🐚 Sydney: Opera House & Harbour Bridge

The sail-like silhouette of the Opera House and the arch of the Harbour Bridge are Australia’s calling card. Stroll the waterfront, explore The Rocks, and climb the bridge’s lookout for sweeping views of the bay. At sunset the water turns gold, yachts glide by, and the skyline lights up like a song.
