Sydney and Melbourne are the two most populous cities of Australia.

Sydney is located on Australia’s south-east coast. The city is built around Port Jackson, which includes Sydney Harbour, leading to the city’s nickname, “the Harbour City”. It is Australia’s largest financial centre and is home to the Australian Stock Exchange. Sydney’s leading economic sectors include property and business services, retail, manufacturing, tourism, and health and community services.

If you happen to visit Sydney, you might want to refer CheaperThanHotels for some great deals on Sydney Hotels, especially the Darling Harbour Hotel. Darling Harbour throbs with activity day and night and has developed into one of Sydney’s largest dining, shopping and entertainment areas.

Melbourne on the other hand is a major centre of commerce, industry and cultural activity. The city is often referred to as Australia’s sporting and cultural capital and it is home to many of the nation’s most significant cultural and sporting events and institutions. Melbourne is notable for its mix of Victorian and contemporary architecture, its extensive tram network and Victorian parks and gardens, and its diverse, multicultural society. CheaperThanHotels has some great deals on Melbourne Hotels as well.
