About Sydney
Sydney, state capital of New South Wales and Australia's largest city, is known for its iconic landmarks such as the harbour bridge and Opera House, with its distinctive sail-like design.
Darling Harbour and the smaller Circular Quay port are hubs of waterside life, with the arched Harbour Bridge and esteemed Royal Botanic Garden nearby. Sydney Tower’s outdoor platform, the Skywalk, offers 360-degree views of the city and suburbs.
Located on the east coast, the population of the city stands at just under 5 million and the metropolis sprawls towards the Blue Mountains to the west.
Residents of Sydney are known as "Sydneysiders". Sydney is the second official seat and second official residence of the Governor-General of Australia and the Prime Minister of Australia and many federal ministries maintain substantial presences in Sydney.
