Two Unique Ways to Spend Christmas Day in Sydney

Christmas is a joyful festival celebrated with high spirits by billions of people around the world. It is one of those times that brings a sense of kindness and harmony. Everyone looks forward to the end of the year to celebrate Xmas and most of them start their preparations in the beginning of December itself. People usually stay indoors, decorate their houses, share meals together, give each other gifts and have fun with some form of entertainment but those days are over and now people just want to be outside and experience the unlimited outdoor fun and activities. Here are a few destinations to check out for Xmas Day with your favourite group of people.


Sydney Harbour Cruises


Sydney is the cosmopolitan capital of New South Wales, Australia and one of the most visited destinations around the world. This laid-back city with its waterfront location houses over a hundred breezy beaches, museums, parks, huge skyscrapers, gardens and a staggering list of cruises along its famous harbour. Christmas in Sydney is celebrated with great joy and enthusiasm by its locals as well as tourists. Even though there are numerous events and celebrations across the vast coastline, the harbour cruises are a popular attraction during this time. There are multiple cruises offered in the glittering harbour, hop on a Christmas Day lunch cruise and free yourself from the hassles of organising and cooking a huge meal at home. Enjoy a delicious lunch with your loved ones while cruising through the harbour and enjoying the stunning sights of its famous landmarks. The vessels include a purpose-built catamaran with three expansive outer decks, an authentic paddlewheeler with wrap-around verandah and live entertainment and a premium glass boat with glass walls offering 360° views of the harbour. Each of them has their own distinct characteristics and amenities so choose according to your desires. Enjoy a relaxing day here, savor a sumptuous lunch (banquet, buffet or signature menu- depending on the cruise) at the reserved tables with your group while soaking in the spectacular sights of the harbour landmarks including the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and many more. These dishes including the Xmas favourites are prepared freshly by the onboard chefs. Cherish these warm moments with a drink in your hand and capture memorable photographs, creating a lasting memory. With roving views, tantalizing dishes and impeccable service, these Christmas Day cruises will be your ideal location, leaving you with unforgettable memories. Book at the earliest as these popular cruises are expected to be sold out almost instantaneously.


Royal Botanic Garden


The Royal Botanic Garden is one of the famous attractions in Sydney. This World heritage-listed garden and recreational area is located at Farm Cove, in the eastern border of Sydney Central Business District (CBD). This historic botanical garden was opened in 1816 and is one of the oldest scientific institutions in Australia. With vibrant colours and natural beauty in the heart of Sydney, this magical garden is an ideal choice for people looking for a leisure walk with friends and family or learn a little about the fascinating flora of Australia. Those with a love for trees and a desire to see the most beautiful of Australia’s flowers can seek out the free tours offered around the garden with one of the volunteer guides. These friendly tour guides will take you around the gardens so you can see the specialties of the season.  You can also discover other things like exploring the Aboriginal heritage and learn about foraging, hopping on other insightful tours that will help you gain a broader knowledge about the garden’s history or even enjoy a cup of coffee in any of the cafes around. There are also few events being held each year, so be sure to check out their website for more info.
