Sydney is the largest city in Australia and is visited by several million tourists every year. The metropolis on the east coast of the country has been the economic and cultural center of Australia for several years.

We have summarized the 10 most popular Instagram spots in the city for you below:

The Sydney Opera House is the landmark of the Australian metropolis.  Due to the special architecture and the location directly on the water, it is one of the most popular photo motifs of the city. The opera house has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2007.

Tip: Since the opera house is also a real architectural highlight and one of the world’s most famous opera houses, we recommend taking a tour of the interior. In the evening hours, the eye-catching roof is illuminated.
