Australia's largest city, Sydney, is a prime example of how a combination of ancient architecture and ultra-modern skyscrapers can be. The magic of this city lies in the fact that you just have to delve into the streets of Sydney, away from the busy tourist routes, and its whole essence will reveal itself.
George Street
George Street is Sydney's main street and the busiest part of it. It houses old buildings, modern business centers, as well as numerous boutiques, shops and entertainment venues. So, after going through it to the end, you can get an idea of what the city of Sydney is like.
Pitt, Elizabet and Castlereagh St
Also of great interest to tourists. Unlike the main street, they are not so pompous, but there are no fewer interesting establishments here. These streets can be considered an ideal place for cheap shopping, since in general Sydney is a rather expensive city. You can also taste traditional Australian catering here.
Chinatown
Quite a popular place among those tourists who are tired of beautiful sights. You won't be able to take a photo of authentic Australian architecture here, but you can find something that no boutique or supermarket can offer. This quarter is built up so densely that it seems as if it is a real city within a city. Signs in English are rare here, so an inexperienced tourist may well get lost and find himself in a completely unfamiliar place.
The famous King's Cross
For those looking for a thrill in entertainment venues such as nightclubs, strip bars and other hot spots, King's Cross is perfect. True, there is absolutely nothing to do here during the day and at first glance you cannot even say that this area at night transforms into a seething cauldron.
Bly Street
This street is no different. But it is the shortest in Sydney - only 200 meters, and there are only 4 houses there. True, its history is 200 years old, and the buildings are excellent examples of the classical architecture of the colonial period.
