About Sydney

Sydney, Australia boasts a long and colorful history. Inhabited by Aborigines for approximately 40,000 years, Sydney was first settled by Europeans in 1788, when England's First Fleet arrived with a cargo of prisoners. Intended primarily as a penal colony, today Sydney is a global presence and an international city that is the focus for finance, biotechnology, and information communications technology. Blessed with natural beauty and spectacular beaches, Sydney and New South Wales are an ideal destination for travelers. Even if you haven't visited here before, you'll recognize the iconic, soaring profile of the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. But did you know the 1,337 steps of BridgeClimb offers panoramic city views from the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge? Guests of our Sydney Radisson hotel can tour The Rocks historic district, and enjoy family-friendly entertainment at Darling Harbour and Luna Park. Circular Quay offers ferries to Taronga Zoo, Manly beach and 37 other destinations. While Bondi and Manly Beaches may be the more famous beaches and worth the trip from the Central Business District, don't miss gems like Olympic Park, Watson's Bay and Garden Island. The CBD is home to must-see Sydney attractions that include the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Queen Victoria Building, home of the most beautiful shopping center in Sydney. Our Radisson hotel is the ideal starting point to discover everything that makes Sydney, Australia a world-class city.

Did you know?

Many folks know that Sydney began life as a British penal colony, populated by convicts who often committed crimes as innocuous as petty theft. What most folks don't realize is that the criminals were only sent to Australia once the American colonies ousted the British from their territory. Prior to that, English convicts were shipped across the Atlantic.
