The top 5 best travel destinations and attractions in Australia

Australia is a breathtaking travel destination with many sights and natural wonders. In order not to miss out on the best of your holiday, here is a short list of the particularly worthwhile attractions Down Under.

Wherever you travel in Australia, you shouldn't forget to have good health insurance cover. It protects you from high costs in an emergency and gives you a feeling of security on your holiday adventure in the southern hemisphere.

1.Sydney
Sydney is not the capital of Australia, but it is a very dazzling metropolis. Its landmark is the futuristic opera house, which looks like a seashell.

Other attractions include the picturesque Royal Botanic Garden. Harbor Bridge, Sydney Tower and The Rocks offer great photo opportunities. You can find out exciting things about the country in the Australian Museum.

2. Great Barrier Reef
The World Heritage Site is a vast ecosystem that includes over 3,000 coral reefs and 600 islands. It can even be seen from space. There is hardly any other place in the world where diving and snorkeling is as impressive as it is off the Australian east coast.

But you don't have to go into the water; you can also take a glass-bottom boat and use the underwater viewing stations.

3. Uluru - once Ayers Rock
With Uluru - once Ayers Rock - Australia has another natural wonder. The striking red monolith is the highlight in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. When you visit the park, you can also see the dome-shaped rocks called Kata Tjuta.

The lighting conditions are unique and produce exceptional photos. To learn more about the Aboriginal culture there, you can book a local guide.

4. Bondi Beach
A world-famous beach awaits you 15 minutes from Sydney city center: Bondi Beach. Here you can relax and swim. If you don't just want to lie on the towel or lounge chair, then take a walk on the beach.

The coastal path from Bondi to Brote is six kilometers long and very beautiful. Opposite the coastal strip you will find cafes, shops and restaurants where you can take a break.

5. Blue Mountains National Park
The UNESCO World Heritage Site can be reached by train from Sydney. In the national park you will marvel at eucalyptus trees, gorges, rock paintings by the indigenous population and waterfalls.

The park measures a total of 250,000 hectares. Its landmark are the sandstone rock formations called the Three Sisters. Climbing, horse riding, hiking, mountain biking: it's all possible in this popular national park.

Medical care in Australia is very good. The metropolitan regions have numerous hospitals and specialists with excellent facilities.

In sparsely populated areas the situation is completely different. In the outback you rely on the Royal Flying Doctors Service, which operates by plane. Regardless of location, medical costs are high, which is why health insurance is essential.
