Timing

When to go.

Live · you're in July
Best time
Mar–Apr, Sep–Nov

March, April and September–November offer mild temperatures, relatively low rainfall and shoulder-season pricing; spring is noted as the driest period, and spring/autumn have more affordable international flights than summer.

Avoid
Dec–Jan

Peak Australian summer school and Christmas–New Year holidays make this the most expensive period, with high demand pushing up flight and accommodation prices; Sydney is also hotter and more humid, with higher rainfall and humidity concentrated from December to March.

From our review

A few more timing notes.

Central CBD location supports year-round access to retail and transit options
Suitable for business and leisure visits given its placement in Sydney's main shopping and landmark area
