"City Of Sydney - a Destination to Dream About"
Many consider the city of Sydney the most beautiful and lively city in Australia. I am definitely one of those many. The core of this majestic city, which includes its Central Business District (CBD), has an enviable position. The gateway to the city, in the stunning Sydney Harbour, is flanked by the sails of the Opera on one side and the arch of the Bridge on the other.
Sydney benefits from an exceptional combination of natural and man made factors that make it a true jewel in the Southern hemisphere: a desirable location with unparalleled views, mild weather, strong economy, good infrastructure, enjoyable lifestyle, great dining and shopping experience.
Things to Do in the City of Sydney
Take a stroll in the heart of the city. Feel its pulse. Get to Martin Place, look at the stately buildings, listen to young artists playing music. You might hear guitars or bagpipes or a saxophone.
Or go to Circular Quay. If you take the ferry to get to another suburb in the harbour, the view is magical and the breeze so fresh in the hot summer.
Watch the people. Some, dressed in business attire, are rushing. Others, sporting thongs or joggers and shorts, are totally stress-free. In the morning you’ll see professionals in a hurry to go to work or meetings and idle tourists that can’t get enough of the city’s charm.
And when one of the big liners drops anchor at Circular Quay in Sydney Harbour, thousands of visitors pour into the city.
Come midday, the city of Sydney streets are really busy with people crossing each others' pathway to go to the numerous eateries and food courts or to jog around. Some take a stroll, others take their lunch box and head towards a park or just an open space. It is amazing how many people sit on the grass or on steps to have their lunch or lie on the lawn or exercise.

How many cities in the world offer you million dollar views to go with your humble sandwich?
Where else can you watch yachts, luxurious or not, drifting smoothly or riding the surf, listen to the hum of the waves, feel the cool splash of the water, look at architectural emblems – the opera and the bridge and all that during your lunch break?
Sydney Nightlife
At night the energy keeps pumping up at the numerous bars, clubs and restaurants, some offering live bands, others just exquisite food and wine. The Kings Cross, Potts Point, Wooloomooloo, Elizabeth Bay and the CBD are great for dining and clubbing at night. Or during the many festivals and events organised in Sydney friends come together and head to Hyde Park, Domain or Darling Harbour to have the time of their life, listen to bands, rock and dance the night away.
