This iconic landmark is definitely a must-go attraction when you are visiting the city of Sydney. Even if you are not so much of a culture vulture, it is still an extraordinary experience to sit on the steps and admire Danish architect Jørn Utzon’s unique design of this building, as well as the sails in the background. The Sydney Opera House is not just famous for its majestic exterior, but also boasts multiple venues within that host above 1,500 performances with more than 1.2 million attendees per year. It is no wonder that Sydney Opera House became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007.

The Sydney Opera House is certainly the place to explore, whether you have the entire day or even just a few minutes to spare. A few minutes will leave you with time to sit at the steps to admire the breathtaking view of the sails in the background and maybe take a leisurely stroll down the Western Broadwalk. Should you have more time on your hands, sign up for a Sydney Opera House tour to have an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience of the happenings at the Sydney Opera House or perhaps even catch a show and a meal at one of their harbourside restaurants with gorgeous waterfront views.
