Sydney, the multicultural one
Sydney is a real big city, reminds me a lot of USA cities. Sydney is busy, big, high and beautiful. Sydney is multicultural and cosmopolitan.
It is surprising how there are so many places close to the city that are connected to nature and the environment. I found this particular connection just there. There are bush walking tracks around the beaches up north and public pools made by the ocean water that are free and easy to find.
Some of the walks are just known by locals and not a lot of tourists get to discover what is the real beauty of this city. As good as the connection between city and nature is the diversity of the city. The city is old and classy close to the rocks, is fancy and stylish near Darling Harbour (it is exactly the right name for this area of the city..), is modern and new in the CBD and in the meantime is asiatic in chinatown, funky/ hipster in the suburbs and always vibrant every time of the day.
I spent a week and I went back to the city with my sister for other three days. I've done some of the touristic attractions, seen the city from the Tower, gone around malls and nice shops, walked it all the way from the Rocks to North Sydney at Milsons Point through the Harbour Bridge, from the Opera House to the Botanic Garden, from Chinatown to the nearest suburbs. I went to Bondi beach for one afternoon, and to Manly for a Sudnay, spent time with friends dining and partying, seen the fireworks at Darling Harbour - that are hold every saturdays in the summer months.
Sydney is good, is fun, is relaxing in some particuar spots, is adventure and walking, exploration at every corner. Sydney is a good city, you can't get bored of it, so many are the places you could go and explore, but is a city and is caotic, stressed and I don't think I would enjoy commute there on a daily base so far are the places from one side to the other.
My favourite places are for sure the Rocks in the inner city and the north suburbs near Nelson Bay (where the popular Oaks pub and hotel is located, I recommend it for a drink!!) out of the city, a nice and quiet suburbs with a lot of nice houses and is well maintained and clean, very different from George Street, Central Station area and/or Circular Quay.
However you go to Sydney, just walk around and discover every corner of it! it's so full of surprises and it's kind of nice. The visitor centre offers some free walking tours of the city and the Rocks as well, so why not to go and join?
Go and walk your way, I'll leave you with some photos:
