Below are some of the best places to visit on a holiday in NSW

Sydney

As the capital city of NSW and the most populous city in Australia, Sydney is brimming with things to see and do. Situated on one of the world’s largest natural harbours, Sydney is home to some of Australia’s most iconic landmarks including the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. There are endless cafes serving up delicious coffees and healthy brunch options, as well as restaurants offering mouth-watering cuisine from all over the world. And when night falls, there are plenty of bars and clubs to keep you entertained until the early hours of the morning

Blue Mountains

This rugged region west of Sydney is home to the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains National Park, where majestic mountain tops, magnificent sandstone cliffs and lush valleys await. Not to be missed is the Three Sisters landmark - one of the Blue Mountain's most iconic features. What makes this area so special is that there is something for everyone no matter your interests. Whether you prefer exploring on foot, riding a bike on winding trails or wishing you could fly across canyons like an eagle, the Blue Mountains provides it all and more.

Hunter Valley

The Hunter Valley region of New South Wales is an absolute paradise for wine enthusiasts and outdoorsy types alike! Located just over two hours away from Sydney, the Hunter Valley offers some of the most wonderful landscapes, with rolling hills and lush vineyards stretched out as far as the eye can see. A trip here would not be complete without sampling some of NSW's finest wines and venturing out to explore all that the Hunter Valley has to offer. Whether it's hot air ballooning up above for a birds-eye view or getting behind the wheel of a quad bike for a thrilling adventure on its trails, Hunter Valley has something for everyone!.

Byron Bay

Byron Bay is a surfing paradise and is popular with travellers from around the world. With its striking, golden beaches, Byron Bay is the ideal spot to soak up the sun and the sense of community that comes with it.
