While Sydney Australia is renowned for its scenic beauty during the day there is much to do and see at night. Sydney’s Centerpoint tower is a great place to start the evening with a meal in its revolving restaurant that has gives the visitor a breathtaking look over the city and harbor from all angles. Or if you prefer you can just enjoy a drink in one of the bars while you take it all in.
There are lots of interesting place to see at night in and around the Sydney CDB, and all are within easy traveling distance from one another. From Centerpoint Tower you can see all of Sydney & inner suburbs. A short walk away is Circular Quay with the famous Sydney Opera House on one side and the Sydney harbour Bridge on the other. Across the harbour are the bright lights of Lunar Park where those looking for an adrenalin boost can try some of the rides.
Around the corner from Circular Quay is the Rock area which is the old part of Sydney town with cobbled stone lanes and plenty of pubs and restaurants. A short walk up from the Rocks brings you to the Sydney Observatory at Watson Road, Observatory Hill the Rocks that are experiencing its 150th birthday in June 2008.
Built in 1858, Sydney Observatory is Australia’s oldest observatory and the perfect place for visitors from the northern hemisphere to view the southern skies. Visitors can experience lectures, a virtual reality 3-D space theatre and nightly viewings through telescopes of the moon, the planets and some of features of the southern sky. If you have children in tow there are ghost tours to keep them quiet for an hour or two.
After visiting the observatory it’s a nice walk back around to the quay where you can catch a Sydney ferry around to Darling Harbor. The ferry trip alone is well worth it and when you arrive at Darling harbor there is an array of activities there chose from that include more restaurants, more bars, cinemas, Imax Theatre, convention centers and a monorail to take you all around the harbor site.
One little know attraction at night is Sydney’s Centennial Park where Rangers take night tours of the park showing visitors this unique place and the nocturnal animals that can be found there. Centennial Park is also very close to Paddington and Oxford Street and for those without children this is a great part of Sydney for night clubs and up-market pubs.
For sporting fans just down the road from Paddington is Moore Park where there are two major sporting stadiums, The Sydney Cricket Ground and Aussie stadium that host Rugby league and soccer. Next to the stadiums is the Entertainment Quarter that backs on to Fox Studios and is a popular place for more restaurants, bars and cinemas.
