Things to do in Sydney

Hi!

I've recently moved to Sydney and I'm interested in seeing some sights and getting acquainted with this lovely city. Anyone have some favorites that they would like to share? I'm very interested in all kinds of music and museums. I've actually been quite surprised how different it is here than in the U.S., although I guess it does make sense, as it is a foreign country. I suppose that I assumed it would be a lot more similar since it is English speaking.

I'd love to hear some advice!

Hi, Janet.

I'm guessing from your message that you are probably about my age... somewhere in your 30s. (My clues are that you said "all kinds of music" and you don't quite seem to write like you are in your 20s.)

I have lived in Sydney in the past. I would recommend starting with the Sydney Opera House. As an outsider, it might seem like the equivalent of going to Times Square in NYC or Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, but it's really not. It really is quite amazing, even if you are not a huge fan of opera or classical music.

As far as the museums, I personally think the world of The Australian Museum, which is a natural history museum. It has an interesting twist on science museums and I loved it every time, and I went frequently.

Well, that's a start, as basic as it might seem. I found that the food was wonderful in Sydney, and familiar enough so I didn't really miss American all that much.

Good luck, and let me know if you need a few more places to visit in the future!

Hi Janet,

I have been living in Sydney since 6 weeks and am exploring things to do here. One of my interests is going to concerts (even classic or modern). If you would like to get in touch about this, I would be glad to get a message from you. I'm a german expatriate in the estimated age range.
