06/08/17 - Sydney

A month or so before they arrived, I messaged my Mum and Dad and asked them what they’d like to do whilst they were here, and where they’d like to go. Sydney was one of the choices. My mum did 6 months in Australia when she was 18, and she still talks about how great Sydney is, so I knew how much she wanted to go back. I also knew it would be no easy feat, we’re a 10 hour drive north from Sydney, and to get there, do it all, and get back would take a minimum of two days, and would leave us exhausted. But we had spare days, three drivers, and no pressing engagements so we decided to go for it.

We left on the Saturday night at around 8pm, and drove non-stop for 10 hours in shifts. My parents drove most of it and I did around 2 hours or so, with Daniel in the passenger seat, so they could both get some sleep in the back. The journey was fine, for me anyway as I slept through most of it. There were fears that we might hit a kangaroo, as we’d seen a few on the side of the road, and there were warnings everywhere, and it was pitch black. A kangaroo hopping out in front of you when you’re doing 110km/h on the motorway is less than ideal, but thankfully we (and the kangaroos) didn’t have to deal with anything so awful. The sat-nav did get a bit confused as it was a new road, so the arrow sat in fields for hours twirling around, trying to figure out what was going on. But we made it, in one piece, to Sydney at around 7.30 Sunday morning. We parked (when it finally opened) for a $15 all day flat rate, and headed off to explore the city.

We only had one day to do Sydney, which sounds like an impossible task. But thanks to the invention of hop-on hop-off services, it turned out to be quite easy. We used the Big Bus hop-on hop-off service, and the Captain Cook hop-on hop-off boat. We caught the train to Circular Quay and booked tickets for both, I used my student card which is still valid until September for a discount, much to my mother’s delight. They also offer senior discount, which is where my dad comes in handy. We grabbed some breakfast and then headed for the bus. We bagged the front seats on the top deck, it was quite quiet as it was early, and stayed on the bus tour for the entire route. The Big Bus tours offer a red route and a blue route; the red does all the major areas and landmarks of the city, and if you change onto the blue route, you can also do the famous Bondi Beach. We were pushed for time so we skipped Bondi, as the whole thing would have taken 4 hours. The sightseeing tour around the city took an hour and a half and included every important inch of Sydney. there was loads of information and it was a beautiful winter’s day (Australian winter so around 20°C) , so it was nice to just sit back, listen, and enjoy the city sights.

After our bus tour, we headed to Circular Quay to hop on our boat tour of the harbour. Captain Cook provide various different boat cruises regularly throughout the day. The hop-on, hop-off tour stops at 11 places around the harbour. We were a bit pushed for time so chose two stops and decided we’d stay on the boat for the rest of the journey, to enjoy the sights. Our first stop was Fort Denison, and we arrived on the island just in time for the daily cannon firing. Fort Denison is an island, formerly a penal site and defensive fortress, that sits in Sydney harbour, about 1km east of the opera house. The island is now a protected national park and popular tourist attraction. Every day at 1pm, a cannon is fired, this tradition began in 1906, and was intended to help sailors to accurately set their ship’s chronometers. The daily firing stopped during WWII, as it was feared that it would alarm residents, a fair assumption, and it was started again in 1986. It was a pretty cool thing to see, and learn about, we all did a countdown to the firing (which actually turned out to be late, the gun fired on ‘2′), and covered our ears to protect them from the sound. The ranger was really informative, and told us a lot of interesting historical facts about the firing, and the island itself. There’s also a free museum that tells you all about the history of the island, including a film with historical footage and pictures. The island is not only a really fascinating piece of history, it also boasts some of the best views of the city, this was an excellent opportunity to take photos whilst we waited for our next boat.

After Fort Denison, we stayed on the boat until our final destination, enjoying the sights and soaking up the sun (it was also so windy, would definitely recommend taking an extra coat or something, we went in Winter, but even so, the 20 degree weather felt like 10 when that wind blew). It was a really pleasant and relaxing journey that provided amazing views of the city and surrounding areas, and a lot of interesting information too.

Our final stop was Darling Harbour to grab something to eat. Darling Harbour is packed full of restaurants and bars, if you want to eat but aren’t sure what you fancy, head here, there are so many choices of restaurant, and some really cool bars too. We settled on an Italian place overlooking the harbour (Darling, not Sydney) where there was some sort of boat/yacht thing going on, I think rich people were letting the masses on board their boats for a nosey or something like that. One of the most exciting moments of the day was when we thought Russell Crowe walked past (we were split 50/50 as to whether it was actually him). I tweeted him to confirm, but before he got back to me, the same man walked past us again, and we were able to confirm that no, it definitely wasn’t Russell Crowe, much to our disappointment. After our late lunch we headed back towards the hop-on hop-off bus, planning to get off at a stop near where the car was parked. On the way back to the car, we passed The Chinese Garden of Friendship, which I’d wanted to visit all day. The gardens were built in 1988, colonial Australia’s bicentennial year, as a symbol of friendship between Sydney, and the city of Guangzhou in Guangdong province in China, the two cities are sister cities, and both states are sister states. An oasis of peace in the city, it boasts beautiful waterfalls, traditional Chinese architecture, exotic plants, ponds filled with Koi carp, and a traditional Chinese tea house. Unfortunately, it was quite late in the day and the gardens were just closing as we arrived, but it’s at the top of my list for my next visit to the city.

Our day in Sydney was well worth the long drive it took to get there. We packed so much in in such a short space of time, and really got to experience one of the most iconic cities in the world. It was especially great that I got to share it with my parents, and that my Mum got to go back to one of her favourite places. If you’re in Sydney, and pushed for time, I would definitely recommend doing the hop-on hop-off thing. My favourite was the boat, that would definitely be my first pick, and there are so many interesting stops around the harbour. But the bus tour gives you loads of great info and you get to see the whole city in a couple of hours, as well as Bondi if you choose to do the blue line as well. I can’t wait to go back and explore, and see what else this iconic, and vibrant city has to offer!

9th March 2017

My alarm went off at 1000. Stupid alarm. I wanted more sleep. The cleaners were already shouting in to clear the stuff from the floors and under the bed. I wanted to cry. It was my day off, please just let me sleep... I got up and cleared the floor. I put everything on top of my bed and we went down for breakfast. I wasn't particularly that hungry and Steve never eats first thing. We had a bowl of cereal and that was it. Breakfast was packed again. I'm not sure why either. It's so late in the day, why aren't people out enjoying themselves.... in the rain. Steve and I got back to the room and chilled out. We then both got showered and ready. We decided to go and see Darling Harbour as we'd never been down there before. Steve had been rained off again - so annoying. Why has Sydney got so much rain!!! It's not even winter yet. We got onto the train for 2 stops to Town Hall. It was a 15 minute walk from there. I'm fairly sure we past China Town but that doesn't interest me. I don't like China and I don't like Chinese food. We got to the harbour and it was flooded with restaurants and bars. It was lovely. The sun came out and we managed to sit on a bench alongside the water watching the taxi boats go back and forth. It's the little things in life. We must've sat talking for half an hour, probably more. There was a lovely children's play area, climbing frames, swings, 'watering hole'. There were sun loungers made out of wood and grass everywhere for people to chill out. I imagine if I handed my CV out, I'd be likely to get at least one interview surely... We grabbed a bite to eat which was nice. We continued walking around the harbour and went back to Town Hall station. We walked through a shopping centre, window shopping as per normal. I managed to pull Steve into VS and Lush. I coated myself in glittery bars of moisturiser. I can't afford a bar for myself so why not go in for the freebies? We got back around 1800. We was speaking to Sam for 40 minutes. Sam is from Miami but has been sponsored to be in Australia. She works at Mad Monkey on reception everyday for 12 hours 0800-2000. Being sponsored is where a company gives you the ability to live in Australia forever. You are obliged to work for that company for 5 years and then you become a resident. You are allowed to leave the company after your 5 years have finished. It's quite easy to get sponsorship here. You just have to work hard and get your employer to like you... It's offered out a lot and you don't have to have a trade. Sam invited us to the Sydney Tattoo Exhibition at the weekend. It's happening Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Tattooist's from all over the world attend, as do guests to see their favourite artists. TV recordings will be there, shows and performances like fire breathing too. It's the biggest tattoo exhibition in the world. You can get walk up tattoo's for good prices. It's still $200 minimum to get a tattoo here in Sydney though. Steve wanted the outline of Australia on his calf - no bigger than the palm of your hand. He was quoted $250. $250 for basically a circle!!! We booked our tickets and we will be going Saturday. Sam gave me Saturday off work too which was nice. The weather is meant to be hot this weekend so we are planning to go to Manly on Sunday. I would've preferred to work Saturday and have Sunday off mind you. Steve and I got into bed and went onto the laptop. I think we have decided to move to Melbourne next week. Most people are telling us to move about before we stick to farm work for 3 months. We really want to do the Great Ocean Road in Melbourne and the weather is great to do it now. We would hire a car and spend roughly 3 days completing it. We haven't looked that much into it though. We weren't hungry for dinner so we went without any. It got to 0030 and Steve got into bed. I have to be up for 0900 and Steve's alarm goes off for 0515 in case he has work.

That’s why we’ve compiled a list of the 7 best things to do in Sydney, so you don’t miss out on any of the city’s greatest hits.

Read on the learn everything you need to know about Sydney’s top tourist attractions

1. Visit the Iconic Opera House

Regardless of your depth of knowledge regarding Australia, the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Sydney is probably the Opera House. Completed in 1973, this iconic building has come to be synonymous with The Harbour City due to its striking appearance and picturesque location.

After you’ve taken a few pictures of the architectural masterpiece, you can journey inside its walls to enjoy a tour of the building, a live performance, or a lovely meal.

2. Relax at Bondi Beach

You can’t visit Sydney without spending some time in one of the world’s most famous beaches, Bondi Beach. A quick drive from the city center, Bondi Beach is known for its crystal clear water and excellent surf.

If you’re not a surfer, not to worry! This beach offers many other attractions, such as the Bondi to Bronte coastal walk, as well as a wealth of shops, cafes, and restaurants.

3. Spend a Day in Darling Harbour

As Sydney is known as The Harbour City, it’s no surprise that one of its most popular features is a harbour! More specifically, Darling Harbour, a recreational complex in the heart of the city.

While it’s certainly an option to just stroll through and take in the sites, you would be amiss not to enjoy at least a few of its many attractions!

During the day, be sure to visit the Chinese Garden of Friendship and sip a cup of tea as you wander through a sea of blooming flowers, babbling waterfalls, and noble willows. Afterward, take in the exhibits at the Australian National Maritime Museum and SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium.

And the fun continues once the sun goes down! Experience the harbour’s vibrant nightlife, including a bowling alley, laser tag, and a variety of restaurants, before you turn in for the evening.

4. Stroll Through the Royal Botanic Gardens

Just south of the Sydney Opera House are the Royal Botanic Gardens, one of the city’s most frequently visited locations. These gardens are not only stunningly beautiful but also the oldest in Australia, having been established over 200 years ago in 1816.

There are a few options for viewing the gardens. You can take a self-guided tour, follow a guide through the gardens as you learn about its botanical history, or hop aboard the Choo Choo express for a scenic overview.

The gardens are walking distance from the Opera House, so keep that in mind when organizing your itinerary!

5. Visit the Taronga Zoo

A quick ferry ride from the city’s center will bring you to the shores of Sydney Harbour and the Taronga Zoo. This zoo has been open for over 100 years, and for good reason! Home to over 5,000 animals from over 350 species, the Taronga Zoo is passionate about conservation and sustainability.

After you’ve spent the day among the wildlife, tested your courage on the sky-high ropes adventure course, and taken a ride on the zoo train and Sky Safari, you can keep the fun going by spending the night!

That’s right, Taronga Zoo offers two overnight options for its guests who wish to do so. You can spend the night in luxury at the Wildlife Retreat or opt for the Roar and Snore, an overnight safari experience.

6. Enjoy the Bustling Nightlife

On top of its many daytime attractions, Sydney boasts one of the most lively nightlife experiences in the southern hemisphere. There’s something for everyone after dark, from bars to clubs to some of the best brothels in Australia.

Visit the Kings Cross area and wander Oxford Street and Surry Hills to dance the night away in a super-club or have a few drinks and appetizers in one of the area’s many pubs.

7. Take a Ghost Tour

If more traditional nightlife activities aren’t your thing, spend the evening exploring the spookier side of Sydney with a ghost tour. There are several tours to choose from, as many areas of Sydney are quite haunted!

The endless supply of ghost stories come from Sydney’s dark history. The first English settlers used Sydney as a convict colony, meaning most of its inhabitants were convicted criminals.

Sydney is also home to sites like Quarantine Station, used to keep individuals suspected of carrying contagious diseases separate from the general population.

Add These Things to Do in Sydney to Your List of Vacation Activities

When planning your trip to Australia, adding these things to do in Sydney to your list of activities is a must! Sydney is a fantastic choice for a vacation destination, as there truly is something for everyone, regardless of age or interests.

Whether you’re a history buff, a paranormal fanatic, or an outdoor enthusiast, you’ll love your time in The Harbour City!

Though planning every minute of your vacation in advance is unnecessary, it’s good to have a rough idea of what activities you want to experience during your trip. Doing so will help you avoid wasting precious vacation time trying to decide which attractions to visit.

Looking for more exciting ideas for your next vacation? Be sure to check out our blog!

Sydney Hatted Adventure - Spice Temple, Mr Wong, ester, Sokyo, Cho Cho San, and Bennelong Cured and Cultured

Below is a quick review of some of my favorite hatted restaurants in Sydney:

1. Spice Temple : 10 Bligh St, Sydney NSW 2000

After a long day in the office, it was time to return to the Spice Temple to enjoy my favorite Chinese dishes:

1. Fried eggplant with spicy ginger and garlic dressing.

2. Hunan style pork ribs with black bean and chili.

3. Stir fried wagyu brisket with baby eggplant and chili paste.

4. Yunnan style hotpot with fresh shiitake, oyster, enoki, and wild Chinese mushrooms.

As always, the fried eggplant and the mushroom hotpot stole the show from its meaty counterparts.

Note to self: Only order vegetarian dishes during my next visit.

2. Mr Wong : 3 Bridge Ln, Sydney NSW 2000

After a couple of misses, I finally got a seat at Mr Wong, the hatted restaurant which is renowned for serving delectable Cantonese cuisine in a lavish French colonial setting.

My weekend dim sum session featured pork and prawn shumai, pork xiao long bao, and Peking Duck. The dishes lived up to expectations with an outstanding display of crispiness and flavors by the famous Peking Duck.

It is truly well worth the wait so get in line before seats run out.

3. ester : 46-52 Meagher St, Chippendale NSW 2008

For Sunday brunch, I decided to take a long walk to visit ester , a cozy hatted restaurant specializing in wood fired dishes.

After surveying the menu, I decided to indulge in a blood sausage served on a slice of soft white bread, a small wood fired cauliflower with almond cream and mint, and a beautiful moreton bay bug served with shrimp butter and native tamarind.

Each dish is outstanding, bursting with juices and flavors from careful preparations in their wood fired oven. The moreton bay bug was the best I have ever had and the dish gave me a new found appreciation for the crustacean.

Please do yourself a favor and visit the restaurant for an unforgettable culinary experience.

4. Sokyo : Level G, The Darling The Star/80 Pyrmont Street, Pyrmont NSW 2009

Today is a special day indeed as I finally found a dining buddy to accompany me to Sokyo to savor its innovative Japanese dishes.

Dinner began with the refreshing Kingfish Miso Ceviche followed by the crispy Shiitake and Eggplant tempura.

With our appetite whipped up, it was time to welcome the heavenly Miso Glazed Toothfish followed by Tuna Crispy Rice Nigiri and Queensland Sushi Roll featuring Spanner Crab with Spicy Aioli and Avocado wrapped in Soy Paper.

Our dinner adventure concluded with Salmon Belly Aburi Nigiri and Maguro Tataki.

With all five senses completely satisfied, my dinner party walked out of the restaurant discussing our next visit. It was just too good not to try it again and again.

5. Cho Cho San : 73 MacLeay St, Potts Point NSW 2011

Since it was my last day in Sydney before my flight back home, I decided to indulge in two meals for the night.

First stop of the night is at Cho Cho San with a playful izakaya set that began with edaname in nori and togarashi followed by eggplant miso stick and scallop with ikura and ponzu.

I ended my quick visit with a tangy Japanese tonkatsu curry and a cooling green tea soft serve.

As day turns to night, my next stop beckons as my tummy yearns for more delicious dishes.

6. Bennelong Cured and Cultured : Bennelong Point Sydney Opera House, Sydney NSW 2000

After planning for a few nights, I have finally arrived at Bennelong Cured and Cultured to sample its famous tasting menu at Cured & Cultured.

Each bite is simply a work of art, honed to perfection from its rock oyster and red claw yabby to its king prawn and sesame toast, floral salad, and suckling pig sausage roll.

I feel a sense of peace and delight as I ended my perfect night with a white peach bellini while admiring the beautiful skyline by the harbour.

Check out my other entries on my visits to Automata, Sixpenny, and Firedoor.

Sydney – Pancakes on The Rocks – Miss Barlow

If it’s a Friday afternoon and you might be heading in direction of one in all Australia’s largest cities with none booked lodging – don’t anticipate finding any.

We had spent the final 2 months out on the attractive blue water of Cairns or up excessive within the Atherton Tablelands, so if I’m completely sincere I wasn’t actually trying ahead to visiting the extremely populated city sprawl of Sydney. We naively thought that we might simply rock as much as someplace and keep with none issues, which fortunately we did, however not earlier than attempting 5 or 6 different locations that have been absolutely booked!

Prepare carriage rooms on the Railway Sq. YHA

We have been fortunate sufficient to return throughout the YHA ‘Railway Sq.’, a spotless, lately refurbished and air–conditioned hostel. We fortunately paid for four nights at $131 per night time for the 5 of us. It couldn’t have been in a greater location, extraordinarily central, adjoining the central practice station and most curiously providing bedrooms that have been transformed railway carriages. It was nice for exploring the town and likewise stress-free by the hostel pool, utilizing their free wifi and lighting up a BBQ every time we needed.

Manly Seaside

The primary purpose for venturing into Sydney was to ‘tick it off the record’, and nonetheless a lot a repute that phrase has – Sydney has some of the well-known landmarks on the planet – The Sydney Opera Home. Our first day was stuffed with all issues ‘touristy’ – we caught a practice into the centre and hopped on the ferry in direction of Manly Seaside, previous the spectacular Opera Home, trying again I want I had captured that second with extra images and element in my journal. The climate was incredible and every thing concerning the construction of the Opera Home was mesmerising. We loved lunch on the promenade and a day lazing across the golden shoreline, solely popping out of the ocean to keep away from the following wave of Blue Bottle jelly fish! It was precisely how I had all the time imagined Australia, bikini clad ladies and bronzed surfer dudes all over the place…

Sydney Opera Home

I used to be lucky sufficient to get in touch with one other British buddy who was in Sydney on the time for a household wedding ceremony. We met up for the day and being Chinese language New Yr the celebrations have been in full swing with events and boat races all over the place. The Harbour was a hive of exercise and everybody was out for time. We explored the markets after which determined to signal our lives away and spent $40 {dollars} to be taken by pace boat handed the well-known opera home, we have been strapped in and the captain loved testing us with quick speeds and turns virtually tipping us over at one level. A depraved adrenaline rush, that made us hungry, so we headed to ‘The Rocks’ to benefit from the beautiful views of Darling Harbour and have drinks within the sunshine, adopted by among the greatest pancakes I’ve ever had at ‘Pancakes on the Rocks’.

Dragon Race, Darling Harbour

Billy Connolly

That night we, after all, needed to see the Harbour at night time and headed straight to The Royal Opera Home. We questioned round this spectacular constructing attempting to {photograph} its awesomeness. It regarded simply unimaginable lit up at the hours of darkness blue sky; completely nothing I write might ever do it justice. Not lengthy after we noticed a restaurant on the harbour and headed in direction of it to seize an out of doors desk with that beautiful view. Now, we had observed that Billy Connelly had been doing just a few Opera Home exhibits over that weekend, however we weren’t anticipating to stumble upon him at that very second. Dressed all in black and clean-shaven (for as soon as) he strolled casually with what regarded like a buddy however extra seemingly a bodyguard in direction of his Saturday night time gig. He’s recognized to scout the realm earlier than his present to collect ammunition for his native viewers! We stopped him briefly to say whats up and inform how a lot we admired him, he graciously greeted us again. As an avid fan it naturally made my dad’s journey, particularly as a few of our journey was impressed by Billy’s wild adventures!

Sydney Opera Home

Though I hadn’t been that excited for Sydney it ended up being some of the enjoyable, vibrant cities I’d visited in Australia, a far cry from the ghost metropolis of Canberra and the European really feel of Melbourne. I’d genuinely return any time to discover extra of the town, with its scorching, sandy seashores and glamorous Darling Harbour – it’s received a lot to supply!

To Try in 2019: The Best New Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars in Copenhagen

Copenhagen’s food and drink scene is in no danger of slowing down; there have been a consistent number of new openings that prove the capital city is as much a culinary hotspot as ever before.

Some locations are opened to much fanfare (there was a line outside of Hart Bageri for weeks!), while others open more quietly and build a fanbase over time.

These are the best new restaurants, cafes, and bars in Copenhagen:

Restaurants

noma

The new iteration of noma opened this year to much acclaim (naturally). With a new location and a gorgeous interior designed by Studio David Thulstrup, noma proved once again why it’s been considered one of the best restaurants in the world for years, and its reopening was greatly anticipated. noma now bases its menu on three seasons – vegetable season, seafood season, and forest & game season – changing the menu drastically to suit the ingredients that come with each season. A meal there consists of 20 courses.

Expert tip

If you’re a student, you can get a full meal there for only 1.000 DKK. Yes that’s expensive by most standards, but its less than half of what you’d normally pay!

noma

Refshalevej 96 1432 København K

Opening Hours: Sun & Mon Closed Tues – Sat 5:00 pm – midnight

Barabba

This spiffy Italian eatery and bar was an immediate hit; partly because the food and drink is delicious, but also partly because it’s one of the only restaurants to stay open until 2 am, making it the go-to spot for chefs who get off work late. The vibe in here is friendly and fun, and the menu is top-quality Italian dishes that feel comfortable but gourmet.

Barbarra

Store Kongensgade 34 1264 København K

Opening Hours: Mon & Tues Closed Weds & Thurs 6:00 pm – 1:00 am Fri – Sun 6:00 pm – 2:00 am

Mission CPH

Mission mixes Californian and Mediterranean sensibilities for a casual but delicious menu. The focus is on pizza and pasta. Enjoy sizeable dishes, local ingredients, and the gorgeous location at The Standard overlooking the harbour. This is one of Claus Meyers’ latest restaurants and, as with his other endeavours, it doesn’t disappoint; good food at fair prices and a laid-back atmosphere.

Mission CPH

The Standard Havnegade 44 1058 København K

Opening Hours: Sun – Tues Closed Thurs – Sat Lunch 12:00 – 3:30 pm Weds – Sat Dinner 5:30 – 10:00 pm

Tigermom

Opened by Relæ-alum Lisa Liv, Tigermom is the result of years of successful pop-ups and has been hotly anticipated. The menu is family-style Asian-inspired cuisine and a kickass range of cocktails. Worried that the dishes won’t be spicy enough? No problem; there’s a chilli pairing for your menu! Check this place out for something truly different and special.

Tigermom

Ryesgade 25 2200 København N

Opening Hours: Sun – Tues Closed Weds – Sat 5:30 – 10:00 pm

Restaurant Alouette

Housed in a converted pencil factory, this contemporary American restaurant has wowed Copenhagen since it opened. With a regularly-changing five course menu and an almost comically beautiful interior, Alouette is set to be one of the big culinary draws for Copenhagen in 2019. They are home to a monthly pop-up called Naim Nights; the kitchen is closed but there’s live music and you can buy drinks at the bar. If Alouette is generally out of your price range (it’s 695 DKK for the menu without drinks), Naim Nights is a good place to start!

Restaurant Alouette

Sturlasgade 14P, 1 sal 2300 København S

Opening Hours: Sun – Weds Closed Thurs – Sat Dinner (reservation only)

Restaurant Iluka

noma-alum Beau Clugsman’s seafood and vegetable restaurant presents the kind of dishes so beautiful you’ll be reluctant to eat…but you definitely should. The food is outstanding. Copenhagen was in need of a truly daring seafood restaurant, and this one is sure to stick around for a while.

Restaurant Iluka

Peder Skrams Gade 15 1054 København K

Opening Hours: Thurs – Mon 5:30 pm – midnight Tues & Weds Closed

Bar Pasta

Delicious, big helpings of pasta and other Italian delights for reasonable prices; it’s no wonder Bar Pasta has become a popular place for dinner and drinks in Nørrebro. Don’t forget the tiramisu at the end of the night!

Bar Pasta

Vedbækgade 13 2200 København N

Opening Hours: Mon – Sat 5:00 – 10:00 pm Sun Closed

The Blues Woman

American Southern food cooked with expert flavor profiles and a lot of passion; you’ll definitely want to try The Blues Woman when she finally opens up on 2019. Chef Amanda Yee’s successful pop-up in Vesterbro this year has us all yearning for more (we’ll take one million of those perfectly mixed Bloody Marys, thanks). The menu is unique in Copenhagen, yet each dish feels like home.

The Blues Woman

No location currently; keep an eye on their Instagram and Facebook for updates in 2019!

Motley

Just as the name says, the menu at this casual eatery is indeed motley. With their “dish of the day” ranging from curry to chilli con carne to duck confit to Moroccan aubergine, and a range of small snacks and drinks, Motley is an ideal place for a relaxed meal with friends or a quiet night on your own.

Motley

Ryesgade 30B 2200 København N

Opening Hours: Mon – Thurs 4:00 – 10:00 pm Fri & Sat 4:00 pm – midnight Sun 4:00 – 9:00 pm

Hot Pot Republic

Get ready to warm up. After a lengthy and successful pop-up, Hot Pot Republic has become a permanent fixture on Vesterbrogade. The idea is to eat socially; each meal consists of a pot of broth in the centre of the table, and then vegetables and meats are added as desired, with the overall flavors coming from a variety of Asian cuisines including Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. Choose your base broth and additional ingredients to create your own speech hot pot. This is a perfect winter meal with friends – and very affordable too!

Hot Pot Republic

Vesterbrogade 146 1620 København V

Opening Hours: Mon Closed Tues – Fri 5:30 – 11:00 pm Sat & Sun 12:00 – 3:00 pm

Cafes & Bakeries

Hart Bageri

Tartine’s Richard Hart and noma’s René Redzepi teamed up to open a bakery in Copenhagen and people went as totally bonkers for it as one would imagine. But, they’re not wrong. Both the pastries and breads are excellent (if a little pricey). The space is small, so you can either grab a quick coffee or take away; it’s not really a place to set up your laptop and spend the morning. Be prepared to wait for your goodies – the line is often quite long.

Hart Bageri

Gammel Kongevej 109 1850 Frederiksberg

Opening Hours: Mon – Fri 7:30 am – 6:00 pm Sat & Sun 8:00 am – 4:00 pm

Lille Bakery

Lille is an artisanal bakery and cafe in a large industrial space on Refshaleøen. They serve up hearty salads and open face sandwiches on fresh bread, as well as a range of fantastic pastries. The real stuff? Their doughnuts are outrageous; fluffy berliners filled with things like bay leaf cream. We just wish they packaged their doughnuts to-go a little better (they just throw ’em in a bag), so we could take more of them home!

Lille Bakery

Refshalevej 213B 1432 København K

Opening Hours: Mon & Tues Closed Weds – Sun 8:00 am – 5:00 pm

Broens Gadekøkken

On the bridge between Nyhavn and Refshaleøen, you’ll find the open-air market Broens Gadekøkken (The Bridge Street Kitchen). There’s lots of communal seating and offerings from Gasoline Grill, California Kitchen, Coffee Collective, and many more Copenhagen hotspots. When the weather is good, this is the spot to be!

Broens Gadekøkken

Strandgade 95 1401 Copenhagen K

Opening Hours: Every day 11:00 am – 10:00 pm

Coffee Collective & GRØD Opening Hours Mon – Fri 8:00 am – 10:00 pm Sat & Sun 9:00 am – 10:00 pm

NB: Broens Gadekøkken is closed from 24th December – 1st April.

Coffee Collective Bernikow

The best coffee roastery in Copenhagen opened their fourth shop this year. It’s in the centre of the city, hidden in a small alley, in a location that was once an old, smokey bodega. They serve coffee, of course, as well as coffee kombucha and coffee cocktails in the evening.

Coffee Collective Bernikow

Kristen Bernikows Gade 2 1105 København K, Denmark.

Opening Hours: Mon – Fri 7:00 am – 7:00 pm Sat 9:00 am – 7:00 pm Sun 9:00 am – 6:00 pm

Andersen & Maillard

A bakery, cafe, and roastery in Nørrebro with a soft minimalist interior and a seriously good array of pastries and coffee drinks. Their in-house roasted coffee is great, but you must try their kougin amaan.

Andersen & Maillard

Nørrebrogade 62 2200 København N

Opening Hours: Every day 7:00 am – 7:00 pm

Kafeteria at Statens Museum for Kunst

It’s hard to find a more beautiful space than Kafeteria at Statens Museum for Kunst. This cafe is located on the ground floor of the national museum and is both artistic, calming, and functional. The circular sitting section as you come in was created by Danish artist Danh Vo. The overall interior was lovingly designed by hip restauranteur Frederik Bille Brahe (also of Atelier September and Apollo Bar), and has that same sense of minimalist cool, but Kafeteria comes across as less affected than those spaces. Whether you’re planning to visit the museum or not, stop in for a coffee, a cake, and a flip through an art book while you take in the gorgeous surroundings.

Kafeteria at Statens Museum for Kunst

Sølvgade 48-50 1307 København K

Opening Hours: Mon Closed Tues – Sun 11:00 am – 4:45 pm Wedn 11:0 am – 7:45 pm

American Pie Company

American Pie Company opened in 2015 and has since been a favorite for those looking for a slice of Americana in Copenhagen. Their delicious pies – both sweet and savoury – as well as bottles of Budweiser and diner-style coffee, are a serious treat. They’ve just opened a second shop, bringing even more pie to the city.

American Pie Company

Vesterbrogade 46 1620 København V

Opening Hours: Mon – Fri 10:00 am – 6:00 pm Sat 11:00 am – 6:00 pm Sun 11:00 am – 4:00 pm

Bars

Pompette

With a lovely, cosy space tucked away on Møllegade and a love of natural wines, Pompette has fast become a darling of the wine bar scene in Copenhagen. They have a range of glasses of wine available for only 50 DKK; the glasses aren’t huge, but they’re substantial for the price and the quality. Pompette also serves small plates of food – like a thick slice of sourdough bread and ball of burrata – if you’re feeling peckish.

Pompette

Møllegade 3 2200 København N

Opening Hours: Every day 2:00 pm – midnight

Vin Supernatural

This isn’t exactly a bar, but we needed to include the wonderful Vin Supernatural. The space once known as ODC Mad (which is still a food delivery service) has had a little facelift and is now the spot in Copenhagen for your deli, wine, and food gift needs. If there’s a gourmet item that you need to buy, especially natural wines, Vin Supernatural is the place to go.

Vin Supernatural

Gammel Kongevej 37 1610 København V

Opening Hours: Mon – Fri 9:00 am – 4:00 pm Sat & Sun Closed

My 15 Favorite Things to Do in Sydney

Updated: 10/28/2018 | October 28th, 2018

The first time I was in Sydney (all the way back in 2007), I spent most of my days sitting in the botanical gardens, reading a book and looking at the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. For so long I had heard about how wonderful and beautiful Sydney was, and there I was experiencing it!

Over the years, I’ve been to the city a handful of times, exploring it more and more and getting a local taste through all my wonderful friends there. I’ve been everywhere, I’ve done all the major attractions, the smaller attractions, and everything in between.

If you are wondering what the best things to see in Sydney are, wonder no more!

Today, I want to share my favorite things to do and see in this laid-back, warm, sunny, and gregarious city so you can better plan your trip and make the most out of your visit!

The Best Things to See in Sydney

1. Explore The Rocks The Rocks is the oldest part of Sydney. With its narrow lanes, fine colonial buildings, sandstone churches, and Australia’s oldest pubs, this neighborhood is where Sydney started when the British first landed. It was almost torn down in the 1970s for modern high rises, but, luckily, citizen action got it preserved instead. The Rocks’ weekend markets, art museums, street entertainment, delicious (and sometimes overpriced) restaurants, and beautiful views of the harbor, Opera House, and bridge make this is one of the coolest areas of the city. I love heading up to the Sydney Observatory Hill Park for a good view of the city, wandering the harbor promenade, and hitting the bars at night.

2. Hang out at the beach Sydney is synonymous with its beaches, and the area is also especially famous for having world-class surfing. Since it’s warm and sunny most of the year, the city has a strong beach culture, and on the weekends (and many weekdays for that matter), locals flock to the seashore. From Palm Beach and Manly in the north to the famous Bondi and Coogee in the south, Sydney has a beach for everyone. All the beaches are easy to get to via public transportation or car and there are tons of restaurants and surf shops around, too! My favorite beaches are Manly (wide and beautiful) and Bronte (small and quiet)

3. Visit the Royal Botanic Gardens and Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair You’ll find Australia’s first vegetable garden and a treasure trove of trees, ferns, flowers, and gardens at the Royal Botanic Gardens. On a sunny day, you’ll find locals sprawled out all over the lawns soaking up the sun. You can also see Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair, a seat carved into a stone cliff, where you can sit and gaze out at the harbor. There are also free one-hour volunteer-guided tours of the garden, too!

4. Take the ferry to Manly Beach The ferry ride to Manly ($12.40 AUD round-trip, $2.50 AUD on Sundays) offers sweeping views of the harbor, Sydney Harbour Bridge, and the world-famous Opera House. It’s a picturesque 30-minute ride each way that puts you in one of the coolest parts of the north end of the city. Manly is famous for its wide beach, giant waves, surfing, and kick-ass nightlife.

5. Walk the Sydney Harbour Bridge The bridge was built in 1932 as a government employment project during the Great Depression. Its steel frame has become an iconic symbol of the city. While tours that climb the bridge are expensive ($158 AUD), it is free to walk or bike across it for panoramic views of the harbor and Opera House.

6. Marvel at the Sydney Opera House Just as iconic as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Opera House is famous for its white-shelled roof. As an architectural delight and feat of engineering (getting the roof to stay up took the creation of a complex support system), guided tours ($37 AUD) give you a whole new appreciation for just how challenging the building was to design and erect. Tickets for a show in the Opera House are surprisingly affordable ($43 AUD), so try to take one in if you can.

7. Visit the Blue Mountains Over the millennia, the ancient sandstone of this national park has been weathered into gorges lined by steep cliffs and separated by narrow ridges. Some activities in Blue Mountains National Park include seeing the magnificent rock formation of the Three Sisters (particularly stunning at sunset and under evening floodlights) or hiking along the paths that offer excellent views of the valley, sheer rock walls, tumbling waterfalls, and magnificent forests. The park is free to visit and you can get there by train from Sydney, which takes 90 minutes. If you want to hike further afield, it’s best to stay overnight!

8. See all the museums Like most cities, Sydney has a wide variety of museums. There’s free entry to the Art Gallery of New South Wales (modern art), the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia at The Rocks, the Nicholson Museum (antiquities), and the Australian National Maritime Museum at Darling Harbor. I also suggest visiting the White Rabbit Gallery (contemporary Chinese art; it also has a teahouse) and The Rocks Discovery Museum (local history); both are also free. However, my favorite museum of all is the Hyde Park Barracks. Set in the old convict barracks, it does an amazing and detailed job of chronicling colonial life in the city, with lots of stories of the early settlers, and it’s well worth the $10 AUD entrance fee. If you only pay for one museum, make it this one!

9. Learn to surf Sydney is often the place travelers bite the bullet and learn the art of Australia’s famous national pastime. There are many companies here that offer lessons. While Bondi is the most popular beach, Manly on the north shore of Sydney has better waves (though you can find good waves up and down the coast!).

10. Wine Tasting in the Hunter Valley North of town is one of Australia’s premier wine regions. The Hunter Valley is home to amazing wineries that produce luscious reds. While it’s not as easy on the budget, it is an excuse to get out of the city and see the countryside. Day tours are offered from Sydney, but they are expensive ($150-200 AUD) and you spend a lot of time in the bus. Want even more fun? Try a bike tour. Grapemobile and Hunter Valley Cycling offer one-day bicycle rentals starting at $35 AUD. It’s best to stay for at least a night to get the full experience.

11. Take the Sydney Tower Skywalk As tall as the Eiffel Tower and twice as high as the Harbour Bridge, the Sydney Tower offers amazing panoramic views of the city from its Skywalk at the top. At $50 AUD, it’s cheaper and easier than climbing the bridge itself, and the views are actually far better. Also included with your purchase of a Skywalk ticket is access to the “4-D” cinema experience, which includes in-theatre effects like wind and fire.

12. Walk one of the coastal walks There are a number of stunning coastal walks that allow you to take in the breathtaking natural beauty of Sydney Harbor. While tons of people follow the two-hour Coogee-to-Bondi walk (skip the weekends when it’s overly crowded), I found both the shorter walk in Watson’s Bay and the Split-to-Manly walk quieter and more breathtaking.

13. Explore the markets Sydney has many amazing markets to walk through. At Paddington Markets (Oxford Street; open Saturdays after 10am), the fish market (Bank Street and Pyrmont Bridge Road), Bondi Farmers Market (Campbell Parade on Bondi Beach), the flower market (Parramatta Road), and a whole lot more seasonal markets, it’s really easy to spend a lot of time wandering and shopping. I love Paddington Markets and the farmers market the best — they draw an eclectic crowd, and the farmers market makes me want to cook nonstop.

14. Attend a cultural event Since Sydney has a complex about Melbourne being called the culture capital of Australia, it tries to outdo its rival by hosting over 30 official festivals and events each year. It offers art gallery nights, concerts, festivals, and much more. Most of them are free and can be found on the Sydney tourism website.

15. Party in King’s Cross If you’re looking to go out and get wild on the cheap, then go to King’s Cross. This is where the beer is inexpensive and the backpackers (and locals) party late. The famous World Bar is where most of the action happens (cheap drinks and a large dance floor). For a less traveler-centric time, head to Manly, The Rocks, or the CBD (central business district) where there are more locals and less travelers (but more expensive cocktails and beers).

****

Sydney is a remarkable city. While some cities scream “run around and see stuff” (cough, NYC, cough), Sydney’s message to visitors is always “relax, go outside, and enjoy the beautiful weather.” Sure, there’s plenty to do, but I find the best way to enjoy the city is to take it slow, see a few attractions, and mostly lay outside on the beach or in a park… or relax at a nice happy hour at a bar overlooking the harbor! Sydney has it all!

Book Your Trip to Australia: Logistical Tips and Tricks

Book Your Flight Find a cheap flight by using Skyscanner or Momondo. They are my two favorite search engines because they search websites and airlines around the globe so you always know no stone is left unturned.

Book Your Accommodation You can book your hostel with Hostelworld. If you want to stay elsewhere, use Booking.com as they consistently return the cheapest rates for guesthouses and cheap hotels. I use them all the time.

Don’t Forget Travel Insurance Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past. I’ve been using World Nomads for ten years. My favorite companies that offer the best service and value are:
