The city is pretty well connected and any hotels Sydney you stay in give you easy access to visit all places in a short time.
However choosing hotels Sydney on the north shore has its own benefits. Apart from enjoying the beautiful beaches, some of Sydney's landmark attractions are in close proximity.
Hyde Park Barracks Museum – There is a piece of history and a story to tell in every inch of this building. Originally built in 1819 to imprison convicts, the impressive brick building with a walled compound has witnessed stay of female immigrants working of government agencies, housing of destitute women and finally renamed as Chancery Square when it was converted into hub of government departments. Sometime in the late 1970s Hyde Park Barracks was opened to the public as a museum saying a story about itself.
Taronga Zoo –From the little Regent Honeyeater and the Australian Little Penguin to the mighty African Lion and Asian elephants, you can see them all here. With convenient public transport connecting hotels Sydney to the zoo this is one family time you don't want to miss. And it is not just seeing animals in cages, there are many events like talks and encounters and Taronga dinners arranged here too.
Vaucluse House – Another piece of history you want to be a part of is the Vaucluse house. This Gothic revival style historic estate was built in the 19th century. Some of its notable features include the kitchen wing, outbuildings and stables apart from the multi-storey house itself. Spanning over 28 acres this mansion is now managed by the Historic Houses Trust of New South Wales.
The Rocks – A place where you will be intrigued fascinated and entertained all at the same time. Visitors traverse through history as they go down the narrow cobblestone streets and sandstone steps. The place was originally inhabited by the Gadigal people, and then European settlers came in 1788. Today the warehouses of the 19th century that have been made up into stylish bars and chic restaurants, museums and artisan markets provide free enjoyment to all the visitors. There is a range of free events and eclectic shopping to indulge in. Some of the things you want to do here after a restful night at the hotels Sydney are tour the Rocks Discovery Museum, explore ‘secrets of sandstone' during The Rocks Walking Tour, see the dark side of history with the Rocks Ghost Tour and after all the walking relax with an evening tour of Rocks Pubs where you can sample local brews to your heart's content.
