The museums and shopping markets are prime examples of how the city showcases everything from every corner of Earth. But this diversity goes way beyond the looks of the region, the people here are also from different parts of the world, making it an inclusive, friendly and culturally-rich city you ought to experience.

The dishes come here with an element of fun, if you are sunning at Bondi, you can enjoy the tropical food and drinks offered here and if you're wandering around The House, then you might as well get a taste of the classy diners nearby like Bennelong or Quay. Sydneysiders love their coffee and you can see it in their different variations. Enjoy different coffee variants at the Da Capo Courtyard Cafe and Barista Coffee before heading to the Bottom of the Harbour for some seafood!
