Top 3 free things to do in Sydney

As the old saying goes, "the best things in life are free". When exploring Sydney City this is certainly is very true. Sure, you can go to the fanciest restaurants, pay to watch a movie on an over sized screen and go to the flashiest bars but in the end Sydney really has some cool free activities to enjoy.

Number 1 - Walking around the Sydney Botanic Gardens

Watch out for those pesky Iris birds though!

Be it when the sub rises or when in dips below the hills, the Gardens are beautiful any time of the day or year. Lush green grass and old tress are planted all around the park leaving areas nice and open for picnics and the like. The best thing about the Gardens? THE VIEW!! Not only do you get the sun shiny of Sydney Harbor but you also get a view of the iconic Sydney Opera House and the Coat Hanger, the Sydney Harbor Bridge! Beautiful!

Number 2 - The Rocks

Majestic...

Just walking around the old, sandstone obsessed Rocks brings you back to a simpler time. The Rocks, located opposite the Sydney Opera House and a short three minutes walk from Circular Quay is one of the must see, must do experiences of Sydney. Aside from the Rock's restaurants, clothing shops, cafes and museum, it's old buildings, narrow lanes and sheer quaintness really makes it standout among the tall Sydney skyscrapers.

Number 3 - Walk across the Sydney Harbor bridge

Simply Iconic 

What better way to get a big picture view of the city but also take in some sun? Walking across the famous Bridge of course! The walk across the bridge is 100% free and is a great way to relax after lunch or a day out on the town. In one of the Pylons there is even a chance to go up to an observational desk and learn about the incredible history behind the Bridge.

What is Urban Life in Sydney? Simply, it is without fuss. Sydney is varied and beautiful, and despite the tall glass towers there is still much natural beauty and old-fashioned architecture to marvel at.
