Lifestyle and Shopping in Sydney

Sydney is a friendly and cosmopolitan city brimming with wonderful attractions and activities for people of all persuasions.

Sydney is renowned for its shopping, nightlife and restaurants but it also features good entertainment venues, annual events, world-class sports facilities and spas.

Head to Queen Victoria Building for a great variety of designer labels and speciality shops, while the Strand Arcade is the place to find Australia’s hottest local designer labels, boutiques, jewellery stores and beauty salons. For books, Borders in Skygarden centre is the biggest bookstore in the city      and also stocks a great selection of CDs, DVDs and magazines. Visit Glebe market on Saturdays and Bondi market on Sundays for a good selection of clothing, arts and crafts, and second-hand goods.

With everything from rock and jazz music clubs, to hip and happening clubs and bars, Sydney’s got it all when it comes to nightlife and expats relocating here will have a great tie discovering all the city has to offer. Head to Darling Harbour, Oxford Street and The Rocks for the best nightlife in the city.
