Sexy accents and sandy beaches? We must be in Sydney, Australia.
see
The Sydney Opera House is the citys most iconic building. In 2013, ballet, orchestra and opera highlights will include Puccinis La Bohème, Don Quixote, La Sylphide and Carmina Burana. After taking in a show, go downstairs to Opera Bar for champagne, oysters and views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It is the place to see and be seen, and you might even rub elbows with the performers. www.sydneyoperahouse.com
surf
Surfing on Bondi is quintessential Sydney, dude. Novice surfers can take group or private lessons from Lets Go Surfing. It also doesnt hurt that on weekends the beach is packed with PYTs and hard bodies. Top off your fun in the sun with a drink at any one of the charming bars lining the beach. If youre looking for more peace and quiet, head to beautiful, family-friendly Manly beach instead. http://letsgosurfing.com.au
eat
Billy Kwong is an intimate, jewel box restaurant on trendy Crown Street. Its take on contemporary Chinese was inspired by the idea of re-creating a traditional eating house. Sustainability, ethical eating and community are at the core of the philosophy. If this petite boîte is too busy, there are plenty of other options on restaurant row. www.kyliekwong.org
shop
Australian skin care line Aesop is loved by international It Girls like Margherita Missoni, who relies on the brand for her beauty regime. Stop by the Paddington location on Oxford Street to stock up on cult favourites like the Primrose Facial Cleansing Masque. www.aesop.com
