Yes, as a Swedish citizen, you need a visa to travel to Sydney. The most common option is an eVisitor visa (subclass 651), which is free of charge and allows tourist visits for up to three months. You apply easily online before departure. Make sure your passport is valid for the duration of your stay. Compared to Sweden, border controls in Australia are very strict, especially regarding the import of food and plants, so be sure to declare everything in your luggage to avoid high fines directly upon arrival.

Sydney has an extensive system of trains, buses, and ferries. You use an Opal card or contactless payment to travel smoothly. The ferry from Circular Quay to Manly is a must, as it offers a fantastic view of the Opera House at a low price. Unlike Swedish cities, Sydney is very spread out, so the train is often the fastest way to reach suburbs or beaches like Bondi. Walking in the city center is easy, but for longer distances, public transport is reliable and affordable for all visitors.

Sydney is generally a very safe city, similar to Stockholm or Gothenburg. However, be vigilant late at night in areas like Kings Cross. An important local custom is to always thank the bus driver when you get off, which is more common here than in Sweden. Tipping culture exists but is not mandatory; at finer restaurants, 10% is appreciated if the service was good. Sun protection is extremely important as UV radiation is significantly stronger than in the Nordics, so use high SPF even on cloudy days to avoid burns.

Sydney's food scene is a melting pot of Asian and European influences. Don't miss trying fresh seafood at the Sydney Fish Market. A typical Australian experience is a 'barbie' (barbecue) in a park, where public grills are often available for free. For a local touch, try a meat pie or avocado toast at a café. The price level for eating out is similar to that in major Swedish cities. A tip from TICKETS.SE is to visit areas like Surry Hills for the best coffee spots, as coffee culture in Sydney is considered among the best in the world.
