6 Ways To Discover Sydney

Sydneysiders new and old, how much do you really know about your city? From interesting facts, to the best pizza and bars (my preference only), to the must-attend beaches.  Here are some of my favourite Sydney facts to make you feel shiny and new to your home-city.

1. It's Pretty Big

Sydney is the countries largest city, housing over 4.6 million people, it's also one of the most multi-cultural cities in the world, with up to 31.7% of the city population born overseas.  Now that's pretty multicultural!

2. Pizza Lovers Will Love Sydney

Get me to Happy as Larry Food Truck.  You'll certainly hear it before you see it and some may be put off by the makeshift seating from old crates.  I'm not saying it's the BEST pizza in Sydney as I'm sure many would argue their own favourites, but nothing makes me happier than a pepperoni pizza from Happy as Larry.

3. Bondi to Coogee coastal walk

5. Your One Stop Shop For The Best Burgers And Beers

  I'm talking about Mary's of course. Probably more famous for it's mouth-watering burgers than it's dark and dingy bar.  But hey, the bar is pretty rocking too with different cocktails, multiple wines by the glass, a selection of craft beers and Slayer Juice on tap! If you're in the mood for a beer and a burger I definitely recommend the hour-long wait, that's right I said an hour.

6. Dance Floor Classics

Hosting some pretty big international artists over the years and with 3 dance floors, plus an incredible courtyard, you'll definitely shed a tear when the lights come up at 5am.
