Sydney

Australia

Sydney is one place that lives up to the glossy brochure hype and is, quite simply put, one of the best cities in the world.

Conde Naste sums it up in one quick sentence: 'Nowhere does ground meet water as seductively as in Sydney' and this is confirmed by its reader polls, which have consistently voted the city as the favourite of British travellers.

Exploring the city

Home to nearly one-quarter of the Australian population, Sydney is not only the cultural and financial heart of the country; it also often represents the first stop on many travellers' itineraries. And what better place to immerse yourself into all things Australian - the sparkling waters of the harbour, the golden sand of the beaches, the hidden pockets of parklands and botanical gardens, the unbeatable fresh food and laid-back charm of its cafes and restaurants, and the great outdoor life  that Sydneysiders take for granted.

Attractions

Sydney also has a couple of iconic sites that many may have heard of, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, but so many more attractions lie beneath the surface for those that are willing to explore a little further a field.

National Parks lay hidden on the city outskirts, with walking tracks leading to spectacular lookouts; sheltered harbour beaches wait alluringly away from the crowds, perfect for dropping anchor and swimming in the potentially the world's most famous water; the historical pubs and cobblestone alleys of the Rocks district ooze convict history, intertwined with Aboriginal arts and crafts stores as a reminder of its original inhabitants and pockets of multi-cultural communities - Greek, Chinese, Italian to name a few - bustle with activity and make sure that there is always something going on.
