I-creamy Artisan Gelato

Skyview Plaza, George St, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia

---

Hidden in a shopping center, I creamy is definitely worth stopping by! First and foremost, I-Creamy easily served me the prettiest looking gelato I've ever had! They too have some awesome and unique flavours such as Pinky Milky and White Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake. Their ice creams are so very creamy and delicious you'll want to return!

Hacienda Sydney

61 Macquarie St, Sydney, New South Wales 2000 Australia

 If you fancy a cocktail along with breathtaking view - this place is perfect! Hacienda Sydney, a truly vibrant venue, stands out for its impeccable decor and stunning views over Sydney Harbour. The view is seriously amazing. The food was beyond tasty. Would recommend the sliders and the pumpkin flowers. The ambiance overall feels fresh, chic and upscale!

Henry Deane 

35 Bettington St, Millers Point NSW 2000, Australia

---

If I had to describe Henry Dean in just two words, they would be modern sophistication. Starting with their splendid drink selection, shared plates and fabulous views. A must do any day of the week. Beats all those overpriced restaurants around & overlooking the quay. This is unquestionably a top spot to meet friends & enjoy the best of Sydney

---

The Bourke Street Bakery

633 Bourke St, Surry Hills NSW 2010, Australia

---

This place is probably the best baker near the CBD. Located right on Surry hills, it has great coffee and a fabulous variety of freshly baked goods. I myself blissed out on their Ginger Brûlée tart!
You must endeavour to come here and experience Bourke Street Bakery. You will not be disappointed!

---

Sydney Sky Tower

100 Market St, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia

---

The views from the buffet restaurant at the Sky Tower are incredible being the highest point in Sydney (as high as The Shard in London). It takes the tower 1 1/2 hours to do a complete circuit. The food was wonderful. Great selection of food, definitely something for everyone! I would recommend you reserve in advance on their website!

DO

Taronga Zoo

Bradleys Head Road, Mosman, Sydney, NSW, Australia

​Whats the first thing everyone will ask you after visiting Australia ? Did you see any kangaroos/koalas ? Taronga, located on shoreline of Sydney Harbour is easily Austrlia's best zoo. The establishment is home to thousands of fascinating animals, including Australian natives such as the koala, kangaroo and platypus. Certainly one of the cities top attractions.

Opera Show at Sydney Opera House

Bennelong Point, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia

Whether you’re a local or a tourist, a first-timer or an aficionado, the Sydney Opera House has something for everyone. I myself would recommend you go see the Great Opera Hits featuring classics such as Bizet, Puccini, Rossini, Verdi ! Expect to laugh, shed some tears, and even sing along to Figaro with the rest of the audience!

Manly Beach

Manly, New South Wales, Australia 

---

Manly beach offers an iconic Australian experience - white sand, surf, boutiques and beachside restaurants! It can be reached by a ferry ride from Sydney followed by a short walk from the terminal. Also the trip over on the ferry gives great views of the opera house and bridge. So its a win win situation, huh!

Swim at Icebergs Bondi

1 Notts Ave, Bondi NSW 2026, Australia

Heading East of the city to Bondi Beach is an absolute must when in Sydney. The Icebergs Bondi Baths have been a landmark of Bondi Beach for over 100 years. You can enjoy some laps in the 50 metre Olympic pool or take your kids for a swim in the smaller kid's pool. All whilst enjoying stunning views over Bondi!
