Hello fellow traveler! Thank you for choosing my shop to help you have an amazing trip to Sydney. I had the pleasure of living only 2.5 hours away from Sydney when I lived in Australia. It was my first trip when I moved out there and I continued to take weekend trips here constantly. It is one of my favorite cities and it holds a special place in my heart. 

This board is a list of all my recommendations for your trip to this stunning city! It includes tips on transportation, 4 spots to sleep, 13 things to do, 10 spots to eat, and 12 options to drink and party. If you would like even more details about Australia, I recommend listening to episode 1 of Ma I’m Fine.

I plan on traveling back to Sydney at the beginning of 2024  so since you get this guide for life you will get access to all of my new updates!

You can email me any feedback regarding my itinerary or if you want to connect! Please be safe on your travels and tag Ma I'm Fine in all your adventures!

3 Amazing Days in Sydney

Sydney 2024  

Opera Bar

The sophistication and laid-back attitudes blend at Opera Bar to provide a unique experience. The location is lit in a warm, golden glow as the sun sets, providing breathtaking panoramic views of the bay. The vibrant atmosphere is further enhanced by live music, and the sleek, contemporary design melds perfectly with the famous Opera House backdrop. Savor delectable bites and skillfully mixed drinks while admiring the breathtaking vistas.

The quintessential Sydney sundowner spot, right under the Opera House sails. Live music most afternoons. As popular with locals as it is with visitors.

Quick Tips:

Arrive 4pm for sunset seats
Lower western corner usually quieter
Order food from Raw Bar (fresh oysters)
Best city views from back tables
Getting there: Eastern side of Opera House, follow the harbour promenade. Or exit at lower concourse level from Circular Quay.

Classy, elegant and with a stunning view of the harbour. There is no better combination. Put your best outfit on and take it all in because you’re in Sydney!

Must go: For the view and vibes of the Opera House and harbour bridge
