Sydney Entertainment, Excursions and Attractions
In Sydney there are many interesting places, some of which have already earned worldwide fame - for example, located in the heart of Sydney Opera House. Slightly inferior to her in prominence Harbor Bridge, the largest bridge in Side. Its length is 503 meters - only 15 meters less than the largest steel arch bridge in the world. On the bridge excursions are made, during which you can climb the side arch to the very top - from there you can see a beautiful view of the whole city.
The tallest building in all of Sydney (and the second tallest in the entire Southern Hemisphere) is the Sydney Tower. Its height is 305 meters and it, strangely enough, has nothing to do with television, inside it only restaurants, shops, places for rest and two observation platforms.
On the east side of Darling Harbor is the Sydney Aquarium. Unlike the tower and the bridge, it does not beat any world records either in size or in number of inhabitants, but, nevertheless, is also very interesting. It contains more than 650 species of fish and marine animals, only about 6000 individuals. And you can look at all this from underground tunnels surrounded by acrylic glass - the fish will float right above your head.
To look at other animals kept in captivity, it is possible in the huge zoo of Taronga Zoo, located on the north shore, in the Symbio park in Helensburg or in two special parks with koals and reptiles .If you are interested in the local fauna in a more natural habitat, then sometimes you do not even need to buy any tickets..Not far from Darling harbor, you can see whales, just walking around the city you can see bats (most of them are at sunset near Harbor Bridge and east of the opera house) and opossums (just look more often at the trees in the parks after dark) , and in some parks you can meet ibises, colorful colorful parrots and kangaroos . Well, if you decide to get acquainted with the Australian flora, it's best to do it in the Royal Botanical Gardens - it was built in 1816 and since then has grown to 30 hectares, where you can see more than 7,500 species of plants.
Another famous landmark is the Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary, one of the Australian national shrines and at the same time the most spacious church in the country.
