I'm not from Australia, but I've lived in both cities. Melbourne feels like a "real city", the kind of vibe you get from American movies ( especially those movies set on the North East coast, NY etc ). You can "cosplay" the feeling of those cozy, wintery and rainy romantic movies, with the bars and restaurants and architecture and city skyline all adding to the experience. It has very distinct four seasons, so you can express yourself with seasonal fashion. Art scene and Creativity is great there too. It has more of a European or North East US city feel, but also balances that with a unique Melbourne/Australian feel too, especially with the culture surrounding sport, AFL in particular, so its a great destination for those from Asia ( where i'm from) looking for something different in their region, that feels more "western". But Sydney is visually spectacular, when I arrived there I knew I was in Australia, 100% picture postcard, uniquely Australian. The landmarks are iconic, the harbor and surrounding beaches are magnificent. The weather is near perfection year round (with only a couple real cold days) . It feels more like a Los Angeles kind of city, mixed with San Francisco- but uniquely Australian. It defiantly has a more superficial and narcissistic vibe to it, compared to Melbourne- more like what I experienced in LA. The beachy/surf/healthy lifestyle in Sydney is really fresh and inspirational, it makes you want to eat healthy and exercise. The nightlife is more glitzy and gaudy is Sydney compared to Melbourne, Melbourne is more "Smokey jazz bar" whereas Sydney is more "great Gadsby" . Both great cities in their own right, but i'd sum it up as - Melbourne is an artistic, intellectual, introvert and Sydney is a toned, attractive, extrovert. To each their own.

Melbourne Has more to offer across the board, it's more of city. Sydney can no longer compete, it's the weather that keeps it in the conversation.

@flashdaz05 10 месяцев назад

I actually think the inverse is true. And here’s why: Personally I think Melb’s appeal comes largely because of how condensed it all is. Most ‘attractions’ whether that’s the shopping, the coffee, the culture, the restaurants, the nightlife etc- is largely condensed to the CBD and it’s immediate surrounds (Fitzroy, Carlton, St Kilda)… outside of that, there isn’t much more on offer (that you wouldn’t get better within). Sydney on the other hand, takes far more time and distance and effort to really appreciate the same things. Want the best restaurants? They’re arguably as far flung as 20mins east of the city, and 30mins west (or an hour in between!). The CBD, like in many other LARGER cities like Tokyo and NY, has been way more de-centralised. I think you can sort of experience most of what Melb has to offer in 2-3days staying in the CBD (“the movie”). With Sydney, you really have to spend time in the Eastern Suburbs, the North, the South and especially the greater West to really understand how Sydney ticks (“the book”). In fact, the CBD has mostly become only for work or tourists. Barely anyone who lives in Sydney actually spends time IN the city. A point that I think is really missed on most people. On sheer population and size alone, it’s obvious that if you were to say compare ‘top restaurants’, or ‘best bars’- that’s it’s impossible for Sydney lose. They simply have the numbers and size to go toe-to-toe. You’ll just find that where most of Melb’s is so close to each other, most of Sydney’s are so far. It means Melb often presents better to say, a tourist with 2-3 days to visit. 3 days in Sydney and you’ve only scratched the surface.

@jonathangroenewald3906 10 месяцев назад

@@flashdaz05 I think you just made the case for Melbourne. We are comparing the cities of each state, not 1-2hrs out of the city areas into the East or Western suburbs, that would be a larger comparison of the State of Victoria vs NSW.

@jonathangroenewald3906 10 месяцев назад

@@flashdaz05 If you believe Melbourne’s cultural attractions are only confined to the CBD, then you are so mistaken. Yes there is, Street art, wine bars, roof top bars, laneways, beautiful federation era buildings. But we also have Silo art trails in country regions and of course the beautiful gold rush towns. And speaking of food. It’s not about how many hatted restaurants you have, it’s about the cultural diversity and experience. Lygon street for Italian food Oakleigh for Greek food Springvale for Vietnamese and the best Pho you ever tasted. Afghan, Pakistan or Indian food in Dandenong Middle Eastern in Brunswick African delights in Flemington and Footscray. I could go on. In fact, name a country and you could experience their food in Melbourne. Ive done it with a group of friends, from A to Z. You want Danish, Hungarian, Chilean or food from Crimea or Ukraine, come to Melbourne. It’s all here. And then, we are fortunate enough to be surrounded by some of the best cool climate wines, all within 1 hours drive from the CBD. Yarra valley, Mornington, Bellarine, Macedon, not to mention great Reds out of Heathcote and beautiful Italian varieties out of the King Valley. And then of course, there are the regular international events all within easy reach of the CBD Spring carnival & Melbourne Cup Grand Prix Moto GP AFL Grand final Boxing Day Cricket The OZ Open, Tennis Moomba & water skiing Comedy festival Bells beach surf pro. Festival of Light.. Too many to mention here.

I have lived in both Melbourne (2014-18, 2020-22) and Sydney (2018-2020) and for me it's Melbourne hands down, which is why I'm back! Love having four distinct seasons as the vibe changes in the city for each season. An endless calendar of events, the city is alive and buzzing all year. In winter you can rug up and explore the mysterious city bars with fireplaces in hidden laneways. In summer you get out to the parks, gardens and beaches and enjoy drinks and awesome food as the sun sets late in the night (Sydney gets dark too early in summer which was a buzzkill). The only downside to Melbourne's weather is the dreadful hayfever in spring. Glad you enjoyed your tine here! Hope to see you back in summer sometime :)

@NoTaboos Год назад

Melbourne's parks are full of introduced trees and feral birds. Sydney actually looks like Australia.

@camwells9726 Год назад

I’m a kiwi that lives in Melbourne, I can understand if people find Sydney more appealing for brief holiday visits with the weather and the beaches , that gives it a more holiday vibe . But Melbourne is a more liveable place for me, cheaper and just has a more friendlier vibe , even though it’s still a big city it doesn’t have the rat race feel that Sydney has .

@victorp505 6 месяцев назад

Completely true. Sydney is either for holidays or where you take your bank account to die. (Trust me I’ve seen my own family go down the second road.)

@FRC0711 Год назад

I'm a proud Melburnian, but I have to admit that if someone from overseas asked me where to go for a short stay, I would recommend Sydney. Sydney is just more of a quintessential Australian experience. The weather is better and more consistent, the scenery is on another level (better than almost anywhere tbh), the beaches and harbour are spectacular, and you get to see the iconic landmarks. It is a beautiful, world-class destination - you'll feel as though you really went somewhere special. But on the downside, Sydney is expensive and can be a bit one-dimensional and superficial. And after you've seen the sights, for all the hustle and bustle, it feels a bit empty and dull. Like a mid-sized American city that just happens to be in one of the most spectacular locations on earth. Melbourne is different. If you were planning to stay for a while, then definitely Melbourne. It is more sophisticated and layered, has way better nightlife and more varied food options, more style, more soul. It's more granular than Sydney, more culturally dense, has more idiosyncrasies and variety. And it's a bit cheaper (still pretty expensive), which is good for people on a budget. But sometimes, I can't believe how truly bad the climate is - endlessly disappointing and always colder and windier than it should be, except when it's horrendously hot. Nine months of gloomy grey (like a slightly warmer London), then like being in a blast furnace on and off for the remaining three months. And geographically/topographically, it's not beautiful like Sydney. It's mostly flat and boring and grey (especially in winter). Basically, if you're a young traveller coming to Australia for six months, do this - Land in Sydney in October and spend a week or two there taking selfies and absorbing all the "Australiana", then hire a campervan and drive all the way up the coast to Cairns in North Queensland before the rainy season really kicks in. You'll have lots of adventures. Then fly back to Melbourne before Christmas, get yourself a job in a bar and a share house in Fitzroy or Collingwood and stay until the end of March, with the odd trip to other places as needed. You'll have a good time. That's the way to do Australia.

@cwil7252 Год назад

Ok.. so I've only been to Sydney but just saying... ferries are like my favorite thing ever. I think Sydney should have gotten some points for those. Being on a ferry on a sunny sparkly day in Sydney Harbour is the best. Can't wait to see the Sydney videos!

@melbling5748 Год назад

We visited Sydney recently and found the public transport stops are really far from some of the major landmarks, meaning we had to walk very far to get to the bus stops/train stations. While in Melbourne, the tram stops are everywhere and you don't have to walk far to get to the next train station.

@DanegerAndStacey Год назад

Thats super interesting! Pretty important if you have to cover way more ground

@gracegale522 9 месяцев назад

What are you talking about, train station, trams station and bus stops are right in Circular Quay where the opera house is located. You must be lazy to walk for a short distance to the opera house, and the harbour bridge the most iconic landmarks in Sydney.

@peterbreis5407 Год назад

Funny how you went to an alright gelato in Collingwood and raved about it. Messina is actually from Sydney. You should have gone to Cow & Moon Gelato in Enmore in Sydney - WAAAAY better. Asian food, cakes, everything in Sydney is also way better. Sydney you do have to get around more, which is not hard with the public transport, to real asian out in Cabramatta, Bankstown and Flemington in fact dozens of outer suburbs. Great Indian in Harris Park and Parramatta, Middle Eastern around Punchbowl, Campsie and lots of other places. Japanese and Thai is way better in Sydney. Not to knock Melbourne which is great, but I think you found stuff in Melbourne simply because it is more obvious and easy to get around. Sydney best recommendation is take every single ferry, including the RiverCat to Parramatta, and catch the trains up along Broken Bay to the north, Wollongong to the south and Blue Mountains to the west.

@shayanjamshed Год назад

Just got back from Australia, and thought Melbourne is easily the best city. With its thriving arts, culture, coffee, food and nightlife scene, it's more of an 'experience' city as compared to Sydney, which revolves around landmarks. As a New Yorker, I also found the uncanny similarities with the grid and boutique cafes. Great comparison video though!

As a suggestion, if you want to see nicer beaches in Melbourne, try the Southeast part of Port Philip Bay, particularly Brighton Beach, where you can see the Brighton Boxes. The water is also better quality out there than the beaches along Port Melbourne and South Melbourne

You can catch public transport to beaches like Brighton, Sandringham and all the way to Frankston. If you go little further to Blairgowrie and Sorrento you will see some spectacular beach scenery. At least on Melbourne beaches you’re not getting swept out to New Zealand.

@RenegadeRanga Год назад

I can only speak to Melbourne since I've basically spent no time in Sydney. I worked security and in the good old days there were many theatres, sports events, night clubs and restaurants bustling away. The grid nature of the Melb CBD makes it easy to get trams which head in all directions. Easy to travel south to the mornington peninsula, Phillip Island or out east to the yarra valley. Also a good road network makes it easy to get to regional cities like Bendigo, Ballarat or down the great ocean road. The weather is shit 8 months of the year. The blue mountains and Bondi are great. The Harbour Bridge is over rated. I think for an objective assessment you would need to spend at least 3 to 6 months in each place. That would give you an idea of private and public transport, accessibility, entertainment and culture, affordability.

Blue mountains and south coast are both spectacular sights to see too!

@DanegerAndStacey Год назад

Thanks for the tips, but booking 60 days out is madness isn't it? Haha. Underground stuff is cool though, we like that kind of scene

@kristinemason517 Год назад

So I grew up in the outer suburbs of Sydney and I spent more time exploring the blue mountains than going into the city. Yes, there is a lot more walking in terms of distance in Sydney and far less convenient public transport than in Melbourne. There is a lot more to see and do if you have the time to explore outside of Sydney City. visit Bondi, Manly, and the Blue Mountains, hit up any of the local markets, or just head out into the suburbs and see what is there. and if you have time head up the central coast towards Newcastle or down towards Wollongong. both destinations make for great road trips within a few hours of the city (you can also catch the train). I also really enjoy Melbourne as it is so different from Sydney and am looking forward to going back sometime

I’m a bit biased because I live in Melbourne but having spent a lot of time in both places, I’d still vote Melbourne! The food, coffee, bars, things to do, culture and diversity, it’s amazing. I do agree Sydney beaches are lovely, but just travel a little while outside of the CBD to Mornington Peninsula or great ocean road and the beaches are amazing! I sort of get the impression that Sydney-siders are just a bit more fitness and appearance obsessed while Melbourne it’s a bit more about appreciating culture, it’s a bit more hipster and edgy 😅 anyway if you are travelling, of course you have to see both!

Also there is the sister Hot Springs to Maruia (the one you guys went to in NZ/Lewis Pass) called Peninsula Hot Springs. The access to all sporting events is incredible in Melbourne as it has a wonderful arts scene to. For us we feel it is a mini Wellington and Sydney seems more like Auckland.

There's no comparison. Melbourne is Australia's cultural capital with incredible food & drink, sport and festivals/galleries. But Sydney consistently imports the best of what Melbourne has to offer and layers it with spectacular beaches and wonderful nearby national parks that Melbourne cannot match. Major global firms are headquartered in Sydney and due to continued global demand, Sydney is soon getting a second international airport - also with rail access (c'mon Melbourne, even Brisbane and Perth's airport have rail links). It's no secret that Sydney is Australia's seat of power. For 27 of the last 33 years, a Sydneysider has been Australia's Prime Minister. Our first Prime Minister was a Sydneysider and so have the last four of them. Most importantly, Sydney is Australia's most cosmopolitan and inclusive city. Sydney has something for everyone - whatever your ethnicity, creed, hobbies & interests or proclivities. No matter who you are, you are welcome in Sydney.

That combined with a sharp NO has deterred pretty well but dogs are dogs and will often bark for what we think is no reason but I guess that come with the territory of them being able to hear and smell things we can’t.

I've only been to Melbourne and the Gold Coast. Melbourne is a very relaxed city. People tend to be chill and open to conversations with foreigners. If I could compare it to an American city, it'd probably be a mix between San Diego (atmosphere) and a quaint midwest city where people are generally more friendly than the coastal cities.

@zebrakacole5822 Год назад

I'm from Melbourne, after 9 years of staying in a quiet, boring, a no attractions city , a only CBD areas is where you can find buildings and town , a no job opportunity city , a very worsening weather city , a city that is full of rude people, a city that has nothing to explore out in its CBD , a dirty river city, a worse public transport city of Melbourne, i visited Sydney for my first time and i was so happy and fully of joy as if i was in paradise. Sydney is above on other levels, Sydney is the best city in the world. Melbourne is a boring city full of rude people who feel to fight anyone at anytime, actually Sydney is the best

@shay8575 Год назад

So I'm from Melbourne but live in USA, I'm biased. For me it's Melbourne hands down. I've had a lot of Americans ask me about Melbourne and Sydney. I normally put the comparison of Sydney is more like LA, Melbourne is more like New York. I think that's fair?

@cherielocke6333 Год назад

It really depends what you enjoy. I love Melbourne because I am more into shows shopping, restaurants, vibe, etc. also I believe Victoria has stunning scenery but it is not always metropolitan. Grampians. Portlands beaches, walks, skiing, waterskiing, museums, art, . Some of the criteria you used were a little youth orientated and that may be the difference.

@jessstewart8403 Год назад

You guys need to check out the amateur shows in melbs, like the Big Hoo Haa, in the butterfly club and go to the AFL! Melbs 💯has more things to do. The night life, feature shows and galleries etc. Pls hit me up next time and I’ll show you the hidden gems!

Which city is more diverse? Would speak to the culture food and vibe

@FRC0711 Год назад

I think that officially, Sydney has a slightly higher percentage of residents born overseas. But there wouldn't be much of a difference and both cities are easily among the most diverse and multicultural in the world. I think I recall that there are slightly more people from East Asia in Sydney and more people from Europe and India in Melbourne. Sydney would have more "global citizens" - think highly paid professionals and businesspeople living there temporarily.

@user-ok6wl9xy1x Год назад

Food and vibe melbourne, diversity Sydney, although it is debatable, if you talking about residents born overseas then sydney by like 2 percent but if your talking about different nationalities Melbourne has more.

@nikkilogan7726 Год назад

@Polizz1000 Год назад

When you go to Sydney it just feels like it's a mission to get anywhere, long walks to public transport, or you get lost walking around, you might have to go up steep hills, and nothing is central it's all just all over the place. Melbourne has the grid format, with accessible trams everywhere, everything is centralised (library, sport facilities, arts centre). Melbourne is a planned city, whereas Sydney sort of developed over time, and it shows.

@jj-if6it Год назад

I'm biased because I'm a Melburnian but I prefer Melbourne. Sydney has the spectacular harbour, and that's about it in my opinion. Melb has a real atmosphere and the peeople are friendlier. It's so much easier to get around Melb and find somewhere good to eat, and we have a lot more sporting and cultural events. The reason people left rude comments on your previous videos is because some bogans are still angry that we had a huge lockdown during covid and now enjoy bagging Melb haha. Sydney has better beaches and scenery I guess, but Victoria is more compact so it's easier to get to things like the snow in winter. Tourists definitely have to visit Sydney on a trip to Aus as I think they'll be really impressed, but I would want to live in Melb.

@travelertrome8449 Год назад

For sporting events let's not overlook that Melbourne has the Aussie Open, one of the Grand Slams of tennis. On the flipside, I cannot imagine visiting Australia without seeing the Opera House and Harbor Bridge of Sydney. That is like going to California and not seeing the Golden Gate Bridge.

@zebrakacole5822 Год назад

They're both good for different reasons. Sydney has better geography with the beaches and Blue Mountains, and a better and more extensive train system. Melbourne has more going on in terms of culture and arts and a better tram system with the free tram zone.
