If you are planning a visit to the Australian city, then you can be sure you will make some friends, have an adventure and have people back at home laughing at your travel stories.

The two main attractions that draw the crowds to Sydney are the amazing Opera House, and Sydney Harbour which divides the city up into northern and southern sectors. Central Sydney starts at Circular Quay and stretches right up to Central Station, and the vibrant and energetic atmosphere stretches down to Chinatown and the emergent Spanish Quarter near Liverpool Street.

Darling Harbour has seen major improvements over the last few years and major attractions to look out for are the Harbourside Center, Cockle Bay Wharf and King St Wharf. This is a great place to hang out and sit at a trendy restaurant or café or stylish bar before exploring the many shops and boutiques.

Sydney is unquestionably a travellers paradise, and with the international airport nearby, the starting point for many people to other remote parts of the country. The hordes of backpackers arriving weekly bring a young feel to the city, and along with the interesting locals you can literally feel the electricity in the air, whatever the time of year.
