I am doing this post because when I arrived in Sydney with
hardly any money I was relatively clueless as to, what to do, were to go and
how to do the basics; this list could have been really helpful, as a general
guide to all you need to know as a backpacker arriving in Sydney.

Top 10 Things To Do In And Around Sydney
10. China Town: Spend a day in China Town eating some great
food – then head to nearby Paddy’s Market for some shopping.
9. Pub crawl The Rocks: The oldest part of Sydney, it looks
almost European and has some great Irish bars; spend a day crawling the bars
with spectacular views of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House.
8. Kings Cross: This is definitely the most controversial of
The Eastern Suburbs- see Sydney’s red light district full of colourful
characters. This is the best place for night life; it’s full of cheap and
cheerful bars – Empire is great.
7. Take A cruise: Sydney’s harbour is incredible and the
best way to experience it is with a Harbour Cruise, alternatively one on a
Saturday night can also be great for fireworks.
6. Manly: not as famous as Bondi but just as beautiful; located
on the north shore and most easily accessible by ferry – this is a much quieter
beach and great for surfing and swimming.
5. Darling Harbour: A major tourist destination – you can
watch street performers, visit The Aquarium Or just relax and sit by the
harbour.
4. The Botanical Gardens: I have whiled away many afternoons
in these beautiful gardens; it is easy to forget that you are in a cosmopolitan
city. Feed the cockatoos see the bats and just chill out.
3. The Sydney Opera House: there is no doubt that The Opera
House is iconic and an absolute must see. For the best view head down to
McMahons Point on the north shore, take a bus from North Sydney. It is a bit
out of the way but you will get the best photos.
2. The Bondi To Coogee Walk: Start at the famous Bondi
Beach, and walk along the coast line all the way to Coogee. The scenery on this
walk is spectacular and a great way to see the Australian coastline.
1. Take a day trip to The Blue Mountains: This beautiful
national park gives you a taste of true Australian scenery, the highlight is
The Three Sisters or The Jenolan Caves. All of this is just 2 hours outside of
Sydney CBD.
