You will have plenty of time to drive back home after sunset. You can plan a trip all by yourself or join tours for convenience. Endless sites and activities await.
Places to Visit
Understand that the Blue Mountains covers a massive geographic area. There are towns all over the range with each having their own attractions. Read more about them so that you can arrange your schedule according to your personal preferences. For example, most visitors go up to Katoomba which is the largest of them all. It has a cool artsy vibe thanks to the hippies that call it their home. You can shop for unique pieces, go to Echo Point, and drop by Scenic World. If you want to see more shops, then head to the neighboring town of Leura which is known for its arts and crafts.
You can pack a lot in a day trip but you can see even more if you stay for a few nights. Wentworth Falls is the place to go to for accommodations. They have several bed-and-breakfasts, as well as nice views. Blackheath is another stop that could be worth your while if you like scenic walks around town and mountain parks. You can head to Medlow Bath to see the Hydro Majestic, a grand hotel with a stunning view of the Megalong from its expansive dining room. Have some wine or coffee while admiring the lush valley below.
If you would like to see the entire range, then you need to get yourself to the top of Mount Victoria. This is the highest peak in the region so you can get 360-degree views. It’s a great spot to take pictures. Springwood is another good place to visit. This is the second-largest community in the area but it doesn’t get as many tourists. It is the perfect place for people who love bushwalking as it offers the beauty of nature and none of the noise. Glenbrook is another bushwalking haven. It also has nice swimming holes if you want to take a dip.
Go on a Blue Mountains day trip and come home with great memories.
