Why Go?

No other city so seamlessly blends sophistication with a laid-back devotion to the good life

You can do laps in the shadow of an iconic bridge, watch whales frolic in the harbor, and dip a toe in the Pacific Ocean

The world-class dining scene is ever-evolving: Expect everything from nouveau Vietnamese to French/Japanese fusion

What To Skip

Darling Harbour is kind of hokey, and not worth lingering over, especially given that the real harbor is right nearby

What For:

Beach + Island Family Restaurant

When To Go:

January October November December
