Frequently Asked Questions about Sydney
What food can I expect to eat in Sydney?
Diversity is the name of the game when it comes to eating in Sydney. The choice of fine dining restaurants is limited only by the imagination, with the world’s top chefs delivering diverse menus for every palette. The fact that there’s such a range of styles and influences is directly related to the presence of a large immigrant population (particularly from Asia) and the availability of Australian produce. Sydney is a region particularly known for its rock oysters. The popular Australian 'barbie' is as much about meat on a barbecue as it is an excuse to have a social occasion.
Is Sydney a densely populated city?
Sydney is the largest city in Australia, and thus it does attract many people to its precincts for work. There are 22 000 people living in central Sydney and 4 million in the greater Sydney area. The city’s working population is around 10 times its residential population. Sydney’s CBD is smaller than those of many other cosmopolitan cities.
Where can I shop in Sydney?
In addition to the huge selection of department stores and shopping centres present on nearly every block in Sydney, there are some wonderful markets where you can buy anything from clothes to furniture and fresh produce. Shops are open from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday, and 9am to 4pm on Saturdays.
Where can I find places of worship?
Sydney is a multicultural and interdenominational city promoting all religions and belief systems. The main religion in Sydney is Christianity, but you will find mosques and synogogues, as well as Chinese and Baha’I temples, throughout the city.
