Melbourne

Melbourne, which sits along Port Phillip on the southern tip of the continent, has recently emerged as a top destination Down Under, thanks to the city’s high-end shopping, world-famous street art, and burgeoning foodie scene. Explore one of Australia’s most stylish stops during this trip.

  • How to spend a sunny afternoon: Pick up local produce at the Prahran Market and enjoy a picnic in the Royal Botanical Gardens.
  • The National Gallery of Victoria is itself a piece of art, thanks to an overhaul by Italian architect Mario Bellini in 2003. Inside you’ll find a wonderful collection of Australian Aboriginal art and rotating exhibits.
  • Take a day trip to Phillip Island to watch a parade of penguins come ashore after a long day of fishing.
  • Go shopping at the open-air Queen Victoria Market, which is lined with stalls selling food, clothes, and souvenirs.
Sydney

Originally built as a British colony for exiled convicts, Sydney—Australia’s most famous city and the capital of New South Wales—is today a hotbed of art, culture, and architectural wonders. We’ve listed a few highlights below.

  • Cuddle a koala and feed a kangaroo by hand at the Australia Zoo, a massive wildlife conservation facility started by the late Steve Irwin.
  • Home to around 100 beaches: The city is full of “Sydneysiders”—flip-flop-clad surfers—who are constantly in search of the best waves; Garie Beach and Shark Island are rumored to be some of the top spots.
  • Shop at Paddington Markets: The open-air bazaar, held every Saturday, contains more than 150 stalls selling arts, clothing, and crafts.
  • Can’t-miss attraction: The Royal Botanic Gardens, which have been around for nearly two centuries, teem with cacti, well-manicured rose gardens, and tropical trees sheltering hundreds of fruit bats.

Amazing. I never thought about buying a Groupon for a trip since I have been scammed by cheap trip deals elsewhere, but a reputable company directed me to this trip. It was so easy and the travel company I had to call to activate it was phenomenal. They did all the booking, made sure we had all the Visa information filled out, trip insurance and anything we didn't know we would need! The Cambridge Hotel in Surry Hills they booked us into for the 4 nights was phenomenal. The location was AWESOME. One block away was Oxford street with buses and pharmacies and coffee shops (Sydney has incredible coffee - they excel at Mochas and they have alternative milks). A half block away was an Irish Pub and buses directly to Circular Quay (pronounced Key) with the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge (I didn't get to the Bridge Walk).Could walk to major places like Hyde Park, Australian Museum and the Westfield Eye/Sydney Eye Tower. Once at Circular Quay, there are subway trains and ferries to places like the indoor wildlife park to get close to Koala Bears and Kangaroo! Virgin Australia was the airline with nonstop to Sydney from LAX. I couldn't believe we got such an amazing airline for this price. Yes, it was economy seating, but it was a premium airline with personal free entertainment with movies, and music at your fingertips from the headrest tvs. Food was great and at good intervals with snacks. Airline hosts were amazing. Shuttle from airport to hotel was clean and efficient. Makes me sad I have never used Groupon for travel before. I have not only recommended and told about this to friends, but almost everyone I meet. Amazing adventure at affordable price.

Great deal from Groupon with good arrangement by Down Under Answers. We had a great time last October to Sydney for 7 days. DUA did a great job.
