Sydney
As Australia's largest and most famous city, Sydney
encompasses both striking modern architecture and many
of the country’s most important historical landmarks.
Founded as a colony in 1788, the city now stretches around
the world’s largest natural harbor, reaching towards the
stunning Blue Mountains in the west.
One third of the city’s growing population of 4.8 million
inhabitants were born overseas, making Sydney one of the
most varied and vibrant cities in the world and a magnet for
over three million international visitors every year.
[ “If Paris is the city of lights,
Sydney is the city of fireworks.” ]

The Sydney Opera House is a masterpiece of modern
architecture, and one of the most celebrated buildings of the
20th century. Set against the stunning backdrop of Sydney
Harbor, its shells appear like billowing sails filled by the
sea winds. Since its opening in 1973, the Opera House has
become one of the world’s busiest performing arts centers,
welcoming over 8 million visitors a year and staging almost
2,000 performances annually.

Sydney Harbour Bridge
The Sydney Harbour Bridge, also affectionately known as the
‘Coathanger’, was opened on March 19th, 1932, after six years
of construction. This famous Sydney symbol is constructed
in steel and contains six million hand-driven rivets. The top of
the arch is 439 ft. (134 m) above sea level. The 160 ft. (49 m)
wide deck makes Sydney Harbour Bridge the widest long-
span bridge in the world.

Sydney Tower
The Sydney Tower has been an integral part of the Sydney
skyline for over 30 years. The 1,014 ft. (309 m) tall tower is
the tallest structure in Sydney and its 420 windows allow the
perfect view of the city. If you spent the whole day in the
tower’s observation deck, you would be the first person to
see the sun rise over Sydney and the last to see it set.

Although a recent addition to the Sydney skyline, the
Deutsche Bank Place is nevertheless one of the city’s
most distinctive structures. Completed in 2005, its unusual
design was guided by a narrow building site and the need to
ensure sufficient sunlight for the surrounding public spaces.
Constructed in concrete, glass and steel, the 790 ft. (240 m)
building was designed by the internationally renowned
architects Foster + Partners.
