Tourism is a major industry. A must for tourists are the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, Watsons Bay, The Rocks, Sydney Tower, Darling Harbour and the Royal Botanic Gardens.

Sydney is a top global city, one of the most liveable cities in the world and one of the top fashion capitals. The major world fashion brands make the inner-city an unsurpassed shopping experience.
