About Sydney
Sydney is the most popular city in Australia. Sydney is the state capital of New South Wales. It is a metropolitan area with population around 4.28 million.
Sydney is a major international tourist destination notable for its beaches and twin landmarks: the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. The metropolitan area is surrounded by national parks, and contains many bays, rivers and inlets.
Sydney has a seductive outdoor lifestyle, exciting events and great natural beauty. This cosmopolitan city is surrounded by the iconic beaches, World Heritage areas, lush hinterland and acclaimed wine regions of the State of New South Wales (NSW).
It has been recognised as a global city by the Loughborough University group's 1999 inventory.[3] The city has played host to numerous international sporting events, including the 1938 British Empire Games, 2000 Summer Olympics and the 2003 Rugby World Cup. In September 2007, the city is hosting the leaders of the 21 APEC economies for APEC Australia 2007, and in 2008 will host World Youth Day.
Sydney is comfortable to visit at any time of year, but unless you enjoy humidity, broken by the odd torrential downpour, keep away in summer. Autumn is delightful, especially around March and April, with clear, warm days and mild nights.
