Once a British colony of exiled convicts, Sydney has grown into Australia's most diverse and cosmopolitan city with an exciting food, arts, and entertainment scene.
Other attractions include the Sydney Mardi Gras, Royal Botanical Gardens, Luna Park, the beaches, and Sydney Tower. The Sydney New Year's Eve fireworks attract more than 1.5 million visitors to Sydney Harbour annually.
Modern Sydney is home to one of the world's most culturally diverse populations. There is a strong presence of East Asian and South Asian diasporas, contributing to Sydney's growing reputation for showcasing Asian contemporary art.
