Sydney is home to some of the world’s most beloved attractions, such as Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House. Home to pristine coastlines, it also has a laidback beach scene. Bondi Beach and Coogee Beach are usually crowded, so you can head to Manly Beach if you wish to avoid large crowds. One of the most vibrant neighborhoods in the city is The Rocks, featuring many galleries, pubs, and restaurants. For a breath of fresh air, you can stroll around the stunning Royal Botanic Garden Sydney. If you want to explore the city without setting camp in the middle of its bustle, accommodation on a farm might be for you. Check out the best farm stays near Sydney, Australia, below.
