2 Day Sydney Itinerary – How To Make The Most Of It

With sun, sea, and a ton of fantastic attractions, Sydney is one of those places that everyone should visit once in a lifetime. A big and cosmopolitan city with a local feel, Sydney boasts picture-perfect views, natural beauty, great historical buildings, vibrant food and art scenes, and more beaches than the one you can visit in one single trip.

All considered, a 2 day Sydney itinerary is a lovely start to exploring this amazing Australian destination.

We visited Sydney as part of a larger trip to Australia and New Zealand. Seeing the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House and strolling around the famous Bondi Beach were absolute musts of our journey Down Under. Not one to waste any moments, we wanted to fit Sydney’s very best spots in the 2 days we stayed there – which was possible indeed!

Sydney is among the most popular destinations in Australia. This is not surprising since the city has it all – pleasant weather, stunning landmarks, mouth watering cuisines, beautiful beaches, and a jaw-dropping skyline. 

Our 2 day Sydney itinerary includes all the major tourist attractions, starting from the Sydney Opera House and ending at Bondi Beach. It goes without saying that the choice of what to see and do is entirely up to you. However, with a limited amount of time, you should stick with visiting Sydney’s most famous spots. For instance, you will see that from our itinerary, we skipped the Blue Mountains or a trip to see kangaroos and koalas. But with only 48 hours in Sydney, there’s just no way to fit all that in without sacrificing something. 

Similar to our other travel itineraries, such as the 5 day Maui itinerary and 10 days in Patagonia, in the present guide, you will find a daily activities breakdown, “What you need to know” boxes with useful details, restaurant and accommodation recommendations, a Sydney map, and FAQ to help you plan your trip.
