Sydney is a great city. Always being compared to Melbourne (and let's be perfectly honest, they're the only two cities in Australia worth visiting), it definitely feels like the bigger, flashier sibling. More cosmopolitan, and certainly far less laid back, Sydney is a vibrant outdoors city with great food, great coffee, culture (a luxury in Australia), coastal walks, beaches and quaint seaside towns. And of course good weather for most of the year. A short ferry ride from the harbour will take you to Manly Beach or Watsons Bay, a world away from the bustle of the CBD. And areas like Surry Hills, walkable from the centre, ooze old-school cool. The coastal walk from Coogee Bay to Byron Bay was a particular highlight. We ate pretty well and stayed in a fabulous Airbnb and made some new friends in the process. Two excellent foodie highlights were Nour and Nomad and the brunch game is on a whole new level. I wish we had one budget for the trip and another budget dedicated to just food. Sadly we do not. I probably wouldn’t fly all the way round the world specially to visit Sydney, but it makes a great stopover to refuel and hang out for a few days.
