Travel Blogger Ryan documents his account of a trip to Sydney, Australia.

One of the beautiful cities in the world, Sydney has always been on top of every travelers must visit list. Sydney tour has been the best tour ever in my life. I am with my 3 friends.

We left early in the morning on the first day from Brisbane to Sydney. When we got there, I was really amazed because I had no idea how different it would be from Brisbane.

Sydney reminded me of New York City. Sydney was busy, flamboyant, and crammed with people that were mostly tourists. Sydney was looking like home and it was definitely a must-visit.

December 3rd, 2012 holidaystravel No Comments »

Sydney is one of the biggest cities in Australia, as well as the capital of the New South Wales state. The city has a population of approximately 5 million, a fact that makes it the most populous city in the country.
Sydney is located on the south-east coast of Australia, facing the Tasman Sea. You might find it interesting that the territory where the city lies today was the first British colony in Australia.

Climate

The city has a temperate climate, which is characterized by mild winters and warm to hot summers. On the other hand, rain doesn’t avoid the area at all, because of its proximity to the Pacific Ocean.
If you want to enjoy a vacation in Sydney, January is the best time to do that, as it is the warmest month of the year and the water of the Tasman Sea reaches pleasant temperatures.

Average temperatures lie between 64 and 79 °F in summer and between 39 and 42 °F in winter, which means that it is rarely cold in Sydney.

Tourist Attractions in Sydney
