The capital of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia, it’s one of the world’s iconic<br />
cities, with landmarks that are recognised around the world. But there’s a whole lot to explore just<br />
outside the city, too.<br />
Located in Port Jackson Bay, an inlet of the Tasman Sea in the South Pacific Ocean, the towering<br />
Blue Mountains are to the west and the mighty Hawkesbury River is to the north. It’s a global city<br />
and a major financial, commercial, and cultural centre.<br />
The most recognisable sights are the Sydney Opera House, built in 1973, and the round hump of<br />
the Sydney Harbour Bridge, two structures that make the skyline so recognisable. Other main<br />
attractions in the city are the Royal Botanic Gardens, SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium, and the historic<br />
Capitol Theatre. You can’t forget the world-famous Bondi Beach or Manly Beach for excellent<br />
surfing and sunbathing.<br />
A Foodie Heaven<br />
You can’t go to Sydney without getting caught up in<br />
its fantastic approach to Modern Australian, or Mod Oz,<br />
cuisine. It’s an energetic and exciting world of flavour that<br />
reflects Australia’s hugely diverse population. Multicultural<br />
favourites include everything from Vietnamese fine dining<br />
to relaxed street food offerings like dumplings and paella.<br />
Getting Around Sydney<br />
Sydney is a brilliant city for public transport. It has an<br />
extensive network of buses, trains, metro rail, and, of<br />
course, ferries. Grab yourself an Opal Card and travel the<br />
length and breadth of the city in comfort.<br />
