"If so, what better way to do it than to visit the Skywalk at the Sydney Tower Eye, an extremely high outdoor structure where you can casually stroll around outside of the tower and get a 360-degree bird’s eye view of the gorgeous city. But if that’s too much for you, just head over to the observation deck and appreciate the breathtaking view of the city on a sunny day. You can also take advantage of a bundled package tour of the Sydney Tower Eye Observation Deck and Skywalk and a 24-hour hop on, hop off Sydney Harbour Cruise with Captain Cook Cruises."

"One of Sydney’s standout symbols and sights, St. Mary’s Cathedral can be found in between Hyde Park and The Domain. Set just a short stroll from the center, it exhibits some exquisite architecture with two twin spires rising up above a fetching neo-Gothic facade. Built between 1866 and 1928, it is modeled on both Lincoln Cathedral in the UK and Notre-Dame in Paris with gorgeous rose windows lying alongside elegant arches, transepts and flying buttresses."
