Sydney

Sydney is the state capital of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia and Oceania. Located on Australia's east coast, the metropolis surrounds one of the world's largest natural harbours, and sprawls towards the Blue Mountains to the west. Residents are together known as "Sydneysiders" and constitute the most multicultural city in Australia and one of the most multicultural cities in the world.
The area around Sydney has been inhabited by indigenous Australians for tens of millennia. The first British settlers arrived in 1788 with Captain Arthur Phillip and founded Sydney as a penal colony. Successive colonial Governors assisted to transform the settlement into a thriving and independent metropolis. Since convict transportation ended in the mid 1800s the city has become a global cultural and economic centre. The population of Sydney at the time of the 2011 census was 4.39 million. About 1.5 million of this total were born overseas and represent many different countries from around the world. There are more than 250 different languages spoken in Sydney and about one-third of residents speak a language other than English at home.

List of the best international cities for artists. The art community is spread far and wide across the globe. It is the dream of many young and seasoned artists to be able to tour the grounds of the Louvre or experience an underground art performance in Tokyo. If you are an artist or simply a lover of great art, this list explores, “what are the best world cities for artists?”Since the United States is a relatively new culture, there isn’t the sort of artistic history that exists in international cities like Rome, London, and Vienna.

No matter what your artistic preference, from historical to modern, there is something for any type of artist. This list explores the best of the best world cities with strong artistic atmospheres.

Gaming

The Grand Theft Auto franchise continues to be the gold standard for sprawling, open-world, sandbox gameplay. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_IV#Commercial_performance">Grand Theft Auto IV shattered longstanding records</a>&nbsp;and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_V#Commercial_performance">Grand Theft Auto V</a> has, to date, sold over thirty-three million copies&nbsp;and generated over two billion dollars in sales. One of the reasons for its juggernaut success is the highly detailed and dynamic Grand Theft Auto locations. With Liberty City painstakingly modeled after New York City and its surrounding areas&nbsp;and Vinewood capturing the essence of Los Angeles right down to the traffic snarls, the atmosphere in Grand Theft Auto games is every bit as important as gameplay, weapons, or even the characters themselves. Grand Theft Auto cities are living, breathing things that set the tone for the epic crime drama the player will then be taken through.But let’s be honest. Another visitation to Liberty City or even the vastly larger Vinewood would probably be fatal to Rockstar Games’&nbsp;record-crushing franchise. Simply put, the players have been there and done that. It’s time to shake things&nbsp;up. There are so many fantastic places that could be the setting for the next installment of GTA that another trip to&nbsp;Liberty City or Vinewood would actually be an insult to the fans. From exotic locations on the other side of the world&nbsp;to new North American cities, the options are limitless. Here are twenty iconic possible locations for the next Grand Theft Auto game.

Romance

It&#39;s easy to put Paris atop a list of the most magical cities in the world since the thing that surely separates a magical city from any other is that is has a certain &quot;joie de vivre,&quot;&nbsp;or &quot;a little something special&quot; to it. Whether it&#39;s what you would call the most beautiful city in the world or the prettiest city on the planet, there&#39;s just a little something to all of these cities that sets them apart from the rest of the places most people vacation and live.

Many of these cities make the list because they are home to the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/historical-landmarks-to-see-before-i-die">landmarks to see before you die</a>; others because the local culture is world-renowned and the occupants of a different mindset than the rest of the world. There are places such as Cairns, with its vast access to the Great Barrier Reef, that perhaps you shouldn&#39;t visit because you&#39;ll never leave. Others, such as Las Vegas, offer an overload of visual and visceral stimuli that make you think you&#39;re in a bubble (but it&#39;s important to never forget: what happens in Vegas only stays if you don&#39;t post pictures to Facebook).

With so much beauty around the world, is it any wonder that many of the most magical cities are located in the <a href="/crowdranked-list/most-beautiful-countries-in-the-world" target="_blank">most beautiful countries in the world</a>? Italy, for instance, boasts several magical cities, including Rome, Venice, and certainly Florence.

What world city is the most magical? What city has the best landscapes and views? What vacation spots are the most magical?

Railways, bus lines, and even waterways fall under the umbrella of public transportation, and as such require different cartographic&nbsp;depictions depending on their size and location.The examples below are some of the more attractive and&nbsp;eye-catching public transportation maps from around the world.
