In the southeast of Australia, there is perhaps the most wonderful city on this continent, the most diverse, combining marvelous beaches, and quarters of a large metropolis, and ancient monuments.
The city of Sydney was founded at the end of the 16th century by a group of the first colonists who arrived from distant Britain. Since those ancient times, a small settlement of convicts has turned into a huge bustling city. An unusually appropriate and attractive combination of modernity and wilderness attracts crowds of tourists here. But having been there once, it is impossible to appreciate and understand what kind of city Sydney is, and many of the guests strive to return to this wonderful place again and again in order to study its history as deeply as possible, see all the sights, find new entertainments, which, by the way, the city never ceases to amaze.
When to go to Sydney
You can visit this wonderful city at any time of the year, because the hot sun shines here for 300 days out of 365 and you can safely swim. Even during the Australian winter, which begins in mid-June and ends in August, the air temperature does not drop below 14 ° C, even on the coldest days.
In summer, the air warms up to 40 degrees and life spills over to marvelous beaches, and residents and guests return to the city only at midnight to visit cozy cafes and restaurants. Fans of noisy parties and clubbing in Sydney will also have something to do with themselves - they have a wide range of entertainment of this kind at their disposal.
But those who have already visited Sydney once know that the best time to relax here is autumn, that is, the period from March to May. The influx of tourists at this time is much less, and the sea and the sun are still warm enough to sunbathe on the beach and swim.
