Quite remarkably, traces of human activity have been dated as far back as 30,000 years in the Sydney region. However, the history of the city begins with the onset of colonialism. Colonialism came to Australia when the English needed a new place to send their prisoners.

The name Sydney was given to the city by Arthur Phillip, who was responsible for establishing the colony. A lot of the city was built in the early 19th century by prison labour. Sydney became a city in 1942, and the 1890s, the colonies of Sydney formed a federation of the Commonwealth of Australia.

However, significant developments in the city only started during World War II, when Sydney got involved in the war, too, because of Britain. The industrial requirements of the war gave a boost to Sydney's employment and economy. The city built on this and grew throughout the rest of the 20th century, becoming the metropolis it is today.

The best time to visit Sydney is during Spring (September - November) or Autumn (Mid-February to May), which also coincides with its Shoulder Season. The lack of summer season crowds combined with pleasant weather conditions makes these months perfect for relaxing and exploring the city. It is also the best time to take part in outdoor activities as you’ll avoid the summer heat and humidity. The costs of travel and accommodation are also considerably lesser during Spring and Autumn when compared to the peak summer season. The city is excessively and uncomfortably crowded during the summer. Winter sees the low season for tourism and is also the time for the cheapest deals on travel and accommodation. Apart from the weather, Sydney hosts a plethora of exciting events, including the most popular New Year celebrations. There can be a surge in tourism during significant events. Travellers are advised to make their bookings in advance if they are planning to attend or take part in any of Sydney’s festivals or celebrations. November to March is the best time to visit Sydney’s beaches and for any water-related activities.
