Hyde Park Sydney, Australia

Aside from the beautifully kept gardens, Hyde Park provides a tranquil haven to the thousands of daily urban commuters amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday Sydney. Not only a sanctuary to the overworked, it is a fitting home to the famous 1934 Art Deco Anzac WarMemorial, and the Archibald Fountain; a magnificent bronze and granite fountain commemorating the French and Australian alliance in World War I. Hyde Park looks particularly attractive at night when thousands of tiny fairy lights twinkle amidst the boughs of the ancient trees, which line the walkways.
