Sydney is located on Australia's south-east coast. It is built around Port Jackson, which includes Sydney Harbour, and has been called the "Harbour City". It is Australia's largest financial centre and a major international tourist destination, notable for its beaches and twin landmarks: the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.
Sydney harbour is like an embracing arm of the ocean, and it is hard to imagine a more beautiful location for a city. Because detached living is so popular here, Sydney is very spreadout.
The City, or the Central Business District, CBD, is however compact. Kings Cross houses a distinctive mix of worldly pleasures on the one hand and good restaurants and low-cost housing on the other. The inner-city suburbs to the east of the City, like Darlinghurst and Paddington with its long Oxford Street, have some of the best shopping, pubs and entertainments and are known as relaxed, gay and free from prejudice. Manly with its restaurants and beach life lies north of Sydney harbour, on the North Shore. Glebe is a student dominated suburb. In fashionable Double Bay the houses are expensive and the shops exclusive. The opposite is to be found, among other places, in Redfern, poor and largely populated by aborigines, who are more or less invisible in Sydney’s more affluent areas.
Sydney ’s main attractions include:
* Sydney Harbour Bridge
* Sydney Opera House
* Darling Harbour
* Royal Botanic Gardens
* The Rocks
* Taronga Park Zoo
* Bondi Beach
* Kings Cross
* Fort Denison

Sydney beaches range from Cronulla, past those world-famous icons Bondi and Manly, and are as diverse and as exciting as the city itself. While many of the beaches offer superb views (and exclusive real estate with dream homes) there is nothing exclusive about Sydney’s beaches.
Whether you want to spend a lazy afternoon snorkeling amongst the rocks or waterside dining overlooking the Pacific, whether you are looking for a week’s holiday or a quick swim in the sea at the end of a hot day, Sydney beaches are equally accessible and accommodating to families, swimmers and surfers alike.
There are headland walks from Bondi all the way to Coogee, or harbor foreshore walks from Manly to the Spit Bridge, more often than not along the edge of virgin bushland and national parks. And all within easy striking distance of the attractions and delights of Sydney’s busy CBD. Mostly you don’t have to go that far, with a bustling café and restaurant scene alongside almost every beach. |
 
The Rocks is one of the most visited parts of Sydney. Nestled at the foot of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and on the western shores of Sydney Cove, The Rocks is the foundation place of Sydney and Australia, and of enormous historical significance. It is often described as "Sydney's outdoors museum".
The Rocks is the oldest area of Sydney and has recently undergone an amazing alteration. The old district has been transformed into a vibrant pocket of cafes and restaurants and interesting tourist shops and stalls. This has been achieved without destroying the area's Old World charm and historic buildings. Most activities revolve around walking, looking and eating. The Rocks, Sydney's oldest preserved colonial district, has the main emphasis is on the historical importance of the area.
