Sydney suburbs
Bondi
Bondi is arguably the most famous beach in the world. It is big, much more commercial than Coogee and constantly buzzing with life. If you like the beach and buzzing night life, you can’t go wrong.
Coogee
Coogee has one of the nicest beaches in Sydney, a lively atmosphere, enough cafes to keep you caffeinated all day and an array of superb restaurants. On top of this, it is close to shops and a short bus ride to the city.
Newtown
Newtown is the most unique suburb in Sydney. The focus in Newtown is on music, art and general creativity. It is also home to a large lesbian and gay community.
Darlinghurst
The gay centre of Sydney, Darlinghurst is home to the famous Mardi Gras festival in February. Dominated by Oxford Street, the suburb is ideal for those who like to be in the thick of the action. More bars and restaurants than you could ever tire of.
Paddington
The boutiques and art shops that Paddington has in abundance makes it one of the most trendy suburbs of Sydney. It is also home to Moore Park, in which you will find the Sydney Cricket Ground, the Sydney Football Stadium and the Entertainment Quarter.
Surry Hills
Surry Hills has a quaintness and bohemian beauty to it that is very rare in such an inner city suburb. The art galleries, antique dealers, cafes and pubs make it a haven for students and artists alike.
Manly
Set on the northern beaches, Manly is home to a beautiful beach, a café culture and a nightlife which is the envy of other suburbs. A ferry from Circular Quay is a must with its wonderful views of the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House.
