The Monocle Travel Guide, Sydney

Monocle’s travel guide to Sydney bypasses the usual tourist haunts to unlock the Harbour City’s delights, from world-leading restaurants and top-notch independent hotels to keen retailers brimming with Aussie-made goods. While Bondi Beach naturally gets a mention, we also uncover secret swimming spots and a series of cheery neighbourhoods that are best enjoyed on foot. Sydney has long lured travellers to its shores and our guide contains plenty of reasons to unpack your bags, settle in and linger a while.
