Fly to Sydney

When you get off your Etihad flight to Sydney from Beirut, be ready to soak up all that Sydney has to offer. Sprawling Sydney is sandwiched between the sea and the Blue Mountains. The highlights are in the east and around the harbour, which slices the city into northern and southern halves.

Circular Quay is on the harbour at the northern end of the Central Business District (CBD). It's the main ferry hub and home to the Opera House plus many restaurants, souvenir shops and street entertainers.

Sydney is arguably the world's most photogenic city. Sydney Harbour is lined with attractions, islands, beaches and National Parkland - as well as the famous Opera House and Harbour Bridge. But beyond the harbour happy snaps, there's a remarkable amount to keep visitors occupied. Children and adults alike love the beaches and wildlife, as well as the outdoorsy lifestyle.

The Greater Sydney area boasts over 100 beaches, from calm harbour strips to surf-pounded coastal icons.

Sydney is a laid-back city that can turn on the sophistication when required with stylish bars and restaurants. At the same time, many of the highlights – such as coastal walks or splashing in the surf – are free.

Sydney is also party city. Dance all night in Kings Cross, go for an arty vibe in the Inner West or drink cocktails by the harbour. Mardi Gras and the New Year's Eve fireworks are the events that the world knows about, but there is always something going on. It's easy to be chilled out in Sydney, but almost impossible to be bored.

Beirut is a compact city, built on a triangular promontory jutting into the Mediterranean Sea with a mountainous backdrop. Follow the coast from west to east for all major sites.

Sophisticated Ras Beirut in the west is home to the American University of Beirut (AUB), the Corniche, Pigeon Rocks (Raouche) and the city's best hotels. Lively Hamra and Bliss streets sit above AUB

Al-fresco living is in the Lebanese DNA. Indulge in avant-garde theatre, open-air concerts, restaurants and dedicated districts for bars and clubs. Listen to the traditional Oud (flute) and smoke the narghileh (water pipe) while admiring the etched windows and art deco touches at the Glass Café, Rue Gouraud, Gemmayzah District.
