Christmas in Sydney

Sydney

 

Sydney, the most talked about city in Australia — the heritage buildings, the Sydney harbour bridge to the Opera house, ferries that take you almost anywhere you want to go, let alone the history that this city breathes is truly heartwarming. This city has Christmas down pat and I am just dying to show you what it has to offer.

Whether you like walking on the local neighbourhood streets in the suburbs and checking out the lights or venturing into the city to embrace the vibe, Sydney has you covered. So let's take a peek and look at the top things to do amongst the city lights. 

 

  1. Christmas in the burbs – Do your research and find the best lights this Christmas close to you or make a special trip out to wander some of the glorious lights. These light displays are truly amazing and sing Christmas, not to mention those extra special houses that have Santa, candy and even refreshments.

  2. Woolworths Carols in the Domain – A once-in-a-lifetime experience that you have to tick off the bucket list. Seeing the stars sing, dance and entertain is an epic experience that the kids and you will remember for years to come. 
  3. Sydney Christmas Fair – Located in Moore Park this is a fantastic and family-friendly fair that will bring laughter and joy to the whole crew. It features carnival rides, water activities, an outdoor cinema, Santa photos and an epic gingerbread party house.

  5. Epic Christmas Trees – The festivities are of no expense spared in Sydney so to name just a few to tick off the list would be… The Rocks Christmas tree, Martin Place Christmas tree features a huge 3.4m overly decorated tree that will take your breath away. Also, one to see is the epic QVB Christmas tree that measures 24 meters tall and sparkles and shines with sparkling Swarovski crystals and proudly takes the crown for the largest indoor tree in the Southern Hemisphere. With over 100,000crystal ornaments and over 60,000 lights, this is definitely one to grab and coffee, go to a shop and marvel at this truly spectacular tree.
