December is summer season in Sydney and the peak time to see the city at its all time best. Even as the city buckles up toembrace one and many from around the world, there are a few things which are simply not to be missed by tourists and locals. The most recommended things to do in Sydney are-

1. Spend New Year’s Eve by the Harbor
The Sydney Opera house looks like a futuristic marvel during the New Year’s and the whole harbor lights up with the never-ending fire works that radiate warmth into the whole city. Want to make it count? Find yourself a sweet spot in the city with a view of the harbor and you will love everything that follows.

2. Go local and Explore Untouched Sydney
In December, Sydney is the best place to go explore the exquisite offerings of Australia- play with dolphins at north-Sydney Harbor, visit the Zoo, catch a show at the Opera House, soak the sun at the Bondi beach or explore the wild-life that is synonym to the country. The list of Sydney’s tourist attractions is never ending and if you have set foot in the city during peak season, you might as well go wild.

3. Dine on a Cruise
Romantics, hold on to your heart for the view you will see. The Sydney cruises get cupid to work and give you a great view of the Harbor Bridge, the sparkling waters and a cozy time over fine wine and dine options. If you want to propose or simply spoil yourself with the goods, go for it.

4. Retail Therapy
Shop till you drop at one of the city’s high fashion outlets. The Oxford street, the Queen Street, Crown Street,George Street and the Bondi’s Hall street are all a popular favorite if you are looking to loosen your grip on your wallet. Be assured, it will still be worth it. For those who want more for less, thrift shops are a sure buck-saver.

5. Explore the Local Markets
Sydney’s local life doesn’t get better than its markets. Walk through some of the famous markets like Glebe Market, the outdoor market at Paddington, Bondi’s Farmer’s Market, EQ Village Markets, Round She Goes Market, Finders Keepers market and Rock ‘n’ Roll alternative market, and what you have at the end of the day is Sydney in a nutshell.

6. See the Decorations
Like the rest of the planet, Sydney glows during the New Year’s Eve and the shops, the streets and the parks, all are embellished beyond one’s imagination. When in the city, do see the Swarovski Christmas Tree at the Queen Victoria Building shimmering with more than a million Swarovski crystal and thousand lights to adorn it. Talk about a glittering Christmas tree and Sydney will show you one.

7. What’s Brewing?
A pint of the Australian Beer makes every beer-lover a little bit jealous of the locals. The classic Australian beer journey is incomplete without a visit to the local brewery and as you leave with a pint in your hand, all you have to do is attend a football match and yell the local favorite. Aussie Aussie Aussie!
