Our Reasoning

Sydney is the capital city of the state of New South Wales, and is the most populous city in Australia. Located on Australia's east coast, the metropolis surrounds Sydney Harbour and extends about 80 kilometres (50 mi) from the Pacific Ocean in the east to the Blue Mountains in the west, and about 80 kilometres (50 mi) from Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park and the Hawkesbury River in the north and north-west, to the Royal National Park and Macarthur in the south and south-west. Student travelers will love Sydney for its incredible value and non-stop entertainment. Budget accommodation starts from just from $90/night per night, while street food and local restaurants keep daily costs remarkably low. Free and cheap city activities are abundant, and a thriving backpacker scene ensures you are never exploring alone. Student discounts are available at many major attractions, so always carry your student card.
