Great info guys. Love the fact you do your research and always offer up so much eye candy and interesting facts! 😀

I'm from Adelaide and have spent time in both cities. While Sydney is beautiful, the cost of living makes it prohibitively expensive for most people to live in and Melbourne's CBD and inner suburbs makes it feel much more vibrant. Melbourne gets my vote :)

I lived for 5 years as an international student in Sydney then I moved to Melbourne after receiving a job contract, i prefer Melbourne as the suburbs are so well planned with an abundance of parks and local malls. Accomodation was cheaper as well. More places to hike and get lost during the weekends

Greetings from Estonia 🇪🇪 ❤the channel AND I LOVED THE ESTONIAN SERIES! HAVENT finish them all,so,I’m in for the treat ! Love the chemistry ⚛️ that you both have going on! GREAT MATCH !

I think there's one aspect about the rain between the two cities that is overlooked. Sure, Sydney has more rain and more rainy days, and this is often trotted out as meaning Melbourne is better. However, when you consider the rain events, you'll see a marked difference. Melbourne has drizzle. Soul crushing drizzle. Sydney puts on a show. It really buckets down, and you feel alive and invigorated by nature unleashed upon you. I'll take a Sydney storm over a Melbourne drizzle any day. IMHO.

I'm from Qld, I've always felt the city of melbourne easy to get around or navigate for a tourist when visiting for a weekend. Sydney just seems so spread out, it seems little more daunting to plan a weekend there if your not a local.

Been to Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney.. Sydney gets my vote. But yeah, the price is ridiculous! But Melbourne prices isn’t that much different.

What holds dear to your heart is the best city

I like Canberra because of the Gumtrees and it's Australia Capital city

I give Melbourne the edge (as a visitor to both).

Can you please do a Brisbane v Perth comparison. Both are exceptional cities however don't get the attention Sydney and Melbourne get...

Also please make a video then compare Sydney Cercular Quay areas vs Melbourne federation square Area

Two great cities. Both have good and bad bits. This rivalry thing is so old by now. God bless Australia!

I’ve always liked Sydney. It has such an global appeal and, being near water, it’s so beautiful. I live in Melbourne - it’s OK here, I guess it depends what your interests are (sport, art, etc).

Again do another video comparing Sydney stadium Australia vs Melbourne AAMI park stadium

Please compare Sydney central station vs Melbourne flinders Street station, then compare western Sydney in General vs Melbourne western suburbs

I prefer Melbourne for its amazing trams network (the biggest in the world). Also Melbourne skyline is better with more and taller skyscrapers than Sydney.

I'm not Australian but I really miss Sydney haven't been in Australia since just before the lockdown so I got all those great nights out in the cross which was amazing, Melbourne is a great city as well but I always found that Melburnians had a jealousy of Sydney they always asked me which city I prefer and not one Sydneysider ever asked me that because they don't care in fact they had only positive things to say about Melb like complementing their shopping etc. Syd was a better fit for me as I'm a league fan and preferred the outdoor lifestyle but it's a little bit more pretentious and materialistic which some people might not like.

I'll go where the snow falls⛷🌨🏂❄

People who are saying Sydney is better PLEASE move there! Melbourne is getting too overcrowded, and me as a Melbourne lover want the old Melbourne back when it was moderately crowded.

Melbourne has a bigger sport culture. Crowds will go and watch any sport virtually. Whereas with Sydney, they always say "Sydney only loves winners". They'll get big crowds only when a team is winning. AFL in Melb gets a lot bigger crowds than NRL in Syd. Same with cricket. Mind you, all this could be due to there being more things to do in Sydney and the transport (to games) not being as efficience as in Melb.

The weather can kill you or make you depressed in Melbourne, can you afford a winter longer than 10 months? With no sunshine and everyday raining?😮

This is a no brainer - Melbourne wins overall all lol 👏🏽

Then compare Sydney’s second CBD ( parramatta) vs Melbourne box hill

Cricket too

Sydney 🥹😂😛🙌🏻 !

Again compare riding in Melbourne Yarra river vs riding around Sydney harbour

great vid guys. sydneys problem is everything is extremely expense. sydneys much much better for doing sports, water sports and hiking. sydneys surrounding national parks are amazing.... the blue mountains.... the beaches incredibly beautiful.... and it has spectacular harbours. melbournes great for international events, spectator sports and coffee culture. the food is similar in both cities... (melbournians have a culture of talking things up...!) sydney has far better weather.... and its all year round. yes sydney has more rainfall.... but its usually in the form of tropical like downfall-thunderstorms that last for half an hour. melbourne is pitter patter rain-drizzle for the majority of the year.... 4 seasons in one day. business wise, melbourne is full of corporate jobs.... sydney is the small business capital of australia. in short..... sydney for out door lifestyle and tourism. melbourne for big events and coffee culture. art.

Sydney is absolutely stunning... Especially The Cbd & North Shore...but your life is surely immensly depressing unless you live in the Northern suburbs (Wahroonga to Deewhy), Easter suburbs (Watsons Bay to Coogee) or the Sutherland shire (Cronulla to Menai)... Because the remaining 75% of Sydney is quite bleak, with the exception of olympic park and the blue mountain of course... but I hands down choose Melbourne & Victoria as there's so much more than just the City... there's hundreds of pockets & insane natural landmarks only 1hr from the city, but, the local beaches truly suck haha, the climate is much much better than Sydney that's without doubt - but the weather predominantly sucks for 6 months plus and tends to be a little bipolar lol... but at least its not Qld filthy 24/7 humid mess for 10 months, then 2 months of a soft winter that is really just a mild spring... - So yeah, I agree to a magnitude of reasons, Melbourne wins & is only rapidly getting better... I just wish Melbourne had a massive Queens wharf Project & the WestGate was a bit sexier & structurally artistic... Frankston & Sunshine could do with some rapid gentrification too.

Dear Bro & Sis, Have a nice day!

"Sydney is the movie and Melbourne is the book"...Spoonful of Sarah. 😆😆😆😆

Im comin to melbourne on 8th july!! Hope we can meet 🤗

Sydney has the beaùtiful Pittwater inside the northern beaches...

Brisbane

Sydney gets my vote more holiday tropical vibe and australian feel then melbourne

When Melbourne City council's workers or subcontractors falsely accused me of parking in a restricted Zone and gave me a malicious Infringement Notice, I believe I have a right to complain. 😊. When I viewed the photos on line, I saw that they have taken a photo of a parking sign from a completely different area and uploaded that photo under my fine as if they want to pretend that I had parked there. That was a deliberate malicious act. Not sure if those people issuing fines get a commission or have revenue targets or why they do such low cheap acts. I have submitted a request to review my fine as it has been faked.

I’m from Perth, I like Sydney and Melbourne equally.

Forget about Melbourne and Sydney. In Perth you have the beaches, river and water of Sydney, but without the overcrowding. You have the sporting culture of a Melbourne, but with better weather. But what about the coffee? A lot more expensive in Perth. Try the cappucino strip in Fremantle, based on the name it must have something going for it. Overall you can be near beach, hills and city without traffic congestion. As a city its an easy decision, but admittedly it is the most isolated city in the world, so that can be seen as an advantage or disadvantage.

Melbourne is better because im from there and ive been to sydney ist alright

Melbourne !

Melbourne is also much more international...

Sydney is beautiful with stunning beaches, Melbourne is like a counterfeit version of a half decent European city.

IT WAS TRAVLE MELBOURNE IS BETTER BUT IS COLD BUT WAY BEACH IS BETTER.

Fairly sure that South Melbourne Market is cheaper and less crowded than Sydney Fish Market😂

If I had to live in one it be Canberra because it's Australia Capital city

I don't like Sydney. Melbourne is not to bad to visit.

I had to wind back on this video a few times because Nick you talk too fast! :) Just a friendly tip from a non-English watcher like myself.

Sydney hands down is way more beautiful than Melbourne

That whole Melbourne food and coffee thing is just a stereotype. Sydney has something for everything Melbourne has. The difference Is Melbourne is smaller and more compressed so everything is a lot closer together and a walkable distance. Sydney you need a car to get to different areas around the city.

And the winner is ……. Sydney ? 😮

Melbourne will be the next Texas in a couple of years because all the snobby Sydney siders are moving out and going to Melbourne, making it just as expensive and miserable as Sydney :)

People always say "the harbor and the beaches" when comparing Sydney and Melbourne, but Melbourne is simply the better city, it has better public transportation has more going on and more to do all around then Sydney does. Melbourne has a world city vibe to it in was Sydney does not. Not to mention Melbourne is notably more diverse in reality. That's a fact, and when it comes to beaches Melbourne has just as good beaches... Many people buy into the marketing of Sydney when it comes to its beaches, lets be real most of it's beaches are less pristine than some of the beaches in Melbourne in reality...

When I saw this video, I assumed it was either some overseas travellers, or people from Melbourne. Yep sure enough, it’s Victorians trying to make out they’re the best. The Victorian inferiority complex knows no bounds. In the words of Paul Keating, “if you’re not in Sydney, you’re just camping out”.

Sydney easy

It's Australian Rules football or Aussie rules and not "AFL" which is an anacronym fot the govering body of the game.

So Melbourne wins cause it feels like Europe? Then go live in Europe! My vote is Sydney,and cause I can afford to.

Melbourne is "freezing outside." Compared to Canada, it's probably paradise.

Don’t like Melbourne much sports ok but that’s it

Sorry Melbourne...you cannot beat Sydney Harbour or our amazing beaches & our coffee & food is just as good.....

Sydney beat Melbourne a lots , that’s why it was only Sydney which was awarded to host 2023 FIFA Women World Cup Australia and New Zealand’s first kickoff ( Australia’s first opening match of the tournament) and the last kickoff the tournament ( final match of the tournament) not only that but once again , FIFA went further more and awarded again Only Sydney to be able to host many numbers of the matches with two stadiums, than any other cities which hosted matches. Sydney is the face of Australia and its absolutely bad to trying abusing a Sydney which is a heavy weight city of the world by comparing with a quite, a nothing to explore out , a no jobs city of Melbourne which has both , the bad weather and a dirty drainage water brown smelling river of Yarra river which flows full of rubbish that causes a lots of mosquitoes 🦟 in Melbourne

Melbourne overall better, but sydney has top area.

melbourne would have to be one of the most boring cities on earth...

Sydney = Beirut Melbourne = bombay Perth = Australia 💪🇦🇺

Melbourne has always had a severe inferiority complex, truth is there's no real culture in Australia , you know this as truth when you've travelled enough
