Darling Harbour stretches from Paddy's Markets and the Sydney Entertainment Centre in the south to King Street Wharf and the Maritime Museum in the north. Home to the Australian National Maritime Museum, Sydney Aquarium, IMAX Theatre and Powerhouse Museum, it offers some of the finest museums and attractions in Australia.

Towering 250 metres above ground level, the fully-enclosed viewing platform of Sydney Tower features 360 degree views of the city. The floor also includes a small gift shop and a readout displaying data on the conditions of the tower (wind speed, direction and sway amplitude).

The Australian Museum has an international reputation in the fields of natural history and indigenous studies research, community programs and exhibitions. The Museum was established in 1827 and is Australia's first museum, with unique and extensive collections of natural science and cultural artefacts.

The refurbished Capitol Theatre offers the public a unique theatre experience, as the only atmospheric cinema in the country restored and fully developed to a major lyric theatre. As the oldest theatre building in New South Wales, The Capitol exterior features significant design and decoration dating from 1892 when it was the new Belmore market building.

Wrapped around Farm Cove at the edge of Sydney Harbour, the Royal Botanic Gardens occupy one of Sydney's most spectacular positions. Established in 1816, the gardens are the oldest scientific institution in the country and home to an outstanding collection of plants from Australia and overseas.

Circular Quay is a focal point for many community celebrations, for both its historic significance - as the birthplace of the Australian nation - and for its proximity to the iconic Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It is one of the main congregation points for the New Year's Eve and Australia Day fireworks displays.

As Sydney's most recognisable icon, the Sydney Opera House is home to outstanding art, created and presented by extraordinary artists from around the world. It is the primary venue for many of Australia's leading performing arts companies and recognised as one of the architectural wonders of the modern world.

Vibrant Cockle Bay Wharf is located on the eastern side of Cockle Bay in beautiful Darling Harbour. The cosmopolitan precinct includes restaurants, cafes, bars and nightclubs, along with a 3,000 square metre garden designed by the Royal Botanic Gardens and architect Eric Kuhle.

St Mary's Cathedral is the largest Roman Catholic Church in Australia (and reputedly the Southern Hemisphere). It is so large that Sydney shares the honour with New York and Melbourne of being home to the largest cathedrals of the 19th Century in the world.
