Harbour City — The World's Most Beautiful Urban Waterfront
Sydney is one of the world's great cities — a sun-drenched harbour metropolis of extraordinary physical beauty, where one of the world's most iconic skylines meets a coastline of golden surf beaches, dramatic sea cliffs, and a natural harbour that Captain Arthur Phillip famously called 'the finest harbour in the world.' Beyond the Opera House and Harbour Bridge postcard views, Sydney is a city of vibrant neighborhoods, world-class restaurants, cosmopolitan beaches, and day trips to one of Australia's most spectacular natural landscapes — the Blue Mountains.
Best time to visit: September to November (spring) and March to May (autumn) offer the best weather — warm and sunny without summer heat and humidity. December to February (Australian summer) is peak beach season with the most sun and the most crowds. June to August is mild and excellent for Blue Mountains hiking.
