With its lively arts scene and nature’s artistry on show at every turn, creative energy charges through the harbour city. Now, as a jam-packed calendar of world-class cultural events weaves its magic throughout spring, summer and beyond, you’ll find innovation meets inspiration wherever you venture. Here, the must-do experiences that’ll leave you feeling energised long after the applause fades.

Enjoy a refreshing new perspective

For more than 150 years the Art Gallery of New South Wales has showcased extraordinary creativity, and now its hallowed halls are set to unveil their own transformation as the Sydney Modern Project reveals a brand new building, inspiring outdoor spaces, and dynamic galleries. Feel your mind expand as you explore the works of Adrián Villar Rojas, Brett Whiteley and Laurence Edwards; feast on Matt Moran’s culinary creations, and discover nature’s treasures on an Aboriginal bush tucker tour in the nearby Royal Botanic Garden.

Discover an icon’s secret stories

The Sydney Opera House is the glittering centrepiece of Australia’s arts scene, and as its pearly sails sparkle in the spring sunshine its stages feature everything from lively musicals to classic concertos. Get swept away by powerful storytelling, live music and dance performances; discover the house’s rich, hidden history on a private tour, and afterwards, raise a toast as you drink in the views from the Opera Bar, Quay Quarter Lanes and Bennelong.

Venture east to feast your senses

With its twinkling city views, cosmopolitan villages, golden beaches and playful spirit, Sydney’s East is a cradle of creativity. Become part of its effervescent rhythm as pop living legends hit the stage at Allianz Stadium; be awed and enthralled by Paddington’s eclectic galleries, and let your inspiration guide you to Bondi, where each year the Sculpture by the Sea exhibition showcases the world’s best creativity and landmark eateries like Sean’s, Icebergs and Totti’s serve inspiration on a platter.

Live in the theatrical moment

From the art deco opulence of the State Theatre to the heritage grace of the Capitol and the modern charms of the Sydney Lyric Theatre, the city’s entertainment venues are themselves inspiring works of art – and host everything from Broadway musicals to Australian comedy greats throughout the year. Afterwards, head to the Darling Quarter for late-night bites, before slipping between the sheets at The Aiden, Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour, or Crown Towers in buzzing Barangaroo.

Explore unexpected treasure troves

Wander around The Rocks and you’ll find arts, culture and entertainment as vibrant as the harbour itself. With its thought-provoking collection of more than 4000 modern works and a rolling roster of world-class exhibitions and works by some of Australia’s most exciting young artists – the Museum of Contemporary Art always inspires. Nearby, look for treasures hidden in plain sight on an Aboriginal culture or architecture walking tour, before hitting refresh in YCK laneways’ secret bars.

Revel in the buzz of diversity

Sydney’s community spirit comes to life in its lively culture. At the Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre on the banks of the Georges River you’ll find a busy schedule of events, from film series to comedy clubs. Just 15 minutes’ drive away in Campbelltown, The National 4 tells the story of Australia's vibrant contemporary art landscape; meanwhile in Cabramatta, the local Vietnamese community shares its delicious culinary heritage at a delectable range of eateries all year round.

Find joy in the eclectic and eccentric

With its street-art filled lanes, breweries, and live soundtrack featuring everything from rock to rap, the Inner West is buzzing with creativity. Embrace its care-free spirit at the Enmore Theatre, or The Vanguard. Out and about, you can soak up the creativity at the White Rabbit Gallery, the Imperial and Factory Theatre, and spend a night or three basking in the inspiration at the atmospheric Old Clare Hotel
