							Sydney, Australia has one of the most iconic skylines in the entire world. It is a city of
splendid architectural accomplishments, including the Harbour Bridge and the Sydney
Opera House on Darling Harbour. If you are an architectural lover and are looking for
a great place to spend your holiday, then you should book a room in one of the many
beautiful Sydney hotels. While staying in one of the fine hotels, here are the most
spectacular sights not to miss on your holiday.
  The wonderful Sydney Harbour is by far one of the most beautiful sights you will
ever witness. This world landmark has over 240km of shoreline to explore. It is filled
with massive parks, gorgeous reserves and spectacular gardens. The harbour is a
wonder on a sunny day, presenting a gorgeous picture of dazzling blue dotted with
colourful sailing boats, large cruise vessels and picturesque ferries.
  As mentioned previously, Sydney Harbour is home to the Sydney Opera House. This
is one of the most recognizable buildings in the world, every bit as recognizable as
landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Although this
building is very young at only 40 years-old, the Sydney Opera House is easily the
most famous sight in Australia. The opera house was built from a design by the
famous Danish architect, Jorn Utzon. Its roof is designed to mimic the sails of a
mighty ship, and it extends out onto the harbour. The Sydney Opera House has won a
number of awards and recognitions. In 2005 it was placed on the Australia National
Heritage List. It was then added in 2007 to the World Heritage List.
  The Sydney Harbour Bridge was built in 1932. It was built from a design by Sir
Ralph Freeman. It is the largest steel arch bridge in the world, attaining a height of
134m at its tallest point. It is known by the residents of Sydney as the 鈥淐 oathanger.
鈥?One of the most unique features of this bridge is that it is permissible for people to
obtain permits to climb the bridge, even at night.
  In addition to these two landmarks, Sydney offers visitors over 130 skyscrapers to
admire. There is also a beautiful gothic cathedral, St. Mary 鈥檚. As you can see, there
is a lot to admire in the architecture that Sydney has to offer its visitors. Book a
holiday in one of the many fabulous Sydney hotels, and experience it for yourself.
