Sydney vs Melbourne: Comparing Australia's Best Cities!

[@TRIPXTREME]

Which is your favourite Aussie city to visit - Sydney or Melbourne? 🇦🇺

[@JohnProsciutto]

I live about an hour from Melbourne and I’ve been to Sydney before, Sydney is nice but there’s no place like Melbourne :)

[@shin267]

I live in Perth. I enjoy going to Sydney for a holiday because it’s a uniquely beautiful and well designed for tourists. Melbourne seems like a great place to live

[@Andrew-df1dr]

Melbourne is impossible to get lost in. If you miss one turn off, you just take the next road and double back.

[@MrDredd1966]

Melbourne is Australia's largest capital city by population now..

[@NickStevens-o7n]

Greater Sydney area with Newcastle and Illawarra in close proximity, trumps Melbourne and Geelong.

[@NoTaboos]

So what? Is that supposed to be good? Melbourne traffic is now much worse than Sydney.

[@barnowl.]

Melbourne has the most extensive tram network in the world. Melbourne has three beaches closer to the CBD (Central Business, including retail, District) than Sydney. They are Port Melbourne, Sandridge and St. Kilda beaches. It also has a far bigger retail CBD than mentioned. The narrator did not mention that Melbourne has a HUGE Bay , Port Phillip Bay, which is many times bigger than Sydney Harbour and used for various types of recreation. He also did not mention the Arts Centre and Hamer Hall for Arts-centered shows and the number of beautiful show theatres around the city. Melbourne was once the richest city in the world due to the goldrush in the countryside in the 1850s. As a result there was extensive, well-planned infrastructure and gorgeous architecture built in that period. Melbourne has kept those buildings and many laneways with interesting features to explore whereas, whereas Sydney pulled those down. Melbourne's skyscraper architecture is unique and interesting. Melbourne is known as the Arts, Cultural, Sports and Garden capital of Australia. It is renowned for its coffee culture cafes. Yarra (River) is an aboriginal word and is pronounced Y a (as in hat) rr (pronounced softly) a (as in up). All along the Yarra River, which winds through Melbourne, to the Ports area and then out to the Bay which empties into Bass Straight sea., is lots of recreation and eating-dining activities. While Melbourne's weather is sometimes said to be 'four seasons in one day', generally it follows seasonal patterns. Just layer clothing on or off as needed. Sydney is a show-off and Melbourne has substance and now in the most populous city in Australia. Melbourne is a classy, vibrant, clean, exciting and friendly city and I love living here !

Simple answer is Melbourne is overall great place to live compared to Sydney , best for culture and best for the ppl who like watching live sport . But in a tourist point of view the unique architecture of Sydney the sky line and iconic land Marks and the ferry rides for site seeing its far ahead of Melbourne. I’d prefer to live in Melbourne which has great cultural diversity and slightly economical compared to Sydney and also as a sport fan watching live sport. But I prefer to go holiday for Sydney its best tourist attraction of Australia.

WTF? Melbournes nightlife beats sydneys hands down. Sydney is renowned for having no nightlife. Just ask its locals.

Sydney is the good room in your house. You have all the fancy things you want to show off but that’s it. Melbourne is the family room where you want to kick back, relax, explore, chill and have great fun. Melbournes night life is light years ahead of Sydney. Sydney’s night life died over a decade ago with lockout laws. It’s a shadow of its former self.

[@toby9999]

Climate can also play a role if you're going to stay. In my case, I hate hot whetther, so Melbourne wins for me on climate. I love the chargeable whether and the cloudy skies through winter. Sydney can have hot days even in winter. Yuck.

[@kingsimba9513]

Lmao Melbourne's public transport beats Sydney's? What a joke. Unlike Myki, you don't need the physical public transportation card (Opal) to tap on and off. Any contactless payment system works, whether it's a credit/debit card, digital wallets, or other apps such as Apple/Samsung pay. Further, Sydney's rail network spans a much larger geographic area AND is more frequent with trains arriving every 10 min during off-peak, whereas in Melbourne it's every 15-20 min. The only real pro Melbourne has is the free tram in the CBD, but short distance trips outside are more expensive than in Sydney as fees are charged by Zones, not distance. Finally, the gap in public transport will continue to widen once Sydney Metro finishes. Phase 2 is set to launch in a couple of months whereas Melbourne's metro project is forecasted to take decades to complete.

[@barnowl.]

Melbourne's train system has improved and the nearly finished new underground addition to that network will also speed up train times to every few minutes for arrivals and departures. The Myki system IS contactless. Melbourne's tram system is the MOST EXTENSIVE in the WORLD. Prices for public system travel in Melbourne and its state of Victoria are far cheaper than Sydney and its state of New South Wales. Most tourists generally stay in the CBD area and Melbourne has a FREE TRAM system there.

[@kingsimba9513]

@@barnowl. The two most important aspects to any public transport system are range and frequency. All of your yapping is irrelevant as long as Melbourne falls behind Sydney in both.

[@barnowl.]

@@kingsimba9513 Get some manners. regarding your term 'yapping' . You are a rude person !

[@7950Kara]

What rubbish, melbourne metro will open next year not decades.. The question is not frequency and range but how easy is it to get around. Sydney very difficult melbourne very easy. Cost, free cbd tram network and that you can only be charged a maximum of two full fares per day. Rural travel by train has been capped at under $10 one way fro anywhere in the state.

[@togetherwithalice6877]

[@Soundmaster91]

The transportation section in this video is very misleading. NSW's Opal card is the same as Melbourne's, except you can get it anyway for $0 and just top. To add to that you don't even need to get one in Sydney, you can tap with your Visa or Mastercard. Not only this the system works across the entire state for intercity trains or buses as well. So when you venture out of Sydney to Wollongong, Newcastle or the Blue Mountains its all the same system. Melbourne's trams are the best out there, and Sydney's trains are just as extensive, include the new Metro system it is very easy to get anywhere in Sydney. If you're in the CBD both Melbourne and Sydney have a tram network, and Melbourne's free trams make it super easy if you stay in the CBD.

[@BarryJTaylor]

Melbourne!!! Surely it is Sydney vs Brisbane!

[@tl2192]

Melbourne food and culture much nicer

I graduate next year with my associate degree and it's work from home I REALLY think I'm going to step out of my comfort zone and visit Melbourne and if it's fine then hopefully stay for a year or two. I want to try something different I'm such a scary cat I NEVER EVER TRAVEL!!!

If you want to eat out in Sydney- you need to go to the inner suburbs, rather than the CBD. You will find similar diversity in cuisine.

[@googler-bn1ro]

you mean western suburbs, the best ethnic food is there

@@googler-bn1ro It depends on what you are looking for. Marrickville has some pretty good food.

All due respect I'm very surprised safety was not included in this. I think more so than ever whether you're traveling or looking to move to an area overall safety statistics play a huge part in that

[@k.vn.k]

This video is old. You don’t need Opal card to travel in Sydney. Any Visa/Mastercard works perfectly to tap on/off.

[@stephengleeson458]

Actually, by the significant urban area measure Melbourne is a larger city, by population, than Sydney!

[@NoTaboos]

I grew up in Sydney, and have lived in Melbourne for the last 20 years. There is one simple huge difference which no one seems to talk about. It is summed up in one word: NATURE ! If you are interested in Australian nature, Sydney has a "great outdoors"; Melbourne does not. Sydney is surrounded by beautiful national parks, right on its doorstep, offering superb bushwalking and wildlife-watching, especially the fantastic native flowers and birdlife. To reach any decent national park from Melbourne, you would need to drive at least 3 hours from the city centre. All this beautiful nature overflows into the Sydney suburbs, which are much lusher due to Sydney's higher rainfall. Melbourne's dry suburbs and parks offer mostly European trees and a few introduced pest birds. Sydney has 3 major estuarine systems (Pittwater, Sydney Harbour, Port Hacking) giving it a stunning scenic coastline, and offering fantastic fishing, snorkelling, scuba diving, and boating. Of course the real surf beaches add to the nature experience of Sydney. None of this can be found in Melbourne. So, after you have had your fill of all the Melbourne restaurants & cafes, and all the totally man-made entertainment that Melbourne is so proud of, where do you go on a sunny day for a little nature soul food? Where can you escape to in less than an hour where unspoilt natural beauty is free? Nowhere. Melbourne lovers are generally pure city people who couldn’t care less about nature. Well, I couldn’t care less about sport or coffee. I feel totally trapped in Melbourne.

[@gregquan5647]

Melbourne is the largest city in Australia. The fact you opened with a wrong stat makes this video ridiculous and you need to go back and do your research mate. Honestly.
