Restaurant Hubert
15 Bligh StSpice Alley is a little piece of Singapore in Sydney, but the food isn’t limited to Singaporean – there’s tonnes to choose from. Tucked behind the Kensington Street laneway in Chippendale, the open-air courtyard serves up hawker style dishes from across Asia. Our picks of the serving windows are Alex Lee Kitchen for their authentic Singaporean dishes, Thai and Vietnamese street food from Bang Luck, Malaysian street food at Old Jim Kee, and Cantonese comfort food at Hong Kong Diner.

Sydney has a series of excellent outdoor pools, but the location of the Boy Charlton is pretty magical. Tucked down the side of the Royal Botanic Gardens (and scandalously ignored by most people ambling through them), front crawlers look out towards the lush, green bits of the North Shore. And, as a complete contrast to their side, there are the giant Navy warships moored at Garden Island.

The Rocks is the oldest part of Sydney. With it 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.

Parks & Nature
Thought to be one of the oldest public gardens in the Southern Hemisphere, Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens date back to 1810 and over the years the 30-hectare oasis has withstood fires, cattle grazing, invasions of flying foxes, a windmill, an aviary, and even a zoo. Today, save a few sulphur-crested cockies, it’s an oasis of calm in an urban jungle. If it’s not raining, take a picnic and find a shaded spot to while away an afternoon.
