Sofitel Sydney Wentworth
Spring is a special time of year as the days lengthen and the capital begins to buzz again. Here are some ideas for the top 10 fun things to do in Sydney.

Until the end of October, special wine days at the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth commemorate the French harvesting season and art de vivre. These events combine elegance, gastronomy, handcrafted experiences and lavish tastings of Veuve Clicquot, Agnew, Casama and De Bortoli wines.
Sydney Opera House
The amazing architecture of the Opera House draws visitors from far and wide. Spring in Sydney 2017 sees daily Bennelong sail lightings at sunset and 7 pm, entitled Badu Gili (water light). These free shows explore ancient stories and are best viewed from the Monumental Steps.
Sydney Harbour Cruises
One of the best things to do in Sydney CBD, these forty-five-minute sailings enable you to see the unforgettable colours of tropical skies lit by the setting sun. Afterwards, Darling Harbour puts on fabulous fireworks displays on Saturday nights.
