Places to see
What are the must-see attractions while staying in the Blue Mountains?
Three Sisters: On the edge of Katoomba's Echo Point at the top of the Jamison Valley, there can be no doubt that the most famous 'must-see' attraction in the Blue Mountains is the Three Sisters. Weathered sandstone pillars that have been eroded over thousands of years, the constantly changing light and conditions make this one of Australia's most beloved and photographed locations. Experience the breathtaking beauty of the Blue Mountains through thrilling abseiling activities.
Scenic World: A trip to the floor of the Jamison Valley, accessible either by foot or via Scenic World's Cable Car or Scenic Railway is well worth a look to see nature up close, as is a visit to any of the area's famed lookouts – for example Govetts Leap, Wentworth Falls, Sublime Point and Mount Piddington – to get a bird's eye view of the spectacular scenery for which the area is renowned.
Jenolan Caves: Head to Jenolan Caves, one of the world's oldest and largest cave systems to marvel at soaring limestone formations, or lace up your hiking boots and step into the shadows of giants with a walk in the Grose Valley's breathtaking Blue Gum Forest.
