Sunny, seductive Sydney is a high contender for the title of the world's most ideal city. A city of breathtaking beauty this sprawling metropolis

offers everything to everyone. The city also occupies a quite breathtaking natural aspect, from the blue waters of the harbour to the mountain range

of the Great Dividing Range that rises away to the West. The Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge make the harbour one of the most impressive city vistas anywhere, easily comparable to San Francisco or

the Manhattan skyline for sheer wow-factor.

CLIMATE

The summer season (November to March) is the most popular time to visit Sydney with temperatures regularly hitting the mid-30s. November

and March are favoured by visitors wanting sunshine without the searing heat. Winter days can also be warm, regularly in the 20s, but can also be

damp and chilly. Winter nights are likely to be cold.
