About Sydney

Sydney is often considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world, featuring scenic cliffs, bays, and beaches. The local residents embrace the world-famous harbour and the many outdoor opportunities it provides with passion.

Stretching to the Pacific Ocean on the east, Sydney originated around Sydney Cove, now called The Rocks, the city's attractive historical village that lies in the shadow of the southern end of Sydney Harbour Bridge. Within an hour's drive west of Sydney lie the Blue Mountains, a favourite escape for the city dwellers to this region of national parks.

It is a city of variety, with many attractions and entertainment, diverse localities, rich history, world famous tourist attractions and an exciting events calendar.

The city's setting by the harbour, perfected with dazzling beaches and a sunny climate, guarantees the visitor a pleasant stay. This is a place to return to, each visit bringing something new and leaving with more wonderful memories.
