Australia travel tips

Tourist season in Australia lasts all year round; it all depends on the purpose of your trip. In June and July – the local winter – you can go skiing. January and February are characterised by dry heat with temperatures of +40°C, favouring beach holidays. The autumn and spring months are best suited for exploring the country, with comfortable temperatures around +20°C and a low probability of precipitation.  

You can travel around the country by local transport and renting a car, but you need to take care of your international licence in advance.

What can you see in Australia in the first place?

What can you see in Australia in the first place
You will most likely get to Sydney, where most tourists fly, so this city’s location will be the first on the list. But the sights of Australia’s capital, Canberra, are not exceptionally diverse; it’s enough to see them on a passing journey.

Port Jackson and the Harbour Bridge

Harbour Bridge
Sydney’s water gateway and the largest bay in the world, part of Sydney Harbour National Park. The best way to explore the city is from the deck of a pleasure boat cruising Sydney Harbour. En route, check out Australia’s famous and much-loved Harbour Bridge. The graceful metal arch structure has connected the bay’s shores since 1932.

Sydney Opera House

Sydney Opera House

Its second name is the Opera House. Along with the kangaroo, it is a valid symbol of the state. Its famous design looks simultaneously like a seashell, lotus petals and sails. But, the theatre’s architect, Jörn Utzon, was inspired by an ordinary orange – when the master was peeling the fruit, he realised that the triangular shape of its peel was perfect for creating the Opera House. Today, around two million people attend concerts here a year, and more than ten million tourists come to see the famous building.

Sydney Fish Market

Sydney Fish Market

The third-largest fish market in the world. Here, you can not only look at the inhabitants of coastal waters, caught a couple of hours ago, but also buy local delicacies and visit numerous cafes and sushi bars, where they are prepared ‘without leaving the cash register’.

Sydney TV Tower

Sydney TV Tower
The city’s highest point, a television and radio tower, is one of Australia’s biggest attractions. Here, tourists can access great views of Sydney and the ocean and lunch in a revolving restaurant. From one of the observation decks at a height of 268 metres, the city can be seen directly through the glass floor.

The Rocks neighbourhood

The Rocks neighbourhood
Sydney’s oldest neighbourhood, where nineteenth-century buildings have been preserved. Back then, it was inhabited mainly by sailors and outlaws. Today, it is a favourite among tourists and is home to several cafes, shops and shops.

Queen Victoria House

A late 19th-century building in the centre of Sydney, erected for the reigning queen’s birthday. The exquisite European-style design with copper domes, tall windows and stained-glass windows stands out from the city’s built environment. It is an extensive shopping and office centre with boutiques and cafes today. In the middle of the lobby stands an antique clock with a calendar and dome.

Australian National Maritime Museum

A modern museum in Darling Harbour displays the world’s most extensive collection of floating vessels and tells the story of Australia’s exploration and development. There are Aboriginal artefacts, ancient and modern devices for fishing and shellfishing, sea travel and water-based entertainment, and a maritime defence gallery. The museum will also be of interest to children.

Australian Museum

A trendy Australian museum with around 18 million exhibits from anthropology, zoology, palaeontology, numismatics and more. They tell the history and culture of the continent and the neighbouring islands of Oceania.

Mona Underground Museum of Avant-Garde Painting in Hobart

Those travelling to Australia for something as unusual as possible will not miss the museum in Hobart. It’s a private project located below sea level where visitors are surprised and often outraged by paintings, installations, galleries and cages. The museum has shops, cafes and a local alcohol tasting room.
