Sydney

Sydney is one of the world's most spectacular cities with its impressive harbour full of inlets and bays. It is the first port of call for most international travellers and there is a good choice of accommodation, excellent transport connections and plenty to see and do, which ensures that Sydney never fails to impress.

Australia has only two internationally recognised urban landmarks (the Harbour Bridge and Opera House) and they're both in Sydney, but there are plenty of other things to see and do ranging from world-class museums and famous beaches to exploring vibrant neighbourhoods like The Rocks, Darlinghurst and Kings Cross.
