“Sydney is one of the world’s most vibrant cities,

and is also a gateway to the rest of Australia. It’s exciting and vibrant.”

- René Redzepi, Chef and co-owner of Noma, Copenhagen

Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, Australia. It is Australia's oldest and largest city with a population of around 4 million. Sydney is built around a huge harbour and hosts many tourist attractions as well as a number of beaches, bays and a couple of national parks.

Sydney has many influences upon its style. Aboriginal sites and engravings can still be seen from the original occupiers, the Eora tribe. The city also has an Anglo Mediterranean style and a growing Chinese and Asian influence.

The city is divided into North and South by the Sydney Harbour, with both Sydney Harbour Bridge and Tunnel connecting them. Most of the tourist attractions are in the South part of the city, with a large business and residential area in the North. The South part of the city consists of The Rocks and Circular Quay to the North, with the Central Station marking the South. Darling Harbour marks the West and there are many parks to the East.

A shopper's dream, Sydney's Central Business District is home to some of the best shopping centres in the city. One should not miss the chance to shop in the famous Queen Victoria building. This stunning shopping centre occupies an entire city block. While visiting this awesome store be sure to stop at their equally renown 'Food Glorious Food' Department. You can choose from one of their many gourmet delights and then stroll over to the beautiful Hyde Park for a picnic.

There is also plenty of tourist accommodation available to be booked online with Australian Explorer, including the many Sydney apartments which give you the flexibility of self-catering, or perhaps you prefer a more homely feel of Sydney bed and breakfasts.
