There are several reasons to contemplate a visit – or possibly a permanent relocation – to this year-round, sunny seaside jewel, which was recently voted fifth most livable city in the world.

We should definitely point out that Melbourne came in a bit higher (Melbourne was placed second, while Vienna took the number one spot this year), but we’re still determined to raise the Sydney flag high in this part of the world.
