The largest city in Australia, Sydney is located on the Southeast coast of the country. The mild coastal climate allows for year-round outdoor activity at the nearby beaches, the Blue Mountains and the Hawkesbury River, or in one of Sydney’s many parks and open spaces.

As a major metropolis, Sydney also boasts a vibrant and active cultural scene that includes film/television, live performance, night clubs, museums, and sporting events.

Fun fact: a citizen of Sydney is a “Sydneysider.”
