Sydney is spectacularly built around the hills, fingers and coves of a brilliant blue harbour, Port Jackson, the heart and soul of the city. The U-shaped Circular Quay is the centre of most action. There, modern office towers, art deco architecture and iconic buildings such as the magnificent white-shelled Opera House, blend with the cobbled streets and colonial buildings of The Rocks, a rich reminder of Sydney's convict heritage. For the culturally minded, a performance at the Opera House should not be missed. For the adventurous, there is a climb up the iron-clad Sydney Harbour Bridge, universally known as 'the coathanger'. For children, a trip to award-winning Taronga Park Zoo is a must. And for hedonists, or anyone who just loves sun, surf and seas, don't forget to take a ferry to Manly or a bus to world-famous Bondi Beach. Continues...
