A global city with enviable coast lines and a warm climate, Sydney often tops travel bucket lists for its cosmopolitan feel, undeniable beauty and recognizable architecture. Filled with history, fashion, food and nature, Australia’s oldest city offers something for everyone.
The Sydney Opera House and Harbor Bridge are probably the most iconic images of the city, but there’s much more to this coastal destination than famous landmarks. Taronga Zoo is home to Australia’s native koalas and Tasmanian devils, and the Royal Botanic Gardens are a haven for green spaces, ponds and Flying Foxes in the city. For the adventurous surf-lovers, there’s no shortage of waves to catch along Sydney’s coast. And if you’re a fan of modern art, the boundary-pushing exhibits at Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art are sure to please.
When it comes time to dine, you can enjoy a range of pan-Asian foods in this multicultural city. And after hours, Sydney knows how to party; plenty of bars and nightclubs keep the drinks flowing and music pumping into the night.
