Things to do in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

She's gorgeous, she's glam. She's fast and furious. You'll come to Sydney with high expectations, and it's likely that every one of them will be met. She's blessed with the world's most stunning harbour, and then the government added a couple of magic touches of its own: the Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. The dining scene is first-class, the cultural offerings are superb and there are more sports played and watched here than we can count. The locals work hard and play hard and on weekends, everone heads to the park, pool or the beach where they swim, surf, cycle, jog, or sun worship. They'll grab a (perfectly made) coffee and brunch with friends, then they'll gossip, dissect the latest sports results and complain about the cost of property (where you live is everything here). What can't you miss? Well, to understand Sydney you've got to get out on the harbour (a ferry ride to Watson's Bay or Manly is perfect). Try and catch a performance at the Opera House, have a drink at a pub, eat a "Mod Oz" meal and visit a beach. The rest is up to you!
