay to a three-course meal at Bondi Beach.
Sydney’s restaurant scene also reflects the city's cultural diversity, with inspiration from the finest Asian, European and Middle Eastern cuisines, combined with the freshest Australian ingredients, to create a gourmet paradise.
Under warm skies, the harbour is an everyday focus that can be enjoyed from the top of the famous Harbour Bridge or from a boat on the water.
Just west of Sydney lies the beautiful Blue Mountains, while to the north the Hunter Valley wine region beckons. Both regions are perfect for visitor day trips.
