Great place to visit
SYDNEY'S laid-back outdoor lifestyle and physical
allure make it one of the world's easiest and most pleasant cities to
visit. The people who live here are a friendly, energetic bunch with a
tell-it-like-it-is approach to life as visitors to the Sydney 2000
Olympic Games found out for themselves.
When it comes to which city is Australia's true global city, there's no
argument. It's Sydney - with its sense of style, its love of sport and
exuberant celebrations including New Year's Eve and Australia Day.
All of its attributes lie within easy reach of the city centre.
Sydney's harbour is its natural playground, the dominant factor in so
much of what the city has to offer. The city has a wide-ranging
cultural life, dynamic food scene and vibrant cityscape of outstanding
contemporary and colonial architecture. Iconic beaches and five major
national parks deliver unforgettable experiences.
