Advantages: It's SYDNEY, y'know the one with the opera house and the bridge?
Disadvantages: It's a city that not only sleeps but also stops eating hours before bedtime

...a nosy round a few touristy shops, peek into various museums and generally explore. The SYDNEY (AMP) TOWER is a suitable alternative to the Bridgeclimb for the views it offers, and is a fraction of the price. Handily, it's located in the centre of the centre, near Hyde Park and with a shopping mall underneath. Excellent. The CONTEMPORARY ART GALLERY and ART GALLERY OF NEW SOUTH WALES are both well worth visiting, and are free. The first has some slightly dodgy pieces of 'art' (like some eggs being fried by giant coconut looking men which is supposed to be an interpretation of Australians 'frying' at the hands of the Bali Bombers) but also has some more normal ones, and the second has a suitable mix of more traditional pieces from Australia and abroad. It's also located next to the BOTANICAL GARDENS so you can go for an explore afterwards... Read review

Advantages: Relaxing atmosphere
Disadvantages: none

...Hyde Park is one of the best things about London. It is a nice break to walk through it after the hustle and bustle of Oxfors Street or Picadilly Circus both of which are within walking distance of the park. As a squirrel lover, I used to go to Hyde park with a bag of peanuts and entertain myself watching the squirrels have a laugh at the gullible peron that made their job of gathering food a whole lot easier. There are many a photo of me in some tourist's album with a squirrel eating out of my hand at Hyde Park. Aside from this distraction, there is of course Speakers Corner, at which one can listen to a whole lot of garbage or interesting new ideas and theories dpending on whose side you are on. This happens only on Sundays though. You shouldn't miss Hyde Park if you are ever in London.... Read review
