Metropolis / Sydney
As you may know, the city where Superman/Clark Kent lives is called Metropolis. This is actually a fictional city, conceived by Superman's creators Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel. But believe it or not, I am now really in Metropolis! For the movie Superman Returns,
Sydney was used as a stand-in for Metropolis. Most of the movie was shot on-set, at Fox Studios Australia, but some of the scenes were shot on various locations in the city, some of which I have already encountered by chance (
look here). Walking through
Sydney is really like walking through Superman's city... So
here are some pictures of the cityscape of Metropolis/Sydney.
Walking around in Sydney
One of the first things I did when I arrived in Sydney was buying a ‘Red Travelpass’ allowing me to use most of the public transport for one week unlimited. But my hostel is so centrally located, that I can just walk everywhere! Don’t really need the pass…
After getting up much too late, I walked from the hostel on Pitt Street to Darling Harbour. From there I walked up north, to the Harbour bridge and over it, to the other side of the water. Incredible view on Sydney’s skyline + the famous Opera House. Walked around there through some posh residential neighborhood, trying to find a ferry harbour to go back to the other side but didn’t find it. Took a train back instead to Circular Quay and ate some fish ‘n chips in a nice restaurant looking out on the Harbour bridge.
