Half an hour’s drive west of Sydney, Parramatta buzzes with a multicultural atmosphere. Filled with trendy bars and international eateries, Parramatta is a blend of established commercial areas and an emerging art scene. Located along the 24-kilometer (15-mile) long Parramatta River, this prominent suburb provides a picturesque setting. In the charming mix are many historic buildings, ones even designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites. Of course, outdoors is the place to be in Australia, and Parramatta Park is a great area to bask in Mother Nature’s beauty. If you’re a cycling enthusiast, Parramatta Park offers a 3.2-kilometer (1.98-mile) loop cycle lane that connects to bike paths along the Parramatta River and all the way to Sydney Olympic Park! Lake Parramatta Reserve is a premier spot for nature lovers, comprised of 75 hectares (185.3 acres) of bushland around a beautiful lake, and offering three marked bushwalking trails. If you’re ready to experience Parramatta, then read on to uncover the best Airbnb vacation rentals that’ll make your stay unforgettable.
