Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Sod it we're retired.

  1. Booking is recommended for the guided tour at the National Assembly as walk-ons depend on capacity.

  2. If you are in a wheelchair, do not stay at the Manoir Victoria Hotel due to the lack of elevators.

  3. Book boat trips for the fjord in advance as they are often pre-booked and limited.

  4. If you want to see the inside of the local church, visit in the morning as they may be locking up by the afternoon.

  5. The hop-on hop-off bus is a reasonable alternative if excursions are unavailable, but be prepared for uncomfortable seating.

  6. If you want to hike the trails at the nature center, ensure you have more than a brief stop as there might not be enough time.

  7. The dining at the catch by Rudy's is fantastic, but be prepared for noise if seated near the atrium.

  8. Take time to explore the downtown Sydney area for historic buildings and parks.
