Sydney, the capital city of the state New South Wales, is Australia's most populous city with an estimated 4.2 million inhabitants in its metropolitan area. Located on the southeastern coast, Sydney is built around Port Jackson, a section of Sydney Harbour, hence its nickname "harbour city". Sydney was the first European colony in Australia and subsequently the entryway for innumerable immigrants from all parts of the world. This heritage has made Sydney one of the most multicultural cities in the world. It is acknowleged as a city of global importance and has been host to such important sports events as the 2003 Rugby World Cup and the Summer Olympics in 2000. Sydney isn‘t just Australia's largest financial center and its most expensive city to live in, but also a well-frequented tourist destination with fantastic beaches and world-famous sights including the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
