Sydney is the largest and oldest city in Australia and capital of New South Wales. Situated on what is considered to be one of the world's most beautiful natural harbours, Sydney is a vibrant, multi-faceted, cosmopolitan city that offers more entertainment, shopping and sightseeing than any other place in Australia. The harbour waterfront, with its famous Sydney Harbour Bridge and the iconic Opera House, is a place to go to meet people, eat good food, be entertained and simply enjoy watching all kinds of sailing craft pass by.
