Comment from Emma

If you are lucky enough to be in Sydney between May 25 and June 11, then you’re in for a treat, as the city’s iconic landmarks become a spectacular canvas of color and light during the Vivid Sydney festival.

Cutting-edge light installations will be projected on the sails of the Sydney Opera House and on buildings and sculptures throughout Sydney Harbour. As well as these incredible lighting displays there will be international music acts performing everything from electro-pop to rock and gospel plus a series of talks, discussions and multimedia presentations designed to celebrate and spark creativity and innovation.

The best vantage points in which to see this amazing event are from Sydney Harbour and the city’s tallest building – the iconic Sydney Tower. Viator offers several opportunities to see the lightshow from these enviable viewpoints. To take advantage of the highest viewing spot in town, opt either for a buffet dinner at Sydney Tower’s revolving restaurant or, if fine dining is more your style, book a spot at the 360 bar and restaurant, which offers an la carte menu as well as Sydney’s best view!

To get a front row spot for the nightly fire shows and lighting of the Opera House sails, book a cruise on Sydney Harbour. Enjoy dinner as the sun sets and watch the lightshow begin from the deck of an historic tall ship or a grand motor yacht. Choose from one of several fantastic cruises on offer to help you make your Vivid Sydney experience a truly spectacular one!
