Sydney travel guide: introduction and basics

Sydney has been called many things, but subtle isn’t one of them. Australia’s biggest city is, quite frankly, a bit of a show-off – from the glamorous harbour to its surf beaches and waterfront mansions, the place screams “Look at me”.

Go behind the glittering façade and you’ll find a complex, generous but highly competitive city – and an energetic one. When Sydneysiders aren’t working, they are doing a myriad of outdoorsy things – from swimming to inline skating.

Despite its uncultured reputation, Sydney has its fair share of art galleries, museums, theatres and bookshops. Its citizens just happen to believe that most good things in life should be accompanied by a water view, a plate of Sydney rock oysters and a chilled glass of white wine.
