Let’s get started with the Sydney tips, shall we?
1.
The sun is incredibly strong
Believe us, you don’t want to be the pale-skinned Brit strolling around town in a tank top and
no sunscreen, eager to get some sun and work on your summer tan.
You'll burn, it'll hurt, and you'll be wandering around town for the next week as your skin
tries to shed its upper layers in the most ugly way possible.
The sun shines brighter in Australia than everywhere else on the planet.
You'll feel the burn after just a few minutes of exposure to the sun's rays.
If you don't take care, even on a cloudy day, you could easily turn into a particularly
unpleasant shade of lobster red.
2.
Bondi is not the best beach in town
Bondi Beach may be the poster child for Sydney's beaches, catering to the hipster coffee-drinking
crowd and boasting a roster of world-famous lifeguards.
It's also a popular tourist destination, so you'll have a hard time finding a sand patch
to fit your towel into on a bright Saturday afternoon.
Sydney's beaches are arguably one of the city's best assets, with over 100 lengths of fluffy
golden sand bordering the coastline, and there are plenty more waterside locations where
you won't have to struggle for a spot among the crowds.
3.
Travel is cheapest on Sundays
You'll likely rack up quite a travel cost if you're traveling the city at all hours
of the day and night, hopping from bus, train, and boat to your heart's desire.
Travel on Sunday is capped at $2.50 all day on any form of transportation, so delay the
most expensive trips – like the harbour boat or an out-of-city rail ride – until
then if you're on a budget.
Pick up an Opal Card for public transportation from any newsagency and download the TripView
App for schedules and live tracking on all routes.
4.
Don’t miss out on the nature around Sydney
Tired of being surrounded by concrete?
That’s exactly how we felt after a few days in Sydney.
That’s why we were very glad that the city is surrounded by national parks, providing
enough chances for outdoor activities.
Climb the tallest cliffs, look for quiet beaches, or go on a trek through the eucalyptus groves.
If the city isn't your thing, a train journey away there's enough to do, like the wonderfull
Blue Mountains.
5.
Sydney is the perfect starting point for a roadtrip through Australia
Sydney is the perfect place to start your Australian road trip.
It has a large international airport and Australia's most popular backpacker-route, right on its
doorstep.
Surf your way to Byron Bay, dive the Great Barrier Reef, and visit Daintree National
Park's rainforests.
There are numerous free camping or parking spaces along the major backpacker trail, as
well as free amenities on many of the beaches along the way.
Now it’s time to start packing and make Sydney your next dream destination.
