Sydney City Council area is at the heart of this great city.

Here are 10 of my favourite places & things to do around Sydney City:

1. Best outdoor activity - Walking the harbour foreshore from the Royal Botanic Gardens all the way around to the Sydney Fish Markets

2. Best coffee - The original Bourke St Bakery on Bourke St, Surry Hills

3. Best café - Penny’s Cheese shop for the cheese sandwich (purely coincidental we have the same name!)

4. Best place to hang out when it’s raining - Carriageworks Farmer’s Market, Saturday morning and all undercover

5. Best view - Sydney Park hill looking back over the CBD skyline

6. Best little bar - Arcadia, Redfern. Any bar that serves jaffles is worthy

7. Best restaurant - The Butler, Potts Point

8. Best bookshop - Berkelouw Paddington

9. Best dog friendly activity - Sydney Park - the whole park is off lead including a small dog pond

10. Most touristy thing to do - Grab a drink at Opera Bar
