The country's most diverse and cosmopolitan city, Sydney, offers the perfect blend of city, beach, and nature, with hundreds of beaches and national parks nearby.

In your free time, you will have ample opportunities to attend one of many cultural events around the city, take a ferry ride to Manly Beach, hike one of the area's 250+ national parks, and much more.
