Affectionately called the City of Villages, the Greater Sydney area consists of 658 suburbs, each with a different character. Sydney’s inner suburbs of Balmain, Leichhardt and Marrickville have distinctive vibes reflected by their respective communities and heritage architecture. Head to Balmain to see its historic waterfront, Leichhardt for an Italian feel and Marrickville for authentic Greek cuisine. The eastern suburbs embody Sydney’s hip beach ambience with Bondi, Coogee and Maroubra. Bondi is popular with the jet set, Coogee is laid-back and perfect for families and Maroubra attracts surfers to its top surfing beach. The northern suburbs of Newport and Manly are less crowded. There is a range of beaches for surfing and wading. Newport boasts a village atmosphere, while Manly is cosmopolitan with a large immigrant community.
