Jutting out into the Sydney harbor against the backdrop of the vast Harbour Bridge, the curvaceous Sydney Opera House is one of the world’s best-loved tourist attractions. While the UNESCO World Heritage listed landmark certainly put Sydney on the map, the city is packed with hidden gems beyond the main draws. Away from the busy Bondi Beach, the Hermitage Foreshore Walk is one of Australia’s most spectacular coastal walks with sunbathing water lizards and breathtaking Opera House views. The winding alleyways and cobbled streets of the Rocks and Millers Point are a reminder of Sydney’s dark history as a destination for convicts from across the British Empire. What is more, the formerly down on their luck neighborhoods of Surrey Park, Balmain and Newtown have become thriving hubs for Sydney’s ever growing foodie revolution. In short, Sydney is a microcosm of Australia with its combination of cosmopolitan culture, fascinating history and spectacular natural beauty.
