The fastest way to get your trip started is with a cheap car rental at Sydney airport. While you are in your car, you can drive your rental across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, one of the city's most cherished and famous landmarks, not to mention the main access point into North Sydney. Make sure to stop by the Sydney Opera House, also a world-famous attraction and breathtaking in its beauty and design.

Sydney is also home to Marramarra National Park for those visitors who want to experience more than just the urban jungle. It is a great place to take a nature hike with the family or sightsee en route to experiencing the many other parts of the city and surrounding area.

The Sydney Aquarium—perhaps the city's most tourist-heavy establishment—is another must-see attraction that will be well worth your time. View all the native fish and aquatic life up close by travelling through over 160 metres of underwater tunnels. A great educational family trip and one that is sure to please even a casual interest in wildlife.
