Bold, sometimes brash, undeniably beautiful: this fair-weathered city twinkling in the harbour sun has a habit of reminding visitors just how much life is worth living. The beach is a locus for many Sydneysiders, and part of the fun of a stay in the city is deciding which particular stretch of golden sand is your favorite.
Here, hedonism runs alongside high culture: Sydney has some superb, cutting-edge museums, and dazzling indigenous works feature in abundant galleries. And, just as Australia has one of the world’s most multicultural populations, so modern Aussie cuisine melds Asian, Anglo and other flavours in its own, tantalising way.
