Quick Facts!

Sydney is Australia's most populous city and home to close on 4.5 million people, and about 1.5 million people who were born overseas, so you'll love how cosmopolitan and rich the cultural opportunities are. From food to fashion to entertainment you have a multi-cultural masterpiece at your feet.
