Even when the sun goes down and takes with it the wonderful views, Sydney still retains much of its charm. With plenty of entertainment options, diverse dining opportunities and varied watering holes, there’s no slowing down for Sydney after dark.

Gaze at the stars at the Sydney Observatory
On occasion, the Sydney Observatory hosts night time tours for a $14 fee. Head to the observatory during after hours and view the stars and planets in dark night backdrop.
