Located on the south eastern coast, Sydney is built around Port Jackson, a section of Sydney Harbour, hence its nickname "the harbour city". Sydney was the first European colony and subsequently the entryway for innumerable immigrants coming from all parts of the world to settle in Australia. This heritage has made Syney one of the most multicultural hubs in the world. It is acknowleged as a city of global importance and has been host to such important sports events as the 2003 Rugby World Cup and the Summer Olympics in 2000. Not only Australia's largest financial center and its most expensive city to live in, Sydney is also a well-frequented tourist destination offering splendid beaches and trademarks of world acclaim including the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.
