Christmas in Sydney

Sydney

 

Sydney, the most talked about city in Australia — the heritage buildings, the Sydney harbour bridge to the Opera house, ferries that take you almost anywhere you want to go, let alone the history that this city breathes is truly heartwarming. This city has Christmas down pat and I am just dying to show you what it has to offer.

Whether you like walking on the local neighbourhood streets in the suburbs and checking out the lights or venturing into the city to embrace the vibe, Sydney has you covered. So let's take a peek and look at the top things to do amongst the city lights. 

 

  1. Christmas in the burbs – Do your research and find the best lights this Christmas close to you or make a special trip out to wander some of the glorious lights. These light displays are truly amazing and sing Christmas, not to mention those extra special houses that have Santa, candy and even refreshments.
