Sydney
Imagine taking off in a seaplane, flying low over one of the world's most spectacular harbors, a mosaic of colorful sailboats. Enjoying the romantic intimacy of a deserted beach, a picnic basket full of gourmet foods and an Australian Chardonnay, the only reminders of the world left behind. It's time to stop dreaming, and just treating yourselves to the ultimate vacation! Sydney, a free spirited, vibrant city built around one of the world's most beautiful harbors, with scores of sparkling beaches within easy reach of its cosmopolitan heart.
Why Sydney
While Sydney is exciting, the natural beauty of the Australian countryside is something to be experienced! Sunny, seductive Sydney is a high contender for the title of the world's most ideal city. It is slick and smart, the streets are clean, the neighborhoods and busy pedestrian precincts pristine, the parks sublime, the water in the huge harbor blue, and the landmark buildings breath-taking. Just like its characteristic white-sailed Opera House, Sydney seems to cruise effortlessly through nights and days filled with myriad entertainment opportunities, sophisticated shopping, memorable museums, and strings of beautiful beaches. Visitors find it exhausting to take it all in, even though the tourist precinct where most of the interesting attractions are to be found is concentrated in quite a small area around the down-town waterfront and harbor area.
