Craig HillSydney named number one city
October 18th 2006 09:57
Apparently Sydney was named the number one city in the world by a magazine by the name of Conde Nast Traveler out of the USA. It has held the title in this magazine for the last ten years, which is quite surprising to me.
Another popular travel magazine, Travel and Leisure, has recently demoted Sydney to number two, with Florence taking the number one spot. I've never been to Florence, so I wouldn't like to comment on whether or not this was deserved. I also don't really care.
I am not sure what criteria these decisions were made on. Having not been to that many cities in the world, I don't know whether there are better cities or not across the world.That said, though I haven't lived there, I would think Melbourne was a better city and that is just within this country. Okay it doesn't have the harbour or beaches Sydney has, but surely there are cities across the world which have more arts, culture, food, nightlife and provide more value for money than Sydney does.
Not very patriotic of me is it?
