Discover a sunny culture in Sydney

Sydney, Australia is the capital of New South Wales and one of the greatest places to visit if you’re looking for an urban-beach getaway. On one hand, there are amazing activities and sights to see on and near the water. Cruise along the harbor and spot the spectacular Sydney Opera House, swim in an ocean pool with views of the beach and sky, and of course, try your hand at surfing on Bondi beach. Visit Coogee and Watson’s Bay for an even more laid-back atmosphere just outside of the centre with tons of restaurants and bars.

The food and nightlife are symbolic of the amazing personalities of the locals as well. Whether you’re looking for traditional foods from all over the world or wanting to try new and innovative menus at award-winning restaurants, you can’t be disappointed. If the timing of your trip is right, take part in Sydney’s iconic New Year’s celebration by counting down anywhere in the city and be amazed by the extraordinary fireworks display.

Other must-see attractions for anyone: stroll through the Royal Botanical Gardens, meet kangaroos and koalas at the zoo, and climb to the top of Harbour Bridge for the best views of the city. No matter what type of holiday you’re on, Sydney is a great option for any season of the year. And with free walking tours with Freetour.com, you are guaranteed a sunny time.

While Bondi Beach is one of the most famous in the city, its graffiti wall often gets missed from the list of Bondi’s attractions, and we think that’s a shame.

Work started appearing on the wall in the late 1970s, and by the late 1980s, it moved to a legal space for artists to work. These days you need to apply to paint here. Twice a year, artists are chosen to redo the walls, meaning there is always something new to see. Two murals are permanent, the Anzac one shown about and a memorial to a Bali Bombing victim.

Check out our Bondi guide for tips on where to eat, drink and shop in the area.

An exceptional harbour walk, the views and pristine bushland will have you thinking you are hours away from civilisation. Start at the Spit Bridge for a more leisurely walk; it’s more downhill than starting from Manly.

At the end of Circular Quay’s Overseas Passenger Terminal is a round tower that is an observation deck. It’s the perfect place to capture photos of the city’s icons or watch the ferries as they come and go.

Newtown is one of Sydney’s more interesting suburbs with plenty of quirky shops, street art and affordable eats. Think less big-name brands and more small independent businesses, particularly if you begin exploring from St Peters Station at the southern end of King Street and walk north towards the city.

We have written a detailed guide to the street art of the inner west that you might like to read before you head out. However, this 2-hour walk might be a better fit if time is short.

When it was first announced, the Goods Line was touted as Sydney’s answer to NYC Highline, and while it may not have entirely pulled it off, it is still an excellent addition to the city.

Just a short walk from the Manly Wharf, Fairlight beach is much less visited than its neighbour and quite a bit prettier in my view. Access is via a footpath, meaning it attracts fewer visitors than other beaches in the area.

There is an excellent view of Sydney Heads, and it’s a lovely spot to spend a summer evening watching the sunset.

Note: The pool is closed for weekly cleaning for 24 hours between Wednesday and Friday evenings depending on the weather.
