Australia is the world's smallest continent, yet the places to visit in 'The Land Down Under' seem to be endless. Its peaceful atmosphere and colourful flora and fauna call people around the world to visit.

The Best Three Tourist Places in Australia.

Here are the selected three best tourist destinations in Australia that you must keep in your itinerary while visiting Australia.

The Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system and for a good reason. Spanning 344,400 square kilometres, this UNESCO World Heritage site is known for its rich diversity of aquatic animals and its beauty. Visiting the Great Barrier Reef is a must for tourists who are very interested in the flora and fauna of Australia.

But don't worry about harming the wildlife present there! The activities surrounding the reef take good care of not hurting or damaging the animals or their homes. Activities here include snorkelling, scuba diving, visiting its most unique island, Green Island, visiting Whitehaven beach, helicopter rides, and much more.

Sydney Opera House

Ask any person what the first thing in their mind is when they think of Sydney, Australia. The most likely answer is the Sydney Opera House. From the elegant outside look to the sheer size of the inside hall, everything about this place looks beautiful. The design of this magnificent house even won an international competition! The building covers 4.4 acres of land and its highest point reaches a height of  67m, which is around the height of an average 22-story building. Events here include plays, operas, cabarets, circuses, concerts, etc. At whatever time you come here, you will surely catch something you'll love!

Uluru

A big rock, you might think, isn't all this exciting. However this big rock is 348m high and 3.6km long! This beast of a monolith is high enough to fit the Eiffel Tower in it! It doesn't help that Uluru is highly connected to history as well. Anangu people had lived in Uluru for 30,000 years. This sacred place is believed by them to have been there since the dawn of time. It is seen as a resting place for ancient spirits, increasing its sacredness. Till today, ceremonies are still held in the caves lining the perimeter of Uluru. This giant monolith should be your perfect destination if you are one of the ones who love the outdoors and different cultures. Relax under the stars near this monolith as there are camping sites around. Take walks around and in this rock as you admire the art styles of the Aboriginal people.
