• The Rocks/Circular Quay: Gorgeous views of Sydney Harbour, loads of eateries and watering holes, and a busy open-air market make this a top-notch district for visitors. Shangri-La Hotel, Sydney sports spectacular views of the harbour and Sydney Opera House, while the Four Seasons Hotel Sydney is just a few minutes’ walk from The Rocks Markets and the Museum of Contemporary Art.
• Bondi Beach: Simply paradise for surfers, backpackers, and other laid-back adventurers. Yes, Bondi Beach is home to a famous stretch of sand and waves, but it’s also got pubs and cafés where you’ll meet travellers from around the world.
• Surry Hills: This hip and funky district is great for art lovers, foodies, and craft cocktail sippers. Check out Paramount Coffee Project, a collaborative roastery and café with a tasty all-day menu. Plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available, too!

• The Northern Beaches has the sun, sand, and sea, so jump in with the whole gang. Manly Surf School—the only full-time surf school at Manly Beach—is open every day, year-round, with surfing lessons for all ages and experience levels.
• Darling Harbour is packed with family fun. Ride the Star of the Show Ferris Wheel and make some aquatic friends at SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium. When the kids get hungry, take them to Fratelli Fresh Darling Harbour—your little ones eat free as long as an adult buys a meal.

To save money, consider Sydney accommodation apartments in the suburb of Camperdown, especially if you’re traveling with the whole family. It’s slightly outside the city centre, which makes it more affordable. But you can easily hop a bus from Camperdown straight to Sydney CBD, and bus fare is only a few dollars. Quality Suites Camperdown, near the University of Sydney, saves you even more cash when you cook meals in the kitchenette instead of eating out.
