Best cities to visit in New South Wales

Sydney: As the largest city in NSW, Sydney offers some world-renowned attractions, like Sydney Harbour Bridge and the iconic Sydney Opera House. The Royal Botanic Garden is tucked away in Farm Cove. The coastal drive from Bondi Beach to Coogee is beautifully scenic, and you can visit historic Aboriginal sites in the area of The Rocks, where you’ll find more than 100 Australian heritage sites.
Newcastle: Visit the giant dunes at Stockton Beach, from which you can spot shipwrecks at low tide. Or head to Birubi Beach for sandboarding. Fort Scratchley offers 360-degree views across the city, and you can spot whales and dolphins if you’re lucky. To explore the city more, take a stroll along the Newcastle Memorial Walk, created on the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landing.
Wollongong: Hire a car in New South Wales and go on the Grand Pacific Drive here, winding through the Royal National Park, the second oldest in the world. Wollongong Botanic Garden has several exotic gardens, containing over 800 rare plant species. In the Berkeley area of Wollongong is the biggest Buddhist in the Southern Hemisphere, Nan Tien Temple.

So easy to book online; choose the car, what add on options I want covered and its done! No hidden fees, cancellation or unexpected costs. Beautiful, new style cars, clean and ready to go. I often receive an upgrade too at no extra cost which is nice! Always friendly with highly organised and swift service, I have used Charlestown NSW SIXT car and truck rentals many, many times. From long distance travel, replacement car while mine is out of action to self driver moving house I choose SIXT Charlestown first every time. I highly recommend them. Thanks Team!
