Australia’s stunning Blue Mountains are rightly championed as one of the must-see attractions in New South Wales. Take in the famous blue haze which surrounds the landscape of deep valleys, unique rock formations and tumbling waterfalls. Base yourself in the charming local villages of Leura and Katoomba or visit for the day from Sydney, just a short drive away.

Located further north, the Hunter Valley is a renowned wine region in the heart of New South Wales, known for its gourmet delights and world-class vineyards, set amongst picturesque landscapes of lush rolling hills and meticulously planted rows of grapevines. With over 150 cellar doors, indulge in fine wines, enjoy delicious farm-to-table cuisine experiences, and embrace its stunning natural beauty.

Read on for our guide to the best things to do in the Blue Mountains and Hunter Valley, to help you make the most of your time in this beautiful part of Australia.
