"A Visit to Sydney" Sydney by Canadienne


Sydney Travel Guide: 7,115 reviews and 12,981 photos

In 1997, while teaching English in South Korea, I used a one week schoolbreak to meet up with my parents in Sydney, Australia.

Taking travel time into account, we only had six days. . .therefore we stayed in the city and simply enjoyed our time together.

Sydney, much like Toronto, is a young, clean, harbour-based city. However, I had the distinst impression that its attitudes and atmosphere had more in common with European capitals.

    Great page. When did you visit Sydney? A bit has changed now, eg Luna Park has now re-opened, and I doubt you can get THAT close to Kirribilli house these days.... Although I could be wrong I should check it out!

    Nice page with some very good tips. I saw only a tiny fraction of this city and would love to return some day!

    I too found attitudes to be very European, which is probably why I've never been that struck on Aus - I like to go places where the culture is completely different. Agree - exotic birds are as common as pigeons would be elsewhere - seeing that was great!
