Overview

Vast, vibrant and dynamic, the sun-soaked, beach-strewn metropolis of Sydney is the epitome of easygoing Aussie living. Here world-class cuisine, cutting-edge street culture, sport, fashion, and a united nations of nationalities intersect on a daily basis making it one of the world’s top 10 cities to live in. From the much loved sights on the tourist trail (the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and Bondi Beach) to the myriad small, bustling bars and hidden art galleries, Sydney truly has something for all tastes. Even for the seasoned traveller, there’s plenty of hidden gems. Regarded by many Sydneysiders as the country's capital in all but name, Sydney is a thriving centre for both business and the arts with a buzzing, cosmopolitan scene fit to rival that of New York and London. Sydney’s busy social calendar means that at almost any time of year, a festival is underway, especially during the summer months.
