About Sydney

Sydney abbraccia una scintillante baia naturale, con la celebre opera dal tetto a vele, spiagge dorate da surf e una vita all'aperto rilassata.

L'Opera House e l'Harbour Bridge di Sydney si fronteggiano attraverso Circular Quay, dove i traghetti vanno e vengono. The Rocks, l'antico quartiere coloniale, ha pub di arenaria e mercati nel fine settimana, e il Royal Botanic Garden si curva attorno a Farm Cove fino alla Mrs Macquarie's Chair, per la classica vista su entrambi i monumenti.
