Just because the temps have dropped and winter is now full swing it does not mean social activities in the gorgeous harbor side city we call Sydney.  We may not get the snow, or exude the same icy vibes that other cities to our south do … However we do have one annual attraction that year after year is loved by Sydney’s young and old alike – Ice Skating!

The city of Sydney offers visitors and locals the opportunity to experience the winter magic with two open air, out door destinations offering completely different vibes.

If you city slicker who love a bit of New York City ambiance need to check out the Winter Festival at St Mary’s Cathedral. Over looking Sydney’s Hyde Park this open air ice rink instantly transforms the Sydney streets in a magical winter wonderland reminiscent of New york Cities Central Park.

If your taste skews towards the sun and sand rather than the snow, then Bondi Winter Magic is for you! With a giant ice skating rink constructed right on the beach in front of The Pavilion. Weather you enjoy taking in the view at the famous Bondi Beach and soaking up some winter sun or prefer to skate under the Sydney night sky, Australia’s only beachside ice rink is the perfect place for you!

Plan your next romantic date, family outing or school holiday activity to keep the kids entertained by pre planning your transport. Relax in the comfort and warmth of a chauffeur driven, prestige vehicle as we navigate traffic, drop you at the front and source parking so you don’t have to.

There is always something to do and see in Sydney – Sometimes so much so it’s hard to keep track!  The team at Prestige Chauffeurs thought we would get you prepared  for the month of event ahead by putting together a list of all the fun things to do and see in June around Sydney –

Vivid Sydney is a unique annual event of light, music and ideas, featuring an outdoor ‘gallery’ of extraordinary lighting sculptures, a cutting-edge contemporary music program, some of the world’s most important creative industry forums and, of course, the spectacular illumination of the Sydney Opera House sails.

It positions Sydney as the creative hub of Australia and the Asia-Pacific region, and delivers both innovative live entertainment and creative inspiration on a grand scale.

Sydney is a pretty amazing and beautiful city to experience no matter what season, day or night the lights twinkle and the harbor glistens. Weather you are looking up at the Centre Point Tower, climbing the Harbor Bridge, running Mrs. Macquarie’s stairs, strolling the Royal Botanic Gardens, Shopping on Oxford Street or sailing past the Opera House – There is always something to do and see. New events, exhibitions, productions; Therefor it’s our opinion that in order for a show to become an annual event in this city it has to be something pretty damn spectacular. The city facades, buildings, icons and open air space over the next few weeks will loan themselves the visually stunning Vivid Sydney Festival 2015.

Vivid Sydney is happening around Sydney in various locations in the Sydney CBD, on the harbor and even all the way over to Chatswood. There are installations, projections; laser shows a river of light through out the Sydney areas. Dull buildings will come alive when lit with multi-colored patterns, the Opera House bathed in digital artworks and  our Harbor Bridge is resembling an abstract rainbow which onlookers can only see by night adds to the magic of it all.

Unfortunately an event of this scale always comes with a few road closures & not enough parking, so make sure you rely on the team at Prestige Chauffeurs to strategically and efficiently navigate your way through the city streets. Your personal chauffeur can stop at any and all Vivid Sydney exhibitions, wait while you and your enjoy a meal at one of the many five-star restaurants Sydney has to offer.

Let our experienced Prestige Chauffeurs team map out custom designed route for you to explore the lights shows and events or alternatively you can let us know the exhibitions and events you want to see and we will make it happen.

The annual event will be showing from the 22nd May 2015 – 8th June 2015. Call Prestige Chauffeurs today to ask about tours and obtain a quote.
