Sydney City Review: Sydney, Australia

Sydney is one of the worlds iconic cities and is a must visit for everyone.  With it’s famous beaches and stunning harbour Sydney is a playground to enjoy the outdoors and plenty of culture on offer. Having lived here for 5 years I am excited to share with you some of my highlights and also to research some new and interesting things to do.

Sydney is the capital of New South Wales and hosted the very successful 2000 Olympic games and there are still many sporting arena’s that attest to this like ANZ stadium and the Dunc Gray velodrome.  There are even sections of the marathon’s blue line that can be seen in Centennial Park in the Eastern Suburbs.  

Sydney has many iconic vista’s but none more so than the Sydney Opera House and Harbour bridge. Sydney has been the setting for many movies like Mission Impossible II and the Matrix. Fox studios is where the movie magic happens and can be found in the entertainment quarter at Moore Park, close to the Sydney Football stadium andSydney Cricket ground.

Here's a breakdown of year round activities:

Beaches - Sydney has an abundance of white sandy beaches, beautiful surf and a magical climate to make the most of them.  This list is by no means exhaustive as there are just too many to talk about and they are all great.  Closest to the city is world famous Bondi Beach which is a popular destination year round with a happening energetic atmosphere this is a must visit for everyone. They have outdoor cinema, loads of great restaurants and bars there is something for everyone.  My picks are the Beach Burrito Company and the North Bondi RSL on the north side serving up great food at good prices, the Beach Road Hotel a couple of blocks back from the beach for watching sport and Bondi Social on the south end for a fantastic dinner with unbeatable view over Bondi as the Sun sets.  If the surf isn’t for you then Bondi Icebergs could be your scene with a 50 meter laned ocean pool to swim in or relax beside.
