What you’ll do

With its iconic architecture like the Sydney Opera House, a laid-back attitude that other cities can only dream of recreating, and pristine beaches, there’s more of Sydney to fall in love with than you could squeeze into a day. But luckily, with a local insider to guide you, you’ll make the most of your time!

Whether you stroll along Coogee Beach, take the ferry to upmarket Balmain for lunch at a heritage pub, or choose among cozy wine bars for a glass of Aussie red in artsy Paddington, sun-soaked relaxation is what locals (and now you, too) do best. From hiking through the bush on the Manly to Spit coastal walk to exploring boho stores and contemporary galleries, you’ll experience a taste of Sydney’s city-to-surf culture.
