Sydney city sparkles like a jewel, luring migrants with it's heady mixture of incredible natural beauty, sophisticated culture and thriving economic environment.
This major, global cultural and economic centre has been ranked at number 11 in the world for economic opportunity by The Global Cities Index. As well as being a major player on the world stage, Sydney boasts what was labelled by Captain Arthur Phillip in one of his first reports back to England as "without exception the finest harbour in the world". Add to this the 70 gorgeous beaches that can be found on Sydney's coastline, the city's world class entertainment, dining and shopping options and you have yourself a pretty incredible spot.
There are still factors to take into account when considering Sydney as a place to live and work, which include heavy traffic congestion and a comparatively high cost of living. This is somewhat compensated by the fact that workers earn the seventh highest wage levels of any city in the world.
Sydney hosts several world class festivals throughout the year including the famous New Year's Eve celebrations, The Sydney Mardi Gras and The Royal Easter Show.

The verdict: When it comes to lifestyle, entertainment and economic opportunity it doesn't get much better. However, if waiting in traffic and expensive house prices aren't your thing you may want to consider all of your options. Some outer suburbs still offer beautiful surroundings and access to great facilities without the price tag and the congestion.
