_The international cities loved most this year
This year, more than 600,000 readers participated in Condé Nast Traveler's annual Readers' Choice Awards.
The Condé Nast team described Sydney as "an ideal getaway no matter the season", praising its al fresco dining, outdoor lifestyle and cultural calendar. The magazine goes on to suggest "swim like a Sydneysider in rock pools, and head to Bondi and Redleaf beaches in the summer. In winter, explore the city’s vibrant arts and culture calendar through Vivid Sydney and make time to eat out in Paddington, check out the cool-kid 'hood of Surry Hills, and ferry over to Manly, Australia’s answer to Montauk."
