Founded by British and Irish convicts, Sydney is the oldest, largest and most diverse city in Australia. Some would also argue it is the most attractive city both in physical landmarks and its population. But the ingrained pride and self confidence of its people is more of a testament to the city’s earliest roots than the copious bottles of blonde hair dye reported used by the image-conscious residents.

The adventures of the city extend from the restaurants and activities to the wildly curving streets and avenues. Get lost in the beat of the live music scene as easily as you get lost trying to find your way back to your hotel after a long night of sampling the huge variety of clubs, pubs and restaurants the city offers.

When in Sydney, your days will be spent outside – walking among galleries of Aboriginal art, swimming in the Bondi surf, sailing about the harbor or jogging along the Coogee cliff tops in an attempt to clear your mind from your indulgences the night before. Your evenings are just as likely to be in the elements with swarming street fairs, riotous cafes and the undeniably attractive residents walking by in the prime of life.

In fact, there is little in Sydney that isn’t in its prime. The people invigorate themselves with good health and fun and the city reflects this – it might be considered a “sin city” of sorts, but if living life to the fullest is a sin, you might readily call yourself a sinner soon after arriving.
