8 Reasons to Visit Sydney in Winter
1. Currency exchange rate
You’ll buy a coffee for $4.50 and think it’s expensive. But if you’re American, convert it to your strong dollar and he presto you’re only paying $2.96 😊
2. Mild weather
Unlike countries in the northern hemisphere, winter here in the antipodes is mild and very pleasant. So if you’re seeking an escape from drastic heat and scorching temperatures then you will consider Sydney heaven on earth.
3. Less crowds
The best kept secret in the entire world is visiting Sydney in winter. Right now, in the middle of winter it is 23/73 Celsius/Fahrenheit. The beaches are busy and people are walking around the city in t-shirts and shorts. The sky is blue and vibe is fine.
4. Health and wellness and battling climate change
Unlike many holiday locations across the world right now, where people are experiencing heat waves, and receiving advice to avoid dehydration, like stay away from alcoholic, hot, or sugary drinks (including tea and coffee)
No fear. The climate in Sydney during winter is so fine, you can sit back and relax as you indulge in 2 of the most fundamental holiday favourites. Coffee and cocktails.
5. Access to more accommodation at off peak rates
There are so many places to stay in Sydney. They are scattered all over the city and on the fringe. Ranging from boutique to 5-star hotels, they are all offering incredibly affordable prices over winter because people think it’s too cold to travel here at this time of year, and so they wait until EVERYONE comes when prices are sore
6. VIVID light festival
We don’t have to tell you how spectacular this event is. Just google Vivid Sydney and check out the images. It is an out-of-this-world experience. Over the course of the year, the Opera House only lights up when something amazing is happening, but during Vivid they light it up every night.
But hang on! It’s not just light, it’s also showcasing sound and ideas which makes it even more intriguing.
7. The Great Eastern Sun
Sunrise in Sydney is more than special, it is sacred. It has a healing effect on you if you understand and respect it. The kookaburras herald the wakeup call at around 4am, giving plenty of time to get yourself out of the house and in position with your coffee in hand. It’s an invitation for all people to discover their own goodness, which is always there, just as the sun is always rising.
