Top tips for Istanbul to Sydney

Browse the shops in the Queen Victoria Building

If you enjoy wandering Istanbul’s colourful Grand Bazaar, Sydney’s magnificent Queen Victoria Building is a perfect place for some retail therapy. This incredible destination is a 19th-century heritage-listed shopping centre, occupying an entire block on George Street.

Step inside the prestigious building and admire the intricate architecture, stunning stained-glass windows and browse over 180 shops and boutiques. Afterwards, stop for a bite to eat at one of the inviting restaurants.

Climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge

Istanbul’s Bosphorus Bridge may be famous for connecting Europe and Asia, but, unlike the Sydney Harbour Bridge, pedestrians are very rarely allowed on it.

The best way to experience one of Sydney’s most iconic attractions is by doing the sensational BridgeClimb. There are four different climbs to choose between, all of which giving you unrivalled views of the surrounding harbour.
