36 Hours: Sydney

Published: November 12, 2006

An itinerary for a 36-hour visit to an Australian city where it's almost always summer ..

A boarding pass to Sydney should come with a warning label: Beware, this city will have you questioning the quality of life in your hometown.

Sydney has managed to skim the best parts of other cities and swirl them into a perfect blend of urban bliss.  At any given time, visitors can enjoy the sun-soaked laid-back vibe of Los Angeles, the cleanliness and efficiency of Geneva, the energizing hustle and bustle of New York City and the Old World charms of London. 

Pair all of that with a unique brand of casual Aussie warmth and you’ve got more than enough to justify the otherwise prohibitively long flight to get there. (snip) ..
