From all over the world, people travel to Australia to experience its vibrant energy, wildlife and beach culture, or even to stay at Australia's first underwater hotel, Reefsuites. However, there is one part of Down Under that always stands out.

New South Wales is one of the most diverse places in Australia to visit, offering everything from gorgeous beaches to mesmerizing natural beauty. Some of the country's most famous landmarks and attractions are located there, The Travel writes.

New South Wales is one of the most popular destinations in Australia due to its vast landscapes, bustling cities, and many opportunities for outdoor activities. With so much to see and do in New South Wales, it can be difficult to choose the best places to visit, so this list narrows it down for jetsetters. Ready to plan your trip? Here are the best cities in New South Wales for your Australian vacation.

Eden

The coastal town of Eden is a place where nature is the primary destination for adventure. Not only does it border the gorgeous Tufauld Bay, but every spring its waters become a tourist attraction as thousands of humpback whales visit Eden before returning home to Antarctica for their annual migration cycle.

The city has also dedicated itself to studying and preserving the history of these magnificent animals and the natural beauty that surrounds them in many museums and research centers open to the public.

What to see and do: Orca Museum, Green Cape Lighthouse, Ben Boyd Tower, Bundlan Way Story Walk.

Canowindra

When the sea and land have nothing else to offer, Canowindra suggests taking to the skies for a surreal experience that will be remembered forever. This city in New South Wales, which annually registers the largest number of takeoffs in the country, is called the hot air balloon capital of Australia.

So, if being several thousand feet in the air is not a problem, an Australian hot air balloon ride offers a unique view of the magnificent scenery from above.

What to see and do: Australian hot air balloon ride in the sky, wine tours of Coorah, the Fish Age Museum
