Synopsis
There is simply nowhere in the world like Sydney, Australia. Offering environments that rarely sit side by side - a strikingly beautiful natural setting, a major international gateway and commercial hub, and a culturally rich and diverse metropolis, no wonder this jewel in Australia’s crown was again voted the number one city in the world by the Anholt City Brands Index! Sydney Day By Daywill give international visitors access to the Harbour City’s most iconic sights and diverse experiences, including neighborhood walking tours in Circular Quay and the historic Rocks area, cosmopolitan China Town and Darling Harbour, and bohemian Newtown and Glebe. Whether you want to explore the cliff-tops of Sydney, shop for vintage in one of its many bustling markets, get festive at Mardi Gras, enjoy a local chardonnay at Aria on the harbor or soak up the rays on Bondi Beach, this guide will show how much more there is to Sydney besides the Opera House and Harbour Bridge (though it will tell you that the Bridge Climb is amazing!).
