Sydney’s Appeal still trumps any other Australian city – Here’s Why

Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and other cities in Down Under are fantastic destinations in their own right. However, we dare claim that Sydney is the best city in Australia, we’ll go so far as to say the best in the world. Here’s why.

World-renowned beaches

Sydney boasts crystal clear and white sand beaches that beat Melbourne as well as the man-made beach that is Southbank Parklands in Brisbane. In fact, you can find around 100 beaches in Sydney, so you can pick and choose to your heart’s desire. There’s Bondi for people-watching and Cronulla where you can quickly get a spot for yourself on the far-extending, sandy beach.

Unique landmarks

The Opera House and Harbour Bridge anyone? You could just sit down for a delectable meal or fine drink in Opera Bar while admiring both at the same time. The Opera House, as you know, is an architectural masterpiece by renowned Danish architect Jorn Utzon. The Harbour Bridge, nicknamed The Coathanger due to its arch-based design, was officially opened in 1932. It took nine years to build. People are permitted to climb over the arch.

Fantastic ferries

Admittedly, public transport is a bit better in Melbourne, but nothing will beat arriving to work via ferry. The ferries also double as a way to show visitors around the grand city. There are many routes to choose from, you can go to Manly, Taronga Zoo, and Watsons Bay, and each journey promises to be scenic and experience-driven.

Beautiful harbour

Sydney without a doubt has one of the most picturesque harbours in the world. Just check out the 200km of harbour foreshore via a quick stroll or by ferry in Darling Harbour and you’ll agree. Every day, there will be people cruising or sailing in their boats, swimming at a beach or just picnicking at one of the islands.

The Centennial Park

This leafy grand park is where Sydneysiders and tourists go for a run or just to chill while picnicking. Lots of parents have their children’s birthday parties there on the weekends and it’s got sporting grounds, ponds, formal gardens, statues and even historical buildings.

Sydney weather

Sydney also has some of the best weather in the world. For one, it has an extensive summer season with plenty of days with sunshine and a pleasant winter.

Markets

Head to Crown St Markets or Kirribilli Markets for shopping galore of designer brands. There’s also the Marrickville Markets if you’re looking to pick up a quick lunch – there are a plethora of options with so many food stalls to choose from. Head to Manly during summer nights for a bite to eat and go for dancing.
