There are several places to visit in Australia and we rightly think a single trip might not be enough to see everything this majestic continent has to offer. From its sophisticated cities to its lush rainforests and pristine beaches, there is so much to see and admire here. Here’s a list of some of the must visit places in Australia.

Sydney’s iconic Opera House is the symbol that epitomises Australia and its many bounties. This world-class city is a preferred destination for international travellers all over the world and serves as an excellent introduction to Australia. For many people, this is one of the must visit places in Australia.

Apart from the opulent grandeur of the Opera House, visitors can also enjoy visiting the Sydney Olympic Park. This is the place where the 2000 Olympics were held. Another exciting thing to do here is climb to the top of the fantastic Sydney Harbour Bridge. Sydney has several top-notch dining destinations and award-winning restaurants. There are beautiful parks and gardens scattered all throughout the city, among which the Royal Botanic Garden stands out. Not too far from Sydney are the Blue Mountains, a magnificent and massive area of native bushland with some remarkable rock formations.

This bustling capital of Victoria is a metropolitan delight with its world-class restaurants, charming cafés and bars. A cultural centre, with its cobbled lanes and markets, Melbourne is also regarded as Australia’s sports capital and is certainly one of the more interesting places to visit in Australia. Australia’s oldest gallery, National Gallery of Victoria, founded in 1861, is right here in Melbourne featuring several local and international exhibitions and a whopping collection of more than 70,000 artworks. Musicals, jazz, theatre, movies – name it and you can enjoy it in Melbourne. Also, don’t miss out on tasting some of the excellent coffee here, as Melbourne is Australia’s de facto coffee capital.

Gold Coast is definitely one of the sunniest places to visit in Australia. This surfer’s paradise beckons the adventure junkies and the peace seekers with equal fervour. The beaches here are exceptional and the choices are aplenty – from Coolangatta and Currumbin to Main Beach or Burleigh Heads. You will certainly have fun no matter where you choose to hang out. If snorkelling and diving are your passions, then head to Wave Break Island near Main Beach and go gaga over the sheer number of brilliantly-coloured fish. Gold Coast is also known for its crazy theme parks like the Wet ‘n’ Wild water park or Dreamworld, Sea World or Warner Bros Movie World. Let go of your inhibitions and fears as you zoom around on the twisty rollercoasters.

Brisbane is one of those places to go in Australia if you’re seeking outdoor adventure. This capital city of Queensland is known for its lovely gardens, a sophisticated arts scene and some amazing restaurants. People however, come here and climb the Brisbane Story Bridge which offers some fantastic sights of the city. The journey up takes two hours while the journey down is considerably shorter if you choose to abseil back down the anchor pier.

If that sort of adrenaline rush is not for you, then head over to the Queensland Art Gallery which has an impressive collection of more than 17,000 works of art. Delicious food in restaurants will keep your palate entertained while the markets and designer boutiques will pamper you with the retail therapy.

There are several gorgeous islands around Brisbane such as Moreton Island or North Stradbroke Island where people come for its scenic and tranquil setting. Brisbane is also home to the Lamington National Park which features prominently on the World Heritage List.

If you’re on the lookout for a different sort of experience, one where you can get to see other, lesser-known cultures at play, then head out to Broome. It is certainly one of the most underrated places to see in Australia. Located in West Australia, there’s a tropical-island feel to this city. Its rich and colourful history make it one of the go-to destinations if you want to learn more about the Aborigines. Most people come to Broome to see the Cable Beach, the 22km expanse of sand embracing the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Broome is also renowned for its pearl boutiques and it’s an excellent place to purchase some of these beauties for yourself or someone special.

It would be extremely remiss if Adelaide did not feature in this list of places to visit in Australia. This South Australian city offers a unique Australian experience. People often check out the Central Market for the farm-fresh locally sourced produce and seafood, while Port Adelaide is a treat for history buffs. On foot, you can discover the many delights of Adelaide Laneways, a warehouse district that has been converted into the go-to place for bars and trendy eateries.

The beaches here are a big attraction that draws throngs of visitors, especially Semaphore with its gorgeous historic carousel that has handcrafted wooden horses. However, Adelaide is slowly gaining the moniker of Festival City, with its numerous entertainment festivals such as Adelaide Festival, WOMADelaide and Adelaide Fringe.

The places to see in Australia are far too many to fit in any single list. Nevertheless, if you’re planning to visit Australia, do make it a point to check out these spots. Before you make that crucial booking of your Australia Packages, do remember to check the SOTC website for offers which will certainly sweeten the deal.
