Christmas

in Sydney

Christmas time in Sydney is certainly different, as it falls during the Australian summer, why not forget the snow and sleet and celebrate in glorious sunshine, make the most of the sun on Bondi beach where the city and sea meet. This is the optimum time to visit Sydney, as it is holiday time for many Australians and also sees an influx of international visitors to celebrate Christmas and New Years Eve in one of the worlds most beautiful cities. There is so much happening throughout the city the line-up is staggering. Traditional turkey and ham makes way for scrumptious seafood platters and barbeques. Carols sung on the beach and in parks, sun bathing, water activities, amazing fireworks displays, concerts, theatre, opera and the Sydney Christmas parade are just a snippet of why Sydney has become such an extraordinary place to visit during December and January.
