Sydney is known to the world for its many iconic landmarks, from the Sydney Harbour Bridge to our Opera House and its proud display of Australia\u2019s architectural finesse.<\/span><\/p>\n

But behind the bright lights and well-trodden avenues, there is a city that we locals know, filled with an array of diverging cultures slowly brewing over the past decades.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the Yelp-following tourist to truly acquaint themselves with our beautiful city, it\u2019s time to put away the map and venture into these lesser-known territories…<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Catch a public ferry and explore the shores of Manly<\/h2>\n

One of the greatest privileges us locals have is the cheap public ferries that frequently pull up outside Circular Quay docks. With a return ticket costing less than your lunch, hopping aboard a ferry is one of the greatest ways to see the many bays and inlets normally hidden from plain sight. <\/span><\/p>\n

By far the most popular stop is the docks of Manly Wharf, where passengers will find themselves on Sydney\u2019s northern coastline, across from the shores of the city. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sydney (Circular Quay) – Manly Ferry<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Cost: $7.80 USD return<\/span><\/p>\n

Runs approximately every half hour until midnight<\/span><\/p>\n

Journey time approximately 30 minutes<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Take a walk down the world’s finest walking tracks<\/h2>\n

Arriving on the shores of Manly will bring you to the starting point of one of the world\u2019s finest network of walking trails. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Manly to Spit Bridge walk<\/span><\/a> is universally known as Sydney\u2019s best walking trail and is 10km walk that takes about three hours to explore. The winding trek will take you through lush bushland around the coast, past pristine beaches and scenic lookouts with uninhibited views of Sydney Harbour, perfect for whale-watching in the colder months. <\/span><\/p>\n

Manly to Spit Walk<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Length: 10 km<\/span><\/p>\n

Walking time: approximately 3-4 hours for one way at a steady pace<\/span><\/p>\n

A more recent addition is the Manly to North Head <\/a>\u00a0ci<\/span><\/span>rcuit<\/span>, which takes hikers down to quieter beaches and reserves. One of the top spots is Shelly Beach, a secluded beach known as one of just two west-facing ocean beaches along Australia\u2019s east coast. Being uniquely protected from ocean swells, Shelly Beach is one of our calmest beaches and a popular spot for beginners snorkeling.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the very end of this trail is North Head, a spectacular coastline with simply the most awe-inspiring views of nature Sydney has to offer. The view is absolutely magnificent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manly to North Head Walk<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Length: 9.5 km<\/span><\/p>\n

Walking time: approx 4 hours to complete circuit<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Meet the local artists at Newtown<\/h2>\n

Newtown<\/a><\/span> is the beating heart of Sydney\u2019s bohemian arts scene – for the uninitiated, it\u2019s the gateway to our vibrant crowd of young, unorthodox artists.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just a short train ride away from Sydney\u2019s city area, Newtown\u2019s finest offerings stretch across King Street and Enmore Road, a busy strip filled with alternative stores and restaurants. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in the area don\u2019t miss out on\u00a0lining up for gelato at Cow and the Moon, a quirky dessert spot recently crowned as the world\u2019s best gelato makers. <\/span><\/p>\n

Thai food is also a must-try at the famous Newtown restaurant Thai Pothong and has been repeatedly named Sydney\u2019s best Thai restaurant, a great feat in a city renowned for its diverse Asian cuisine. <\/span><\/p>\n

Cow and the Moon<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Open seven days of the week till late <\/span><\/p>\n

Location: 181 Enmore Road, approx 8 minute walk from Newtown Station<\/span><\/p>\n

The sun sets only to welcome the buzz of cool night-time hangouts, bubbling with the unapologetic enthusiasm of our local live acts. For a slice of comedy, the Enmore Theatre hosts live comedy shows every Tuesday night. For therapeutic tunes to cure your ear ache from chart-hitting pop songs, head to The Vanguard – all throughout the week, this delightful restaurant serves their food with intimate musical performances. <\/span><\/p>\n

4. Drop by the occasional food festival<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no question that modern Sydney\u2019s diverse cultures have birthed a rich and vibrant food scene<\/span><\/a> rivalling the world\u2019s most progressive stages.<\/span><\/p>\n

For visitors looking to sample a palate of Sydney\u2019s best flavours, look out for the food events that pop up all year round.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep your eyes peeled for our annual Good Food Month<\/span><\/a>, where we fulfill our cravings for Asian cuisine at the Night Noodle Markets. Launched just a few years ago, this has quickly grown into one of the city\u2019s most beloved food festivals, where the best picks from Sydney\u2019s renowned food joints assemble into a delicious Asian hawker market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For wine connoisseurs looking for a more mature taste, Sydney has a growing food and wine<\/span><\/a> scene and a string of yearly events to match. The Good Food and Wine Show is one of Australia\u2019s largest food showcases, where winemakers all across the state bring their best casks of wine to Sydney for a fabulous weekend of taste-testing. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sydney’s Good Food Month<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

5. Venture into Sydney’s small bar scene<\/h2>\n

Sydney\u2019s nightlife has transformed dramatically in recent years following the introduction of strict lockout laws (i.e. last call regulations for North American readers). Small, hidden bars<\/span><\/a> channelling New York\u2019s speakeasy culture from its 1920s prohibition era are now taking over the quieter corners of the city.<\/span><\/p>\n

A personal favourite haunt is the popular Baxter Inn<\/span><\/a>, recently voted one of the world\u2019s best bars with an eyebrow-raising selection of whiskeys. Hidden behind a dank laneway, this underground bar now has a reputation for long lines, drawing regular crowds of sophisticated locals from their hiding places.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Baxter Inn<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Open: Monday to Saturday<\/span><\/p>\n

Location:\u00a0 <\/span>Basement, 152-156 Clarence Street<\/span><\/p>\n

Website: http:\/\/thebaxterinn.com\/<\/span><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

For a more low-key night out, Grandma\u2019s Bar<\/span><\/a> is conspicuously hidden in a basement sitting below a staircase entrance guarded by a stuffed deer wearing grandma\u2019s knits. The mount raises questions of its own, but venture further and you\u2019ll be greeted with an inner-city tropical hideout that brings the fun back into rum. <\/span><\/p>\n
