When most tourists go sightseeing they tend to blend in with the crowd, but not Lady Gaga.

The 26-year-old singer was spotted out and about in Sydney today dressed in her usual eccentric style as she took a break from performing.

Wearing her trademark platform boots and large white sunglasses, Gaga headed down the wharf to board a boat for a Sydney Harbour cruise.

She teamed her towering heels with a pair of white leggings and an off-the-shoulder cream jumper.

Despite it being winter Down Under, the Born This Way singer clearly wasn't bothered about showing off some flesh but she did carry a light-coloured fur garment over her arm just in case she began to feel the cold.

As she emerged from her hotel with her blonde hair pulled up into a beehive, Gaga was surrounded by a small team who ensured that she didn't tumble in her extremely high boots.

As she made her way to the boat, the U.S. star was followed by eager fans who snapped away and no doubt asked for her autograph.

Gaga was clearly enjoying her day off from her Born This Way Ball tour which has seen her play four nights in Sydney.

The singer was beaming from ear to ear as she relaxed on the boat with her friends and enjoyed a drink.

Gaga was no doubt feeling grateful for the break before she heads to Melbourne where she will play five shows at the Rod Laver Arena.
