Sydney Vs Melbourne – I have travelled to Sydney and Melbourne numerous times from New Zealand over the past five years or so, and I’ve gradually developed an opinion about their various nuances. Last weekend we travelled to Melbourne to see a stage show – Come From Away (I fully recommend it but this isn’t a review about that). My opinions are not totally balanced as they are not based on equal times spent in similar locations i.e. CBD and suburban areas, but they are gut feelings. I have created a comparison chart to assist in this:
| Sydney | Melbourne | |
| Friendliness | Ok | Ok |
| Temperature | Good | Ok |
| Humidity | Too high | Good |
| Architecture | Excellent | Poor |
| Personal safety | Good | Poor |
| Road safety | Good | Ok |
| Covid prevention | Good | Poor |
| Public transport | Excellent | Average |
| Rubbish/litter | Poor | Poor |
| Weeds | Poor | Ok |
| Graffiti | Poor | Ok |
Overall I have come to the opinion that Sydney is better than Melbourne to live in. I’m sure not everyone may agree but I could live here…
