Sydney
Sandy beaches and the world on a plate
Take flights to Sydney for harbour sailing, waterfront dining and sunset walks on sandy beaches.
Things to do
Sydney Harbour Bridge arches over the water in an Art Deco curve, from The Rocks to Luna Park’s neon smile. Take flights to Sydney and follow the walkway across the bridge for soaring views of the Opera House as ferries zig-zag across the harbour below.
Shopping
Travel back in time at Sydney’s Queen Victoria Building, a galleried 19th-century shopping mall with mosaics, sculptures, stained glass and domes. Souvenir shops sell outback Akubra hats and opal jewellery to take home as mementoes of your Sydney holiday.
Restaurants
Taste the fresh flavours of Modern Australian cuisine on a Sydney city break, at a water’s-edge restaurant suspended over Sydney Harbour. Menus highlight superb local produce like wagyu beef and lobster, with home-grown chardonnay or sauvignon blanc the ideal accompaniment.
Nightlife
Laid-back lounge music sets the mood at Sydney’s candlelit patio bars, and rooftop awnings reveal the Southern Hemisphere’s star-spangled night sky. Mingle at the bar with Sydney’s friendly locals to order an icy glass of pale ale or lager.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Sydney. Book a Sydney flight in January to watch events at the Sydney Festival or travel in October during the Sydney International Food Festival.
