Australia Travel Tips

Australia combines vibrant cities, endless coastlines and landscapes unlike almost anywhere else. Around Sydney, famous beaches and the impressive natural harbour await, Melbourne is a good starting point for the Great Ocean Road, and in the west you will find Perth, vast stretches of coast and the red Outback. Our Australia travel tips include personal travel stories, practical advice and ideas for planning your own route.

The huge distances shape almost every journey through the country. Many regions are best explored on a road trip by rental car or campervan, while domestic flights connect destinations that are far apart. Depending on your route, national parks, wildlife encounters, small coastal towns or major cities may take centre stage. Adelaide, Canberra and Western Australia also show just how varied Australia can be.

We show you which stops are worthwhile, how much time to allow for individual routes and which places combine well. This helps you plan your trip to Australia realistically while still leaving enough room for spontaneous discoveries.
