Discovered by the English in 1770, Sydney has rapidly developed and
established itself as an economic & financial powerhouse of the
Southern Hemisphere. Sydney was founded on immigration, and to
this day it is a very cosmopolitan city that features dizzying
skyscrapers, an efficient Metro Monorail, and the oldest continuously
running airport in the world. To learn more about Sydney's historical
origins, explore the Australian Museum, which includes a feature on
the city's first inhabitants, the Aboriginals. As well, Sydney's modern
metropolis is full of fantastic shopping destinations such as Pitt Street
Mall, The Galleries, Sydney Central Plaza, & Centrepoint. Plus,
Elizabeth, Castelreagh, and King Streets are known for their
distinctive high-end shops such as Ralph Lauren Polo, Burberry,
Chanel, and Tiffany's.

However, apart from its modern city attractions, Sydney is best known
for its one-of-a-kind twin landmarks, the Opera House and the
Harbour Bridge. The Opera House is a world-renown building that
features five theatres, five rehearsal studios, four restaurants, six
bars, two main halls, and several souvenir shops. Built over 14 years
in three separate stages, the Opera House's unique wind-sail design,
location on the harbour waterfront, and state-of-the-art performance
halls have made it an iconic Sydney symbol across the globe.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is the highest steel arch bridge in the
world and was constructed in 1932. Built during the Great Depression,
the bridge became a symbol of Sydney residents' (or Sydneysiders)
perseverance through tough times and has become a focal point for
many of the city's huge celebrations, including the unforgettable
Sydney New Year's Eve Party. In its current state, the bridge includes
eight lanes of roadway traffic, two railway tracks, a bike path,
footpath, and the famous BridgeClimb, where you can take guided
tours up to the very top of the bridge, at a height of 134 metres.

Being a part of the largest natural harbour in the world certainly has
its charms, and one of Sydney's greatest attractions is its natural
beauty. Starting from the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens, you can
take a short 20 min. trip out to East Sydney where you'll find the
picturesque Bondi Beach, famous for its plentiful year-round surf. Also,
be sure not to miss Manly Beach, a long strip of beautiful sand just
across from Sydney Harbour on the Northern Beaches of Sydney.
While in the North Harbour, be on the lookout for the city's small warm
weather penguins. After a day on the beach, you can explore
Sydney's exciting nightlife at King's Cross, Darling Harbour, or The
Rocks.

If you're planning on exploring this fun city for yourself, considering
staying at the Rydges World Square Sydney, a relaxing hotel that is
right in the heart of the Central Business District. Formally the Avillion
Hotel Sydney, the Rydges World Square features doorstep-access to
the World Square Monorail, connecting you to great city attractions
like Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour, Sydney
Entertainment Center, and the shopping and financial sectors of
downtown. Plus, the hotel is a great place to kick back after a day in
the city, with high speed & secure wireless internet access,
fully-equipped fitness center, electronic safes, and cozy Dream© beds.
On your next Sydney vacation, stay like a Sydneysider at the Rydges
World Square, an accommodation that embodies the friendly,
laid-back charm of the city.

The Rush
By Dave Winter

If you're feeling like you're a bit overwhelmed with
the pressures of the big city, it might be time to
experience a big city without all the stress. In
Sydney, Australia the residents carry a unique
laid-back lifestyle that seamlessly meshes with the
distinctive high style, ultra-modern, & eco-friendly
surroundings. Home to the largest natural harbour
in the world, Sydney experiences an average of
300 days of sunshine, exudes a friendly charm, and
bursts with creative energy (home to artists like
AC/DC, INXS, & Natalia Imbruglia). Plus, the city is a
frequent stop for international tours with acts such
as The Police, Elton John, The Killers, & Justin
Timberlake.
