Sydney (10)

When visiting Sydney the temptation is to stay in the Rocks (the district the world thinks of as Sydney). Don't, it's a tourist trap. Instead, consider Kings Cross or Darlinghurst. These districts are the heart of Sydney. Not as pretty but much more fun.

Use the Sydney Harbour - Manly ferry (a commuter route) as a means of seeing the best of Sydney harbour and north shore. It's much cheaper than the tourist trips and lasts longer!

From experience, the best thing to help me feel fresh after a long-haul flight is to get a nice hot shower. I would recommend that people make use of airline's increasingly common arrival lounges, particularly if you are in a connection and have nothing else to do. Have a shower and you will be ready for the rest of your flight!

Great view. If you're from out of town, you can sign in as a guest downstairs for free.
