Cultural Attractions of Australia provides travelers with behind-the-scenes access to Australia’s world-class institutions

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, August 12, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As Americans pack away their beach towels and head into fall, Australia’s summer is just around the corner—and getting there will soon be easier than ever. Four new direct flights launching between December 2025 and January 2026 from San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Dallas will connect U.S. travelers to Australia’s cultural capitals just in time for the country’s peak travel season. From Sydney’s harborside icons to Melbourne’s fashion scene and Brisbane’s bold contemporary art, U.S. travelers can land and immediately immerse themselves in unforgettable VIP experiences through Cultural Attractions of Australia (CAOA).

A collective of 18 cultural landmarks across the country, CAOA offers travelers unparalleled access to its members, beyond what’s available to the general public. Whether it’s a crowd-free, VIP-access tour of a UNESCO World Heritage site like Fremantle Prison, a skip-the-line entrance to a major museum like the QAGOMA, a private performance at Sydney Opera or a meet-the-artist moment at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, each experience is designed to immerse travelers deeply into Australia’s unique culture with unforgettable experiences.
