Sydney Opera House

There are many ways to get around Sydney. The problem is that all the public transport in this city, like buses, trains, the metro rail and ferries, are very expensive. But don’t worry, if you purchase the “Opal card” or use a contactless credit card, this would no longer be a problem for you. You can use trains or ferries to get to the Sydney Opera House. You just need to plan your route, and for that you can use “Trip Planner”


When you finally make it to the Sydney Opera House either by train or ferry, you’ll need to purchase tickets to get in. For example, if a family of five wants to go in, they would have to purchase arround 48$ for an adult and 28$ for a child, and that only if you pre-book it. Just to get in would be 180$! To save some money you could pre-book the family ticket which is 124$.


The Sydney Opera House was designed by a Danish architect called Jørn Utzon. This site opened its doors for the first time in 1973, and when it did a new era of cultural discovery began. Five decades later, the Sydney Opera House is the most visited site in the country.


The Sydney Opera House was included in the UNESCO

World Heritage List on the 29th of June 2007, in recognition of its outstanding architectural and cultural significance.


Finally, if you have a membership of the Sydney Opera House you’ll be able to save some money on things like tickets, food, tours, and the gift shop. The only thing that a membership does not pay is less for parking.

Blogging arround Sydney

I’ve always loved to travel. I’ve been to places like the US, Great Britain, Italy, France and more. But for some reason Sydney has never been on my travel list, until it was. Putting Sydney in my visiting list was the best thing I could have done. After some research I came across a bunch of interesting things to see. What I would like to visit first would be the Sydney Opera House. I’ve always been a music lover, and I’m fascinated with this monument, that’s why I would go there first. The thing that impressed me the most was the Port of Sydney which includes a very big bridge, from where you can see all the city. I have never been to Australia, that is why I‘m so excited to visit it at once. One of my closest friends has been to Sydney and she said she really enjoyed it, that’s another reason why I can’t wait to go! To sum up, I would love to visit Sydney at least once in my life. I think it’s an amazing city with a lot of culture and beautiful sites to visit.

Queen Victoria Building

The QVB or the Queen Victoria Building is a grand shopping center located in the heart of Sydney, Australia. It originally was a market hall, but in the 1980s it was rostered and converted into a luxury shopping center, but still preserving its historic charm. There is a large amount of shops at the Queen Victoria Building. Only the ground floor has 58 stores in it! But the store that caught my attention the most was Jimmy Choo . This store is famous because of the large variety of shoes it has, but mostly heels, heels are the famous thing in this store.  The thing that impressed me the most about this store was the prices of the heels. The average price for a pair of heels is 1030€! In many movies, the main actress might wear Jimmy Choo shoes. Try to watch carefully and see if you can spot them. For example, in Sex and the City, Carrie Bradshaw often wears Jimmy Choos, and they look very nice, until you remember the price!

Sydney Tower

  A number of interesting parts can be found on the website of the Sydney Tower. The SKYWALK part of the Sydney Tower website is definitely one of the most interesting it shows how one can climb up on a glass platform and be outside while having a 360 degree view of the city. I personally think that the SKYWALK portion of the website looks extremely entertaining and could prove to be the type of experience that very few people will experience before. Being able to walk up high above the streets while experiencing the wind on your face while looking at and being able to view the city below you is a completely different than looking out the window of a building. There are also many other sections on the Sydney Tower's website including the Observation Deck and Ticketing sections. The sections about the Observation Deck and Ticketing are useful to visitors so they can plan their visits to the Sydney Tower, and inform them of the types of experiences available to them while they are vi...
