The range is also home to several charming towns and villages, including Katoomba, Leura, and Wentworth Falls, which offer a range of accommodations, dining, and shopping options.

One of the most famous landmarks in the Blue Mountains is the Three Sisters, a distinctive rock formation that is a popular spot for tourists and photographers.
