Think San Francisco and Rio de Janeiro mixed in with a heaping dose of small-town Aussie flavor. Sydney's distinctly individual appeal lies in its fantastic oceanside setting, laid-back attitude, stellar beaches, beautiful people, and eternally sunny subtropical climate.
For the beautiful harbor setting, the brilliant beaches, varied cuisine, excellent shopping, and energetic nightlife.
