When a weekend in Sydney is certainly not enough time, but it’s better than not being here at all; this is my weekend in Sydney, Australia.
Experiencing a weekend in Sydney, Australia, is like taking an express train to paradise. Three days of sheer pleasure- filled with delicious food and drinks, plenty of exploring for my camera’s delight, and moments spent in awe surrounded by the city’s world-renowned attractions – made me feel instantly in love!
Though I didn’t have much time to discover all this incredible place has to offer, leaving was as bittersweet as realizing that one can never fully capture its beauty in words or pictures. But no worries… next time will be longer – worth it because Sydney belongs on top of any worldwide cities list!

A Weekend Getaway in Sydney
In a flash, my three-night whirlwind adventure in Sydney ended – but not before I fell head over heels for the vibrant metropolis!
From eating delicious food that left me walking out of restaurants and having unforgettable night outs fueled by booze to admiring all its remarkable attractions through a camera lens, this Australian gem won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
Three days wasn’t enough for sure – what’s better than one visit is two visits…but if you can only make it once, then don’t forget your stretchy pants and fast shutter speed!
Why was in Sydney
As a South Korean teacher from Western Australia, I jumped at the chance to join a posse of language instructors on an all-expenses paid trip – talk about having your cake and eating it! We were flown over in style and treated like royalty with 5-star accommodation and exquisite cuisine…all while attending top-notch educational conferences.
Who would have thought that learning could be so luxurious? Still, no doubt we managed to “lift our game”, shall we say.
Where did I stay in Amazing Sydney?
I had the luxurious opportunity to stay in two outstanding hotels, Park Royal and Radisson Blu, at Darling Harbour.
Conference expenses footed my room bill for one. At the same time, I used personal funds for a getaway night’s stay at Radisson Blu with its four-star accommodations – plush rooms complete with cozy beds, breathtaking views of Sydney Harbor and delectable dining options from their restaurant/bar downstairs!
Park Royal Sydney: Park Royal Sydney is the ideal getaway for a vacation of luxury and relaxation. Enjoy beautiful views from their four-star rooms featuring comfortable beds and tantalizing cuisine at the restaurant & bar – all conveniently located near Darling Harbour!

Conference Fine Dining: I was lucky enough to dine in absolute luxury at Sydney University’s conference room! Not only did they get private caterers to serve up some mouthwatering cuisine – think succulent snapper and delectable Chocolate Mousse – but the wine flowed freely all night. It made for an unforgettable experience!
