Welcome to Sydney

Located in the south eastern coast of mainland Australia around Port Jackson, it is the capital city of New South Wales. The "Harbor city" Sydney is the most densely populated city of Austra
accommodating over 4.2 million of population.

Places to visit

Sydney Opera House

One of the great iconic buildings of the 20th century, an image of great beauty that has become known throughout the world. As one of the busiest performing arts centres in the world, providing over 1,500 performances each year attended by some 1.2 million people, Sydney Opera House promotes and supports many performing arts companies including the four key resident companies.



Darlin Harbor



It is a large recreational and pedestrian precinct that is situated on western outskirts of the Sydney central business district. The locality extends northwards from Chinatown, along both sides of Cockle Bay to King Street Wharf on the east, and to the suburb of Pyrmont on the west. Cockle Bay is just one of the waterways that makes up Darling Harbour, which opens north into the much larger Port Jacks

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of Australia's most well known and photographed landmarks. It is the world's largest (but not the longest) steel arch bridge with the top of the bridge standing 134 metres above the harbour.
