When you ask people about the biggest difference between Sydney and Melbourne it surely needs to be the fantastic surf culture that we have in this city. The best way to explore the vibe is by taking a walk along the coast, starting at Sydney’s best known beach, Bondi Beach. You can easily catch train and bus or a direct bus from the city to Bondi Beach, home to celebrities, artists, surfers, backpackers. Have an early lunch here in one of the takeaways before you get on your way south. The Bondi to Coogee coastal walk is probably one of the most beautiful, most fascinating things you can do in Sydney. This six kilometre walk will take you along the Pacific Coast and its many beaches, most notably Tamarama, Bronte, Clovelly and lastly Coogee. If you are keen you can continue all the way down to Maroubra to complete the 6km walk. The Bondi to Coogee walk is perfect to soak up the sun, enjoy the dramatic coastal scenery, to watch the surfers, take a dip yourself, and take lots of wonderful photos. In October, it is home to the immensely popular Sculpture by the Sea open-air exhibition. It can get busy at times, so the key is to take your time and just enjoy the scenery. Make sure you take plenty of sun screen, a hat and water with you. Highlights of the walk include the famous views of the Iceberg’s Club right in Bondi Beach as well as Waverley Cemetery. You can finish the walk at Coogee Pavilion for a family friendly dinner right by the beach. If you are starting the other way around and finish in Bondi, check out the Bucketlist Bondi for some cool beers in the afternoon sun.

Sydney is great if you want to see the urban side of Australia, but for a true blue bush experience you will either need to take the train or book a tour to the nearby Blue Mountains. The mountains are just around 2 hours away and a popular day trip destination for Sydneysiders. Named for the blue hue that derives from the eucalyptus vapour that can be seen lingering over the tree tops, the Blue Mountains are a protected national park that covers a vast area of wild and untamed bush land. The best place to start is the famous Echo point viewing platform in historic Katoomba. From here you get a quick and easy first impression of the stunning mountains landscape and the dense bushland. You will also see the famed Three Sisters, a rock formation that plays a pivotal role in local legends. The nearby tourist information centre is able to give you a hand with booking tours for the day. Alternatively, there is a hop-on-hop-off bus service as well as standard public busses that will help you get around in the string of historic mountain towns. For some bushwalking, take a bus to one of the sign-posted walking trails and check out local lookouts and waterfalls. Make sure you stay en route as visitors do tend to get lost in the bush from time to time. If you are not very mobile or travelling with kids, a short hike to the Three Sisters from Echo Point will do just fine. There are plenty of restaurants in Katoomba, catering for all budgets.

From Circular Quay continue around to the Opera House for some surprising and spectacular views of this marvellous piece of architecture. Sometimes a seal will be sitting on one of the steps leading down to the water, but you have to be really lucky to meet him!

From Manly Wharf it’s just a short walk along the Corso to the ocean beaches. Feel the salty spray, risk a dip between the flags or take a leisurely afternoon stroll to Shelly Beach – you might see a protected sea dragon lizard on the way! Manly has many great options for dining, be it ethnic food, traditional Australian or high-end dining with water views.

Stroll along the busy wharfs of Circular Quay, listen to the Aboriginal street artists and enjoy the views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. A great viewing platform can be found on top of Cahill Express Way which you can access via the glass lifts in the south-eastern corner of Circular Quay – great for taking photos that include both, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. Then find your way down to the commuter ferries and cruises stop and buy a ticket for the Manly ferry. Manly is a beautiful seaside suburb on the other side of the harbour. The 30 minute ride on the commuter ferry is way cheaper than any tourist cruise and still scenic and enjoyable.

Start your stay in Sydney with a short but interesting history lesson. The best way to do that is by walking the streets of the Rocks. This historic precinct is the first white settlement in all of Australia and traditionally the place were first the convicts and later the poorer classes used to live. This time is long gone. Today this vibrant quarter is a popular tourist attraction that never gets boring. As you walk the pebble stone streets and laneways enjoy some window-shopping as you pass the boutique designer shops, grab a snack from the market (if you are visiting on the weekends), listen to some live music, and simply soak up the fun atmosphere. If you like some more detailed information on the history of the first Australian colony, visit the Rocks Discovery Museum (it’s free) or join one of the many tours. For lunch, pick one of the fine dining options or visit one of the historic pubs, many of which claim to be the oldest pub in Australia.

Continue along the water and enter the Royal Botanic Gardens through the gates. Follow the way around Farm Cove and enjoy the views of Sydney harbour, one of the most beautiful natural harbours in the world. The further you go towards Mrs Macquarie’s Chair the better the views get, perfect for this most iconic Sydney photo. The Royal Botanic Gardens are probably one of the best parklands in the world, and Sydneysiders know it. They love picnicking on the lawns, playing ballgames, taking wedding photos, and jogging in the park. There are some exciting trees and flowers here, just keep your eyes open as you find your way down south towards the Art Gallery of NSW. There are two great cafes in the Royal Botanic Gardens that are great for a quick lunch.
