Not surprisingly Sydney brainwashed cause the rest of Australia. Like New York, London and Berlin, is a place that attracts everyone who has something interesting to say. Best muses, foodies, actors, stockbrokers, models, writers and architects go en masse to the Eternal City Port to make their mark, and the effect is dazzling: a hyper-energetic and ambitious soul market, where everything can pass and usually happens.
Of course the stage for all this activity is as essential as the activity itself. The glittering Sydney Harbour is the most appreciated well, while ocean beaches and parks are home to lavish as much life as urban streets. You have to add bars, pubs ragged, sympathetic cafes and restaurants with glass walls to the equation, and a city that has the perfect balance between interior and exterior, natural and artificial is achieved.
Take a peek and think about what kind of inconvenience will get: mingle with radioentusiastas Bondi, gobble chicken legs in the Chinese District, then burst your credit card Paddington, take hundreds and hundreds of beers in Balmain , make the queue to get tickets to the Sydney Opera House and ignore the arrival of sunset at the club Kings Cross. Sensual, energetic and confident inescapably, Sydney is the Bonfire of the Vanities waiting for the flame lights.
Sydney - Points of interest

Museum of Contemporary Art / MCA
The MCA imposing art deco, which is like a part of Gotham City in Circular Quay West, has surprised even the people more open psyche from Sydney in 1991. constantly displaying controversial Australian and foreign works ranging from the most amazingly front, the sexually explicit to the most deeply rugged. Amazing. There is a modern cafe and a museum shop too.
Sydney Harbour Bridge
So whether you are driving, scaling it, walk on it skateboarding or surfing under him, the citizens of Sydney love their bridge and walk around it like ants on sugar. Nicknamed the "old coat rack" no longer a big strange object moving close to the city and when you least expect will be on your side and will do take a huge scare. Perhaps the versista Sydney Kenneth Slessor expressed it best: "Day and night, the bridge trembles and echoes like a living being."
Important statistics: 134 meters high, 502 meters long, 49 meters wide and fifty-three tons. The massive bridge linking the CBD with North Sydney, across the harbor at one of its narrowest points. 2 halves powerful bow designed by engineer JJC Bradfield were built abroad for each coast. In 1932, after 9 years of effort by the part of 1,400 workers, only 2 arches were separated by several centimeters when storm winds of 100 km / h made them swing. The coat rack endured and soon the arch was completed. In 2007 the bridge was seventy-five, and more than two hundred fifty people celebrated walking down the major.
The best way to tour the bridge is walking, do not expect to see much if it goes through in vehicle or train (if you drive south face will be toll). Stairs leave access to the bridge from both coasts, and there is a walking trail that crosses the east side.
Sydney Opera
To be admired at the Sydney Opera House, the famous architect Louis Kahn said, "The sun did not know how beautiful was his light until he saw reflected in this building." The design of the Danish architect Jørn Utzon won the competition in 1956 is the most recognizable icon of Australia. Resembling be inspired by orange wedges, palm leaves and Maya temples, and has been poetically compared to a typewriter, with sea oysters and turtles sexual congress. While orgasmic architecture can be seen from any angle, there's nothing quite like the view from the ferry when approaching the Circular Quay.
The construction was planned in four years and began in 1959. After a tumultuous clash of egos, retardas, politicking and conclusive costs declined more annoyances Utzon in 1966. Finally, the Opera opened in 1973. No hard feelings, both Utzon as his son Jan were cited for restorations in two thousand and four, but Utzon died in 2008 without seeing his masterpiece completed. Inside there are 6 auditoriums where dances, concerts, opera and plays, plus the studio left for emerging artists perform. The acoustics are superb, and internal aesthetics simulates the belly of a whale. Most of the events (in 2400 year) quickly exhaust their tickets, but tickets are offered with partial view short notice. The free monthly What's On lists the upcoming features, including information Kids at the House, an entertainment program pint-sized music, art and dance (even introduction to ballet dancers with Australian). There is also a craft shop in the market on the Esplanade Opera.
Guided one hour tours depart every half hour (you can save several airplane if you booked online). Guided tours material used video file to tell the story of the construction of the symbolic building. Utzon room, the only part of the place that has the interior developed by the same artist is highlighted. To get an inside view, the tour behind the scenes of two hours every morning, including the Green Room and the locker artists recommended. Access for people with disabilities is great, although some sections require assistance by the staff (call ahead).
Powerhouse Museum
A short walk from Darling Harbour, the hippie-oriented small museum Sydney emerge within the old power station, and is a part of the now defunct Sydney tram network. Interactive demonstrations of high voltage surprised to school groups with sounds of thunder, magnets and powered engines. Locate the replica watch Strasburg located on level four and guitar that once belonged to the leader of AC / DC, Angus Young, on level two.
Take a map of the museum at the time you enter (you specify) and a free copy of the Sydney Morning Herald when you leave. Access for people with disabilities is great.
The Rocks
The old city of Sydney, in the heart of CBD, the Rocks who used to be a rock-studded environment is now a hallowed tourist precinct. Its narrow cobbled streets and colonial buildings are still beautiful and evocative tea rooms make it the ideal stop for lunch before an afternoon and for gifts. If the bizarre part is ignored, The Rocks can be agreeable. Among the attractions the weekend market, the Sydney Observatory and numerous craft shops and art galleries are included.
But what attracts the tourists are the old buildings, alleys and historical testeras. Try visiting the less developed areas of the neighboring suburb of Millers Point, which would not sacrifice the life of his community for tourist money. Visit Lord N. Brewery Hotel and The Hero of Waterloo, two of the oldest bars in Sydney.
