Hmmm where to begin? Sydney is a fabulous city, not only because it's on the coast and has the Opera House as a trademark but simply because it is still at a stage where we can call it a metropolitan city but isn't yet so terribly congested. And that is truly the beauty of the city, with lots of green and recreational areas.

But now to some insider tips:
- Do the Harbour Bridge Climb (it's breathtaking)
-Visit the Rocks and eat out in Darling Harbour (the atmosphere is great and relaxed): Restaurant recommendations: Angus Steak House, Jordan's seafood restaurant
- Take the monorail to get around town: Oh at the QVB exit there's an enormous bookshop (if you're looking for a book, they most probably will have it): Kinokunya Bookshop
- Stop at Star City, the QVB (old shopping arcade)
- Visit Tarronga Zoo
- Head to Bondi Beach for a weekend on the beach!
