Things to do in Sydney, New South Wales: The Best Architectural Buildings
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.

We have been travelling around in Australia for 9 weeks with friends from Austria and Switzerland. Today we visited the Sydney Opera House at 11:15am. The guides name was Bella. Lovely energetic young lady! It was the BEST, and only tour in the entire of Australia that my friends understood every word of the places she took us to today. Wonderful and very articulate when she speaks. Clear concise and entertaining. It was exactly one hour tour with fantastic stories, great photo opportunities, brilliant setup of lights for the illusionist and the “bumping out” and maintenance of the Joan Sutherland Theatre! Finally tour concluding with a happy ending in the Utzon Room. The building truly is remarkable inside and out with fantastic people working. Must see for all. We are glad we did this and took our friends here today! Do the tour!

Visit for the beautiful architecture, stay for the shops. Window shop through the atrium's five levels for high fashion brands, enjoy coffee at the cafes, and listen to the Royal Clock strike.

The Anzac Memorial, in Sydney's Hyde Park, is NSW's principal memorial to all Australians who have served in the Defence Force. The Memorial building in both its original and its extended form is a work of art and remarkable piece of architecture. It is a physical expression of the spirit and legend of the Anzacs and a place of comfort for those who have lost loved ones. Exhibition and interpretation spaces allow the Anzac Memorial to illustrate the evolution of Australian military service while focusing on NSW stories. The detailed storytelling within the new Exhibition Gallery complements the quiet spaces and symbols of the original Memorial building. A free virtual tour of the '1945: From Hot War to Cold War' exhibition can be taken by visitors, accessed via the Anzac Memorial's website. The Anzac Memorial has limited opening hours at present, please visit the website for further details. Admission to the Memorial is free.

Visited on Sunday 10th November. It is situated in Hyde Park and a must see when you visit Sydney to honour those who gave their lives for us during the two World Wars.

Funny, we have often walked down Grosvenor Street and yet we never noticed St. Patrick's. That was our loss. A beautiful 1840s built church which is well worth a visit - whether you are religious or not. The Altar, windows, statues, especially that of St. Patrick are beautiful. We will pay another visit, as when we visited this time preparations were made for mass and we did not want to impose by wandering around.
9. UTS Dr Chau Chak Wing Building (CB08)

Reviewed By RonWamberal - Sydney, Australia
Different from Bilbao and other Gehry buildings I have seen but that’s what makes them interesting. All unique but at the same time, all distinctive, you’d certainly say it was a Gehry design, but it definitely adds an allure to the UTS campus that otherwise you would describe as boring. An easy walk from either Central Railway, Chinatown or Darliing Harbour but while you are here, have a look at the Goods Line. Described by many as a brown paper bag, it is certainly a building that stands out in the area.

Such a great massive colorful vertical wall of many different plants. Pictures don't do justice to this place.
