Sydney

Where the old meets the new

The magnificent Sydney Opera House looks like a big sailboat built out of folded paper, placidly floating in the harbour. The view from the Sydney Tower Eye is extraordinary and an excellent opportunity to examine the city at a glance. You can't help getting lost through the cobbled lanes of the Rocks district and having fun with street artists at the Circular Quay, not to mention a visit to the beautiful Museum of Contemporary Art. The Australian city where the old successfully meets the new.
