Sydney is the capital city of the south-eastern Australian state of New South Wales, situated on Port Jackson, more commonly known as "Sydney Harbour". With a population of just over 4.25 million, Sydney—the "Harbour City"—remains the largest, oldest and most cosmopolitan city in Australia. Sydney has a reputation worldwide as one of the world's most beautiful cities, brimming with historical associations and globally influential in the realms of culture, art, fashion, cuisine and design. The city is also home to many unique architectual styles, including the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, two of the most iconic structures on the planet.

The bridge climb is really a must-do if you're in Sydney and even better when it's a gorgeous day. I believe they will be starting dawn climbs soon. http://www.bridgeclimb.com/ 320 days, 18 hours ago
Sydney's opera house is a must-see symbol of the city. Its sail like form fits well in the busy harbor. We took a ferry from the harbor to Sydney zoo. It was a good way to see the harbor, the Harbor Bridge and the Opera House as a whole. 141 days, 19 hours ago

I know there has been atleast two great shows in this theatre. But I haven't seen any of those shows that are goin on right now. From the Sydneys' theatres I believe this is the the most traditional one. 42 days, 3 hours ago
Great place for having your birthday, if you happen to be in Sydney then. Haven't been in their cabaret's yet. The birthday partys weren't actually that expensive either. Worth trying :) 42 days, 3 hours ago
Great place; nice soft, sandy beaches. Sun can be a bit strong so don't stay in the sun for too long. 107 days, 9 hours ago
I suggest that you spend one night on dinner cruise. The boat takes a nice trip on Sydney harbor area and you can see the whole city with night lights, and at the same time you enjoy nice seafood buffet. Some of the cruises are little bit expensive, but I think it's worth money. The best thing is to go to harbor one hour before the cruises and ask discounts. Normally they offer you buffet with free drinks by the price of normal buffet. If you do this don't get too wasted and past out on Darling Harbor as someone did... 152 days, 19 hours ago
The Fish Market in Sydney is a splendid place to visit for lunch, if you like seafood. The place has to offer plenty of small establishments selling very fresh seafood at very reasonable prices - everything from lobsters to oysters. While as such working as a wholesale auction place for fish and other products of the sea, the fish market is also a quite popular tourist attraction due to the marketplace atmosphere and the quality of food on offer. 153 days, 22 hours ago
