City Description

Sydney, a beautiful and charming city

“I gave up trying to portray the beauty of Sydney Harbour for readers,” said English novelist Anthony Trollope of the Sydney Harbour. One of the 3 most beautiful ports in the world along with Napoli, Italy and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Sydney is Australia’s largest city, inhabited by one fourth of the country’s population. It’s a charming city where you can feel both traditional and modern cultures as well as both Europe and Asia.

Sydney is named after the Lord Sydney, a British cabinet member during the early years of migration. Sydney has since grown into the hub of Australia’s development. Endless and diverse things to see and do await you at Sydney, including Circular Quay where you can see the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge, representative architectural sights, Darling Harbour, suitably named for its romantic scenery, Manly Beach, a quiet and tranquil beach in northern Sydney, and the eastern part of Sydney, where the famous Bondi Beach is located.
