A short walk for amazing views of Sydney Harbour
Bronte Beach and Baths are worth visiting for a swim (versus the very busy Bondi and Coogee)
A must-do walk if you have the time (6km one-way, 2-3 hours).
Taronga Zoo is set right on the harbour with amazing views back over the city. Hop on a ferry from Circular Quay to the zoo wharf, then it’s a short walk or cable car up to the entrance with great views the whole way. Recently visited with Layla and Allegra.
The Manly fast ferry is a quick and easy way to get across the harbour. Departing from Circular Quay, the trip takes around 20 minutes. You can expect beautiful harbour views along the way, passing the Sydney Opera House, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and out towards the heads before arriving at Manly. Plenty of places to eat and things to see in Manly.
Popular café and garden space known for its outdoor areas, themed displays, and great coffee and food. Nice afternoon visit.
Greek restaurant of the north side of the bridge that we've visited far too many times to count. 10/10
Fine dining French in the heart of the CBD. Recently visited with Piri, Steve, Andy, and Cheryl.

One of our favourite pub spots, just down the road from our first apartment when we just moved to Sydney.
Alma-esque pub in Coogee just by the beach. Beers and pub meals. Good fun.
Frequently visited pub down the road from our first apartment in Sydney.
A (too) regularly visited bar in Sydney CBD. Recently visited with Angelia.
Probably the most impressive underground cocktail bar we've ever experienced.
Down the road from our place, this is a very humble bar in the busy strip of Erskineville.
Gay bar in Surry. Lots of fun.
A sleek cocktail bar set high above the city in the Westfield Sydney Tower. Expect panoramic views and over-priced cocktails. Nonetheless, amazing to see.
