Sydney Opera House

For serious bragging rights, be sure to catch a performance here. The program is eclectic—anything from a modern update on Shakespeare from Australia’s most revered troupe, Bell Shakespeare, to Brazilian rock and controversial modern theater. The daily guided tours take about an hour each, and are available in many languages. The anecdotes behind the iconic building and its construction make the time pass quickly.
