A colourful and cosmopolitan city

Sydney, the capital of the state of New South Wales, is the oldest city in Australia. Surrounding one of the most spectacular harbours in the world and flanked on three sides by large wilderness areas. It offers citizens and visitors enchanting park-lands and beaches, world-class shopping facilities and restaurants, and great late night bars and clubs.

With a population of over four million, Sydney is a vibrant, multicultural city boasting world-class cultural and educational institutions, and is the commercial heart of the nation. It’s no surprise Sydney is the number one destination for overseas tourists.
