Sydney offers plenty of historical and contemporary Australian flavor. The marvelous Sydney Opera House looks like a great origami sailboat, floating peacefully in a harbor. Wander the narrow cobblestone streets of The Rocks and then take in a street performance on the Circular Quay before heading into the Museum of Contemporary Art. The views from the Sydney Tower Eye observatory are epic – use this chance to get to know the layout of the city from high above.

December to February is summer; March to May is autumn; June to August is winter; and September to November is spring. The climate of Sydney is humid subtropical shifting from mild and cool in winter to warm and hot in the summer. There are no extreme seasonal differences as the weather is moderated by proximity to the ocean, but there are more contrasting temperatures recorded in the inland western suburbs.

Precipitation varies across the region, with areas adjacent to the coast being the wettest. The city receives around 20 thunderstorms per year.
