Sydney
Sydney is the perfect place to mix business with pleasure. This world-class city buzzes with the extroverted energy of a city that means business - yet this is combined with a sizeable helping of laidback good humour. Set on the shores of one of the world's most photogenic harbours, Sydney is home to Australia's two most famous icons - the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. Sydney has a tremendous array of business venues and accommodation at your disposal. As a business visitor to Sydney, you have the opportunity to host a gala event at the Opera House, or host a 'dine-around' dinner at a number of Sydney's harbourside restaurants. By day, there are thousands of top class shops and attractions awaiting you. And by night, the city shines with a vibrant electricity, with restaurants, bars, and nightclubs springing to life. When it comes time to relax by the water, Sydney has everything you need. Want to build some team spirit with a game of beach volleyball or an ironman challenge? Or maybe you would prefer to take a trip out on a catamaran or a yacht? Sydney can offer anything a business visitor could possibly desire.
