Sydney voted world's top city
Sydney scoops Conde Nast Traveler award
The Conde Nast Traveler Readers Choice Awards, held in New York, voted the harbour city their favourite spot.
More than eight million votes were cast in the awards with readers rating cities according to ambience, friendliness, lodging, restaurants, culture, sight-seeing and shopping.
New South Wales tourism minister George Souris said it was the second major international award for Sydney, which was named the world's best festival and major events city by the International Festival and Events Association last week.
"Winning this latest award demonstrates Sydney's position as a world leading destination and the gateway to Australia," Mr Souris said in a statement.
"It's a vote of confidence not by travel writers or agents, but by ordinary travellers.
"By definition, this makes us Australia's leading tourism and events city and will help the government in its quest to restore New South Wales to its position as the nations premiere state."
The readers of Conde Nast Traveler gave Sydney a score of 85.1, ahead of the next highest scoring city, Florence at 85.
Conde Nast Traveler readers are mostly based in North America.

If you’re a seasoned traveler and come from a Western society, you will probably see many magnificent natural landscapes, beautiful beaches and staying luxurious accommodations. But if you have traveled to the Third World or Asia you will have also experienced first hand, the economic and living conditions caused by abject poverty that many people in the third world endure everyday.
To travel the world is a privilege and a reward for getting out and seeing how others live, but it comes with an obligation to give back to those who are not so privileged.
Ziimeo encourages all travelers to be aware of the economic and living conditions of the peoples in the countries in which you travel and to make a contribution back to the grass roots of that society.
The proceeds of your accommodation, restaurant and transport bills don’t often reach down to the communities that really need your help. To this end Ziimeo Foundation was born to receive donations that will go directly to the people that need it in either direct assistance or the provision of food and medicals services.
