Qantas offers direct and cheap airline tickets to Sydney from London, but considering it takes over 20 hours to fly there, you might be happy for a stopover and a chance to get some air and stretch your legs! Flights with one stopover also tend to be a lot cheaper than direct ones. Qantas also offers connecting flights from Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle and Manchester. As for British Airways, all cheap international Sydney flights have at least one stopover, usually in Asia (Singapore, Bangkok) before heading onwards to Australia.
Sydney has one main airport, Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD). It's also the busiest airport in Australia, so don't fret if there are delays. Because of the airport's proximity to the city, there are no flights operating past 11pm due to noise regulations.
When planning to book tickets from London to Sydney, take the seasons into serious consideration. They're backwards to what we're used to. That means that Christmas is in the middle of summer, December to February, which also happens to be the best time to visit if you want to enjoy the city's beach-side culture and test your surf skills. Winter falls between June and August, but temperatures stay around the 20 degree mark, still very enjoyable for city sightseeing.
Direct flights to Sydney from London will take 22h 15min. Most flights however have at least one stopover, which take at least 23h but sometimes much longer.
There's no argument. Sydney is the most exciting city in Australia. Who wouldn't want to spend their holidays in Sydney? It's king of culture, music, arts, surfing and beaches. It's the oldest and most cosmopolitan city on the continent, with a lot to discover.
The city is brimming with international culture as well, did you know 1/3 of Sydney's population comes from overseas (mostly from Scotland, Ireland and England)? If it's your first time visiting Sydney, then make sure you take in all the main sights.
Sydney Opera House: Famous far and wide, you might say that Jørn Utzon really hit the nail on the head when he designed this iconic structure. 2,400+ concerts and events are held here every year and tickets sell-out fast but visitors can often snag cheap partial-view tickets at the last minute. For tourists, there is a one-hour guided tour. Save money by booking the tour online.
Royal Botanic Gardens: Established in 1816, this is one of the most beautiful parks in the entire country. It started as a colony vegetable patch and now it's where locals go to admire the prettiest blooms of the season. Take a free guided walk from the Gardens Shop or just smell the roses on your own. Don't be afraid, no one will tell you to get off the grass here!
The Rocks: What is now a trendy neighbourhood is actually the site where the earliest settlers built their homes in Sydney. The narrow streets will lead you on a path to discover this city's history, not without some of the most stylish restaurants and cafes along the way though! Join a walking tour or if you're brave enough, a night-time ghost tour!
Outdoor activities: Sydney is an amazing city for outdoor activities. It's home to half a dozen beaches which are swimming-friendly, great for surfing and for jogging along. Bondi is the most famous, followed by Manly, Coogee and Wattamolla. The best place to cycle in the city is through Centennial Park and Bicentennial Park. There are bike trails shared with runners, walkers and joggers all along the waterfront.
Aboriginal culture: For a taste of the Aboriginal side of Sydney, it's recommended to go to the Royal National Park where you can find rock carvings and take an interpretive walk on Berry Island.

Sydney is a city that excites and this particular city's wealth of hotels is no exception. Reserve a regal room with bellhops or take it easy in a B&B that overlooks the water. Backpacker hostels, boutique hotels, inns... it's all here. The nicest (and most expensive) hotels in Sydney are without a doubt in The Rocks, most with harbour views and just steps away from all the major attractions. Kings Cross is the centre of Sydney's nightlife with plenty of budget hotels nearby to please backpackers and travellers looking for a raucous good time.
