The Best Time to Visit Sydney - Summer?
The Australian summer begins on December 1. And visiting Sydney at this time really depends on what you want to see, do and experience.
The Sydney summer is a time of great cultural activity — outstanding theatre, street performances, art exhibitions — as well as a time of pilgrimage to Sydney's beaches.
There's Christmas, Boxing Day, the grueling Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race which starts at Sydney Harbour on Boxing Day, the Sydney Festival in January, that Great Ferry Race on Australia Day, and the Mardi Gras soon after.
