Sydney vs Melbourne, who is best?

Travel Info
Overall, which city would you say is the best to LIVE in?

Travel Tips

Just like most things it's subjective.

If you want a city with culture then it's got to be Melbourne. They have the best theatre, festivals, art galleries, restaurants, hey people even dress up when they go out.

Sydney on the other hand is great because of the harbour and fantastic beaches. Though it's not the sporting capital, that's Melbourne.

Both cities are great to live in, offering different things to different people. I personally like Melbourne people more because they are friendly and seem to be more in touch with what's going on in the world, plus they accept outsiders much easier than Sydney people who seem to really enjoy their cliques.

I鈥檇 prefer to live in Melbourne than Sydney, but have lived in Sydney most of my adult life, coz it鈥檚 where the better career opportunities are for my industry.

Why not spend some time in both and then make up your mind.

Melbourne
SYDNEY
BRISBANE, period.
I'm not sure either of them would be on my list as i traveled through both cities on my way to the gold coast 12 years ago and i did not think they would be places i would want to stay, but if i was to choose one of them it would have to be sydney.
I got lost traveling through melbourne, because of lack of road signs and lack of help from the locals, the only ones that helped me out with directions to get out of melbourne were interstate truckies that did not live in victoria.
both aussie cities have unique beautiful features but melbourne is cheaper in their way of living
Melbourne of course
