New walks available to Sydney tourists

Tourists will now be able to take dedicated trips around the coast of Sydney.

Sydney is known as one of the most picturesque cities in the world, with stunning urban landmarks such as the Opera House and Harbour Bridge instantly recognisable.

However, the capital of New South Wales is also set among some beautiful countryside and people catching flights to Sydney in the coming months will have the opportunity to explore the coasts and hills.

Sydney Coast Walks, formerly known as Royal Coast Walks, has expanded its walking tour options to include a number of dedicated coastal trips.

Founder Ian Wells said: “Most people don’t realise there are walking trails all around Sydney’s harbourfront. It’s the best way to experience the city’s natural beauty and a big surprise that it’s so close to the city centre.”

New options include the South Head tour around Watsons Bay and the Spit to Manly, which incorporates the Scenic Walkway.

Tourists can also explore the Blue Mountains, which are not far from the outskirts of Sydney.
