Looking for cheap flights to Sydney from Canada? You’ve come to the right place!
Hip, trendy and with loads to do for both couples and families alike, Sydney really is the jewel in Australia's crown. Thanks to the iconic Sydney Opera House, awesome Sydney Harbour Bridge, beautiful rivers and enticing sands of Bondi Beach, you’re sure to be craving just one more day here. But beyond its vibrant exterior, Sydney has a diverse cultural history, and a love of the arts and sporting events. Warm in the winter and very hot in the summer, Sydney makes for a fantastic vacation at any time of year which means it’s constantly busy and thriving.
Start off by learning more about Australia’s convict history on the old cobble streets known as “The Rocks”, near the Sydney Harbour Bridge. This is where Britain began its colony in the 18th-century, having shipped over large numbers of incarcerated men to work in and grow the Australian economy. Not only is this an exceptionally pretty part of Sydney, it’s also the perfect place for a quiet drink in one of the picturesque pubs, hotels and courtyards. There are plenty of theatres and outdoor markets located here too.
After having a brief rest, why not take a ferry ride on Sydney Harbour and marvel at the stunning scenery, or visit one of the amazing national parks where locals and tourists come together. All that’s needed is a map, some sturdy shoes, and your bus, train or ferry fare (you can get an Opal smartcard ticket to cover all of them) and Sydney is yours for the taking!
Finally, head towards the eastern side of Darling Harbour to look out at the yachts bobbing in the water, then finish off with a cheeky visit to the Star City Casino, the Sydney Fish Market and the fantastic Powerhouse Museum.
Whether you’re wanting to take your family on the trip of a lifetime, or you’re looking for the perfect couples holiday to remember, why not browse our full range of flights to Sydney now, including first class and business class flights too.
