Sydney is considered to be the most beautiful city in Australia and one
of the most beautiful cities in the world. If only we could all afford
to live there?
Sydney is situated on the hills around a spectacular bay, full of yachts
all through the year. The most known landmarks are the Sydney Opera House
and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, which have been impressing the tourists
for decades.
One of the best known places in Sydney is Circular
Quay with the spectacular view of the Bridge and Opera House. Here
is the central pier for ferries, which are an essential public transport
in Sydney - just like buses.
A ferry
trip is a must for every tourist in Sydney to appreciate the beauty of Sydney Harbour |

| In the evening Circular
Quay and the adjacent historical suburb, The Rocks, are nice places
to walk and have dinner or just a beer or two(?) in the pub. |

AMP Tower viewing platform.
Have a walk in the CBD (Central
Business District) to feel the rhythm of Australia's business capital.
To experience the city diversity, visit the best-known Sydney beaches -
Bondi and Manly. |

| There are many more places with spectacular views
of the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and the rest of Sydney. I especially
recommend Milsons
Point and Mrs Macquarie's
Chair. |

| If you intend visiting Sydney around the New Year,
the must see is New Year's eve Fireworks
on the Harbour Bridge. Be warned though - its very popular so you'll have
to come early to get a good spot for the best view and a nice
picnic. |
