The unicity of Sydney I thought, when I happened to read a newspaper that two whales were driven into the bay of the city, reaching even the Harbor Bridge. In what other city in the world can happen to attend quest'insolito show? Here is one example of why Sydney can proudly boast of being a city unique. It might suffice, but it is not because the Australian mecca it is today a city of trend, lifestyle and increasingly cosmopolitan. The Sydneysiders, the citizens of Sydney, knows how to enjoy life and there is to wonder: "How not to do with the sun all year round, in the midst of golden beaches and beauties in bikinis?"
The tourists have come to understand the air of celebration that hovers in quest'ineguagliabile capital and each year more and more go here from all over the world.

We admired the 305 meters from the Sydney Tower, from sea level plowing the waves of the bay on which s'adagia but especially walking in his neighborhood: Darling Harbor, The Rocks, Circular Quay and Kings Cross. Just saw this from different points of observation, we can get an idea of the most famous city in Australia, it is no accident the seat of the Olympic Games in Australia in 2000.
Since the plane window, identify the two icons of the capital of New South Wales "the Opera House and Harbor Bridge," but what strikes me most is the bay of the city. The sea penetrates inland for miles s'insinua and water everywhere, so the plane Sydney seems a city flooded.

Begin to discover Sydney from Hyde Park where the majestic Anglican church of St. Mary's that is of interest not only because of its size, but also for the strong contrast with the surrounding architectural structures futuristic. Through the gardens of the park, walk down Macquarie Street to arrive at Town Hall, the City Hall. From here we continue for the business district where we walk with our heads in the top fascinated by modern skyscrapers. Running on ourselves with our eyes toward the sky, lap after lap, we come to Circular Quay.
On one of the piers of the Circular Quay ferry c'imbarchiamo to the suburb of South Heads for a ride in the bay. Always sail heading towards the east on what can be defined for all intents and purposes, the metropolitan area of Sydney where, instead of trains and tracks, there are ferries and sea. The ferry go up and down continuously, stopping at various stations that are not gloomy underground tunnels, but quiet sandy coves where people take the sun or is to make a picnic by the sea and where hundreds of sailboats moor, ready to rise towards the open sea. Sea water is clear and if only we had costume and towel could stop at any of the bays to swim. Of the more than 30 beaches in Sydney, Bondi is the most trendy, but also those within the bay less large and known not disappoint. Populated by trendy restaurants, villas and dream yachts of wealthy gentlemen, seem small area are the suburbs of Sydney. Here, far from the center, the horizon of the bay is drawn from profiles of the Skyline, of the Harbor Bridge and Opera House that seems like a great ship with white sails to the wind explained.

Now that we are under to the Opera House, the pride of Sydney, you can see the millions of white ceramic tiles of which is covered. Participated in the design more than 230 architects, but in the end, the cue Danish Jorn Utzon. To build just over 32 years ago 'cost thirteen times the original budget, but something worth considering that today the building is set all'Ayers Rock symbol of Australia. 67 meters high, contains 2697 seats and has the peculiarity of having the orchestra placed in the lowest point of the theater, several meters below sea level.
Dall'Opera we head towards the famous bridge over the neighborhood of Rocks originally squallido den of convicts, sailors and prostitutes today is a tourist village made up of narrow cobbled street, colonial buildings, souvenir shops and beautiful restaurants.
The Harbor Bridge, the magnificent bridge that connects the shores of the bay, is called lovingly by the people "coathanger" because it resembles hangers, precisely, to a huge hanger. C'incamminiamo at sunset on the bridge reached the south-east pavilion. This is the pedestrian side and is crossed by many, many pedestrians and simple sport, which transmitted the clothes of leaving their jobs in a suit to return home and keep the shape. Indeed, the bridge connecting the business district with the center. Reached the mighty pylon we stop for photos about Rite House and Skyline.
Crossing the great "highway" in this hour traffic by car, but the movement is orderly, however, and rarely feel playing horn. Dusk climb the Sydney Tower. With a quick lift of charm we are in the middle of an incredible sunset and panoramic open to 360 degrees. From its 305 meters the slender skyscraper is the highest building all over the continent. The terrace is well characterized, once again, the main attractions of the city. The bright lights of the Bay of Darling Harbor, the Harbor Bridge well defined by the lights which is decorated el'illuminatissimo green glow of the House. To the west if it had not already fallen the night would be the profiles of the Blue Mountains.
When you go down tonight, in the meantime the roads were empty, a slight cold and the wind was up. We follow the monorail feature that leads us to Darling coming to Pyrmont Bridge. Since all closed, despite the time not yet late, we return to the hotel. We end up finding ourselves in the place where there seems to be a po 'of life and consume something. Darlinghurst Road A dinner in a room run by a Polish gentleman with whom baste a discourse about our beloved Europe. Behind his valuable suggestions reach up Oxford Street Darlinghurst Road. On these roads there is the dissolute nightlife of the city. Local nightclub striptease and live next to fine restaurants and fashion shops, the people who attend all have one aim the search for fun. We first on one side and then on Oxford Street run away, away in areas assigned to gay pub in which they play local bands and trendy cafes. The word is lounge from place to place. In fact many local authorities have closed since Monday evening, although this movement is enough to realize the character that is growing rampant. Encounter types dressed in nothing short of eclectic, hippies, businessmen concentrate representatives of the human race. Finally at midnight, tired, having turned to walk far and wide throughout the day, we find along the sidewalks of William Street prostitutes and transvestites wait for their customers.

Sydney was a city unique. In what other place is next to futuristic skyscrapers and immaculate sandy beaches? But more than anything in any other city in the world I found so much light and joy of living. In Sydney, the most exciting city in Australia, it was inevitable, more optimistic and happy.
