Top Things to do in Sydney
Top 10 Neighborhoods in Sydney, New South Wales
Sydney offers plenty of historical and contemporary Australian flavor. The marvelous Sydney Opera House looks like a great origami sailboat, floating peacefully in a harbor. Wander the narrow cobblestone streets of The Rocks and then take in a street performance on the Circular Quay before heading into the Museum of Contemporary Art. The views from the Sydney Tower Eye observatory are epic – use this chance to get to know the layout of the city from high above.

Although Melbourne is rapidly closing the gap, Sydney continues to occupy the position as the largest city in Australia. The CBD is home to so many major business headquarters that help define Sydney's financial heart. George Street is the main thoroughfare. As a result of this prominence, the CBD is a hub of constantly intense traffic and congestion and the crush of population involved in conducting business. For the average tourist not stuck in these miserable commutes (enjoying the freedom to miss peak hours of going and coming), it's a cornucopia of tourist attraction delights. The CBD is filled with skyscrapers intermixed with fine old historic buildings and it extends from about Circular Quay, along Sydney Cove, roughly ending a little past the Sydney Opera House. On the north side, Church Hill Street (so named for the prominence of churches and the compulsory requirement of convicts to attend church on Sunday) defines its boundary. Sydney's CBD is home to the 30-somethings of whom 99% live in apartments and rent 66% of those places. For us, the skyline views were ever-changing, according to the time of the day. Hot air balloons rising early in the pre-dawn hours, spectacular lights reflecting in the harbor at evening time, and the mid-day sun highlighting the gleaming structures along the bank of the crystal blue harbor waters. Sydney tends to be pretty humid and temperatures are higher than Melbourne's. Locals tell constant jokes about the mosquitoes (Aragon is their favorite repellant) and how heavy sunscreen has to be laid on. Maybe some of that talk is just to drive us all back home and leave Sydney alone? Sydney's CBD was easily explored from the Marriott's prime location near the Circular Quay.

This street is the life line of Newtown, it has so much to offer the visitors, many many restaurants to satisfy any palette, from thai, to vegan eateries it is all here, the murals add to the gritty ness, as do the colourful characters that live in the area, our fave places was earth thai, dendy cinema and the many op shops,.

Now, we only visited during night time, the colorful surroundings, the bay, the atmosphere then the fireworks, was something really worthy. I’m sure if I visit it during the day will not be the same experience.
