American (major) cities are far more populated. There are many America cities that come in all sizes eg NY & LA are humongous in population & area.
However I would say Melbourne and New York have their striking similarities, both cities are grid cities, both claim to be the arts and cultural capital of their respective countries.
The US has the White House, Australia has the Parliament House and both have an abundance of famous monuments, galleries and museums. Which U.S. cities are most comparable to Australian cities? Both have carnival like foreshores with family friendly activities and are close to major cities (Melbourne and San Francisco, which just so happened to match up too).I could name a million and one things that are different about Australia and the US, but that was my take on some similarities in certain places.
Compared to Canadian and Australian cities, most American cities are shitholes. I didn’t include places I have never been in either of the countries, so I’d love to know if anyone thinks of any other ones that could be added to this.In terms of population, tourism, landmarks and economic significance, Sydney is the one Aussie city that can be closely compared to New York. Whilst one is definitely more famous, I think the other is just as amazing.On the water, beautiful beaches and amusement for all ages.
?I don't know if any Australian citys are compareable to American citys. I hope to inspire and encourage others to wander the world aimlessly and share stories with others bitten by the travel bug too.Enter your email address to follow this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email.
The chilled out surfing town is dominated by free, nature loving people (hippies if you will). Washington also has a cool neighbourhood in Georgetown known for similar things.White sand beaches, turquoise waters and beautiful island chains.
They both have large China Towns and are both famous for their trolleys/trams.Fabulous beaches, an amazing club scene and year round warm weather makes these two perfect holiday destinations. In terms of population, tourism, landmarks and economic significance, Sydney is the one Aussie city that can be closely compared to New York. Hobart: Asheville (one of the few bigger Australian cities which happens to receive four seasons, nestled between a valley, and to the north is a fairly large mountain, very green, in between liberal and conservative (leaning more toward liberal in the inner-city), lively centre) What American cities would you compare to Australian cities? Paradise comes in two different forms.More so for the natural aspects than the city as a whole.
With Melbourne’s population and financial performance set to overtake Sydney in the coming decade, I feel Melbourne will be a stronger comparison to New York City.I do agree with you on that Joe!
Following on from my previous post comparing the density of Australian and European cities, there has been some interest in the relative size of Australian and European cities. Relaxed, filled with young people and with many beautiful beaches they are each on my list of favourite places in the world.Both beautiful natural wonders carved out of vibrant red rock. However, they are both metro cities with huge sprawling metro areas along the coast, nice Mediterranean dry summers, moderate winters, heaps of sun and great beaches.Adelaide is another great and relatively important city in Australia that didn’t get a mention. Other places like Carson City are small by US standards. Both of the cities have a year-round average high temperature of over 21 degrees, and an average low of between 10 and 11 degrees. American (major) cities are far more populated.
New Orleans in Louisiana has swamps and alligators, Darwin in the Northern Territory has bushland and crocodiles.Byron Bay is a small town known for being very laid back. Perth reminds me of a smaller, less polluted and less crazy version of LA. It was a hard one to call. Australia is pretty much on a one way track, while America is a network of tracks leading to many different things. Soho for some reason always reminds of the busy lane ways in Melbourne (Similar historic architecture) and Collins Street, as well as the fashion conscious attitudes of suburbs like South Yarra and Toorak.
