Sydney Travel: VIEW Sydney Landmarks Photo Gallery
Sydney travel and sightseeing go hand in hand and need a bit of planning, especially within the constraints of time.
If you're a first-time Sydney travel visitor, sightseeing can be quite frustrating. Finding out exactly where to go in only a day or two and how to find places in an orderly and logical manner can be worrying.

If you have limited time to spend around the city on your Sydney travel — but want to see the sights, feel the throb of early history, partake a bit of the cultural life, dine, and check out the nightlife — here's one Sydney travel and sightseeing guide:
Begin with history — at The Rocks district in Sydney Cove where white men first established a settlement in 1788.
Feel the past
Here, where buildings exhude an air of the past, you find specialist shops, open-air markets, colonial-style restaurants, street entertainment.
This is a place where you must travel on foot, in and out of the streets and into the many alleyways where different places wait quietly to be discovered.
From The Rocks, Sydney sightseeing should then take you to Circular Quay, passing by the Museum of Contemporary Art where you can view celebrations of the Aboriginal spirit and the newer arts of today.
