With its striking coastline and harbour, Sydney is known as one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Are there any secluded harbour beaches you care to share?

Which backstreet cafes would you really recommend for brunch?

Or maybe they just need a friendly heads up that they'll have to visit Taronga Zoo to see a kangaroo.

Because Sydney's a damn special place, and our visitors deserve to see it at its best.
