In this part of the world, summer is on its way and the weather is spectacular with blue skies and mild weather.

It is Christmas with a twist and you will love it! Apart from Christmas, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/sydney-travel-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sydney<\/a> is enjoying its summer and there are tons of adventure and nature activities on offer, as well as festivals that compare with the best in Europe.

The onset of summer is pleasant with beautiful bright days. This however does not dampen the spirit of Christmas and New Year, which is celebrated with much fervor.<\/li>\n<li><b>Outdoor activities<\/b> \u2013 Australia is a fantastic destination for adventure and nature lovers and Sydney is not far behind and summer is the best time to explore the region.

You will find ice skating rinks, holiday gift stalls, and child-friendly activities at these events.<\/li>\n<li> Centennial Park is a great venue for events and you will find some event or the other happening there. Throughout summer, the park\u2019s Belvedere Amphitheatre hosts an open-air film festival, the Moonlight Cinema.<\/li>\n<li>Sydney has a variety of marketplaces including Rozelle Collectors Market (great for antiques and second-hand bric-a-brac), Blacktown Markets (drive-in theatre, food trucks, and pop-up cafes), Argyle Affair Christmas Market, and Sydney Trash and Treasure Bazaar (biggest flea market).<\/li>\n<li>The best spot to enjoy Christmas festivities in Sydney is Martin Place, where you can spot the biggest Christmas tree in the city and the festive holiday lighting of Pitt Street Mall. There are special Christmas Harbour cruises and Christmas lunches at restaurants.<\/li>\n<li>Even in summer, most restaurants in Sydney close by 9:30pm, so if you are looking to make late-night plans, you will have to plan your day accordingly. Also, many stores shut down by 5pm, so finish your shopping earlier in the day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Month-By-Month Guide To Visiting Sydney<\/h2>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/sydney-in-january\/\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix-open.headout.com\/blog\/Icons\/noun_toast_1471331+(1).png\" alt=\"Sydney in Jan\" height=\"60px\" width=\"60px\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"1905719313\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/a>Jan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/sydney-in-february\/\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix-open.headout.com\/blog\/Icons\/noun_Hearts_102763+(2).png\" alt=\"Sydney in Feb\" height=\"60px\" width=\"60px\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"2783933084\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/a>Feb <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/sydney-in-march\/\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix-open.headout.com\/blog\/Icons\/noun_Bird_1886434+(1).png\" alt=\"Venice in March\" height=\"60px\" width=\"60px\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"2459099357\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/a>Mar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/sydney-in-april\/\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix-open.headout.com\/blog\/Icons\/noun_Flower_123917+(1).png\" alt=\"Sydney in April\" height=\"60px\" width=\"60px\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"2321469850\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/a>Apr <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/sydney-in-may\/\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix-open.headout.com\/blog\/Sydney\/Sydney+in+November\/may-01.png\" alt=\"Sydney in may\" height=\"120px\" width=\"120px\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"371481822\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/a>May <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/sydney-in-june\/\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix-open.headout.com\/blog\/Budapest\/Best+Time+To+Visit+Budapest\/noun_Rain_2616922.png\" alt=\"Sydney in June\" height=\"90px\" width=\"90px\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"1255150154\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/a>Jun <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/sydney-in-july\/\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix-open.headout.com\/blog\/Sydney\/Sydney+in+November\/jul-01.png\" alt=\"sydney in july\" height=\"90px\" width=\"90px\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"3915756529\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/a>Jul <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/sydney-in-august\/\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix-open.headout.com\/blog\/Sydney\/Sydney+in+November\/Aug-01.png\" alt=\"sydney in august\" height=\"90px\" width=\"90px\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"4193764002\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/a>Aug <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/sydney-in-september\/\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix-open.headout.com\/blog\/Sydney\/Sydney+in+November\/Sep-01.png\" alt=\"sydney in sept\" height=\"90px\" width=\"90px\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"4268636735\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/a>Sep <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/sydney-in-october\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix-open.headout.com\/blog\/Icons\/noun_Halloween_2003094+(1).png\" alt=\"sydney in Oct\" height=\"60px\" width=\"60px\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"2944750817\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/a>Oct <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/sydney-in-november\/\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix-open.headout.com\/blog\/Sydney\/Sydney+in+November\/nov-01.png\" alt=\"sydney in Nov\" height=\"90px\" width=\"90px\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"705128986\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/a>Nov <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/sydney-in-december\/\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix-open.headout.com\/blog\/Barcelona\/Best+time+to+visit+Barcelona\/noun_Christmas_2013461.png\" alt=\"sydney in Dec\" height=\"90px\" width=\"90px\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"2147808713\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/a>Dec<\/p>\n<p>See more Sydney.
