The Most Stylish Neighborhoods in Sydney
Sydney is a city I feel a little confused about.
I thought Sydney would be absolutely fabulous and have the same amazing coffee and restaurant scene as Melbourne. Sadly, this was not the case which left me a little disappointed.
I searched high-and-low for a flat white that made me feel the same euphoria as Melbourne’s. Since Sydney is such a world-renowned city I believed it would have a great food scene. I was wrong.
Now, I typically only rave about the destinations I have traveled to because I absolutely love them. I love Sydney too, it’s a pretty city, but somehow it was lacking. Regardless, I enjoyed my time in the city and found some cool neighborhoods to explore. These neighborhoods in Sydney are where you can find a good selection of trendy restaurants and coffee shops.
My Favorite Neighborhoods in Sydney:
Surely Hills – for coffee culture. The only place in Sydney where we found a good selection of coffee shops. Walk up and down Crown street for a cool selection.
Newtown – great international restaurants and nightlife. This is close to the college and university in Sydney so it has a cool vibe on weekends. It also has plenty of good restaurants to choose from.
Glebe – for shopping. Glebe has lots of cute boutiques and other unique shopping experiences. It is far better than shopping at regular retailers in Sydney’s city center
Bondi – Outside of Sydney, but really worth going. Going here for the weekend was my favorite part of the trip. See my guide to Bondi Beach.
