Home > Destinations > Sydney, Australia
Sydney is a great city with a world-renowned opera house, overlooking a vibrant, beautiful harbour. The city has more than thirty golden beaches, stretching north and south, all within thirty minutes of the city centre.
In a climate which never really gets cold, life in Sydney is spent outdoors, relaxing on the beach or outside one of the many delightful cafés and restaurants or aboard a boat on the cool blue waters.
Over recent years, many historic buildings and areas have been very tastefully developed and restored, such as Paddington in the eastern suburbs (now protected by the Australian National Trust), with its steeply sloping tree-lined streets, crammed with nineteenth-century houses, trendy boutiques and antique shops, making this area a great place to visit for those who want to step back in time.
Australian seasons are, as you would expect, a complete reversal of those in the northern hemisphere. Unlike other parts of Australia, Sydney never gets too hot or too cold. Visiting Sydney in winter isn’t a problem either. The temperature is often in the high teens or very low twenties. Don’t expect to have to wear much more than a shirt, blouse or light jacket. It’s a very comfortable heat for sightseeing and, in the evenings, the temperature does drop, so a jacket or jumper may be needed.
Whatever time of the year you decide to visit Sydney, you can be assured that you will always leave with wonderful memories.
