Some of the major landmarks in the city such as Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Customs House and the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia are also must-visit places during the festival. Another highlight of Vivid Sydney 2022 is that the program will be extended to The ASN Clocktower near The Rocks and Central Station and The Good Line including an abandoned tunnel. Most of the above-mentioned landmarks\u2014all clad in bright and reflective art works\u2014can be enjoyed from a waterfront vantage point such as our special Vivid cruise. There are plenty of other waterfront dining options including rooftop restobar or hotels situated on the harbourside.
