Thank you for your great video and for your great honesty .you are speaking the way that I really like it because of this, I am planning on coming to Sydney and to enjoy some of the nice beautiful scenery during my three weeks vacation . I actually live in Montreal Canada 🇨🇦 so I will make a big huge trip across the globe around September. Thank you very much.
I’ve lived in Sydney for more than 40 years. Never heard of anything called the “Bay Bridge” I think you mean the Harbour Bridge, sometimes called “the Coathanger” You also didn’t mention that tipping is not required because business owners pay their staff and dont force employees to extract more money from customers. For that reason Australian restaurant meals are not as expensive as you might think. You can still tip if you want to but it’s not required as it is in the USA the price on the menu is, like all retail prices in Australia, inclusive of any taxes. It is illegal to quote a price then add tax.
Chris, you're my favorite travel guide youtuber. There's no BS with u, straight to the point, clear, concise. You've helped me tremendously with your japan guide, and now you've helped me again with Sydney. Keep up the good work champ
As a Malaysian who will be travelling to Sydney early next year, I gotta say I got a little too excited with the Malaysian spot recommendations. Definitely gonna give them a try!
This is an excellent video on Sydney. I now live in San Francisco but as an ex Manly Beach resident I strongly urge visitors to catch the ferry out to Manly, grab some fish and chips and just sit on the beach. Vastly superior experience to Bondi Beach.
If anyone wants to see just how jam-packed and insane Bondi is in the summer, watch some episodes of Bondi Rescue on UA-cam. It's like the Freemont Experience, but on a beach. My favourite thing in Manley was hiking the paths between Manley and Shelly Beach. Used to be excellent nightlife there as well, but I wouldn't know now as that was 10 years ago for me.
The opal card used for all public transport around Sydney has a daily cap of 16.8 AUD and weekly cap of 50 AUD, so just used them and do not worry about the high price single trips.
Really good review to this wonderful city that I know well. The Opal Card also works on the train out to Katoomba for the Blue Mountains. One criticism, nobody calls it the Bay Bridge - it’s the Harbour Bridge.
Or just "the bridge" (as opposed to taking the tunnel). Opal card also works for all the public buses in the blue mountains I've encountered and many on the central coast. Sydney is mostly cashless but get out into more rural areas you MUST have cash, including coins
The Opera Bar has one of the best views of Sydney Harbour. It didn't seem that packed in the video, probably cause it's winter. Having actually worked there myself back in January/February/Mach in 2013, I will say something to keep in mind during the summer months, or if there's a major performance going on, is that it's packed elbow to elbow and good luck finding a place to sit.
As a home-grown Aussie, your tips about discovering Sydney is the best and most accurate video I have seen. There were some minor pronunciation glitches, but so minor not worth a mention. Well done Chris.
I like this video . I was a Sydneysider for most of my life and you really get the vibe of the place . It’s a vibrant city. Stunningly beautiful , alive even grimy at times . I love Sydney ❤
Lovely video. Sydney is the best city in Australia. Amazing coastal scenery, beautiful birds and scenic walks besides the ocean, with great sightseeing. A total package for tourists.
@melianna999 Melbournians are obsessed with comparing themselves with Sydney. Sydney people rarely give Melbourne a second thought. Melbourne cannot compete with the beauty of Sydney at all. It is like comparing Rio de Janeiro with Sao Paolo.
Speaking as a longtime Sydney resident, this isn't bad. We do tend to avoid Bondi tho - too touristy these days (but quicker to catch train from Central or Town Hall to Bondi junction then bus from there, than catching the bus from Central and probably uber re traffic). But glad you mentioned the coastal walks and the ferries. Liked that you highlighted our zoo - it truly is fantastic. But I'd suggest a full day there and start NOT with the cable car but catching the bus up to the entrance, walk all the way down 1 side of the zoo then catch the cable car back up and walk down a different way (it's hilly). Top tip: don't miss the Bird Show; and if you want to see the Aussie animals actually doing anything it's best to start there as soon as gates open in my experience (and hope you don't encounter any noisy ppl in these enclosures) And obviously the whole experience is better if you get a fine day (if it's raining I'd do a museum instead - The Australian Museum is my pick, so much more there than you mentioned and they really go all out to make it relevant for kids too - but if you get bored the art gallery is only about 5 mins walk across the Domain)
Thank you for starting with more important basics such as where the airport is and pointing out neighborhoods. You're awesome and presented wonderfully and thoroughly!
I am amazed at how comprehensive your vlog is about Sydney. Thank you. It will surely bring more tourists . Sydney is my home for over 40 years, originally from the Philippines.
Great work, Chris! As someone who lives in Sydney I can confirm you did a great job of summarising everything. Note: Sydney's shops and attractions used to be open much later before the Covid lockdowns. As things steadily go back to normal and tourism returns everything will go back to opening late. Be sure to come back and visit again in the summertime!
Australian coffee is so good that only the tourists go to Starbucks. All the others closed as the coffee is poor compared to just about any other cafe.
Starbucks has suckered Americans into buying their grade B burnt coffee , but Australians know better. Been to Oz numerous time and only ever had one cup of coffee as bad as Starbucks.
I'm a journalist and film-maker with 36 years professional experience in the media, and I'm from Sydney. The (privately owned) train from the airport to the Sydney city-centre is very over-priced. So, try _Uber_ if you're sharing the ride, or maybe even if you're _not_ sharing. The airport is eight kilometres from the city-centre, not "ten kilometres" as stated in this video. Also note that Uber drivers tend to be _far more honest_ than drivers of metered-fare cabs in Sydney. Just a heads-up. That airport train is the only part of the Sydney rail system that is _privately_ owned. The rest of the train network is government-operated and very fairly priced. I hope this helps.
I noticed you know how to pronounce Melbourne. Well done. My wife and I appreciate your videos a lot. We use them to help us study up a place ahead of time. Your Hawaii videos and these that deal with Australia are all wonderful. Thanks.
For more Chinese/Viet food go to Cabramatta or Ashfield, FOr Indian go to Harris Park, For Cafes, Pastries go to Inner West (Haberfield, Petersham, Newtown, Marrickville) or Darlinghurst/Paddington, for shopping go to Chatswood, Bondi Westfield or CBD, For attaractions go CBD, Northshore (milsons point/kirribilli), Olympic park, Blue Mountains, Go to any pub for classic australian food, if you're more of an explore I'd definitely cathc a ferry to parra and explore along the river or go to national parks on the outskirts of Sydney (Wattamolla), Bars & Clubs, Newtown, Barangaroo, Kings Cross, CBD. Reeeeaaaaallly recommend checking out the trendy neighborhoods in the inner west! Beaches, Balmoral, Neilsen Park, Manly, Coogee, CLovelly (chekc out Bondi during off seasons), do the coastal walk from bondi to coogee. Restaurants to check out, definetly agree with Mamak and Ho Jiack, Tottis (Italian), Chefs Gallery (modern Chinese), verandah bar, kid kyoto, cool mac, grounds of alexandria, grumpy baker, gloriettas, mina's bakery, not just curries, drunk dumpling, happyfield, devon cafe, messina, mapo ice cream, bentley, rockpool, old mates place, fex & co, mumu, butter, tetsuyas, bread & circus, el loco, harajuku gyoza bar, ichi-ban boshi, XOPP, rag & famish, maybe sammy, and so much more (never been in a better foodie city than sydney)
I'm about to go to Sydney alone on October 19 to November 1 and I am super thankful you recently covered this city. Most of the popular videos are pre-covid.
Shopping between george and pitt st mall. Open all weekend. On pitt st mall check sydney tower at westfields for the revolving restaurant or observation deck.
If with kids choose powerhouse museum and bring a wet outfit for the water play area in Darling Harbour, best free outdoor entertainment for young ones in summer
Thank you for this very well-produced and excellent video. It is quite comprehensive and one of the best ones on Sydney travel tips! I will be checking out your other videos.
Although I'm an old Ozzy but a melburnian , I think you did a great job showing us around Sydney , I saw plenty I did not know about Sydney. Thank you .
These are very helpful information...very very well done mate..I'll be visiting sydney in late Octobe this year for 3 days and 2 nights....fast and furious visit and want to maximize my stay during those times.
Awesome vid! Only correction though is that as of 2020 majority of those lockout laws are thankfully gone! Also for night life defs head over to enmore and newtown! I also suggest for people visiting to head for the under ground bars in YCK precinct in the city centre. Each of the beaches also have their own nightlift culture
Thanks for the concise and informative overview of our city. The lockout laws destroyed night life but things are changing. For a more bohemian area with food and nightlife, check out Newtown and Enmore (side by side). Enmore theatre has shows too. King St Newtown is booming. If you want a good open air market with diverse food go to Chatswood on Thursday and Friday. 9am to 9pm.
For a non-local I have to say that his Mamak recommendation is spot on. But his pronunciations are off of course. Cendol/Chen-dol, Bondi/Bon-dai, Coogee/Koo-jee. Also good for a tourist shopper to know is that Town Hall Station, QVB, The Galleries, and Pitt St Mall are all connected via underground so you don’t even need to walk on the streets to get to all those places. Especially if it’s raining. 👍
What a fantastic travellers guide as to what to do while holidaying in Sydney. I've lived in the Western suburbs all my life, 63 years, and even I haven't been to many of the places mentioned. 😅
Great work Chris, you covered a lot of ground in a short time. There are also many national parks and more beaches within 40 minutes of the CBD. I hope you enjoyed your time with us!
Having just returned from there this week, one major thing has changed. Tipping is a thing now. It's not like they will hold it against you of you don't, but it is certainly accepted. Ten years ago they would chase you down the road to return it, but not any more. My pub crawl guide explained that "nowadays, they certainly won't refuse it." As someone who has lived and worked in Sydney before , i can say this is definitely a shift towards more American practices, and understably so.
You presented my city really well. I however, you missed out on Newtown. Amazing Turkish and Middle Eastern cuisine. I wish you all the success on your channel.
In city centre also keep eye out for Coles express and woolworths metro. They are retail food stores and very affordable for snacks and prepared meals and fruit etc.. often underground or hidden upstairs.
Just watched your video and I live in Sydney. Took your tip and had lunch at Spice Alley with my wife and granddaughter. It is a great eatery. Never heard of it before. Thanks for the tip
Great video, very compact and insightful. This brings back memories of my trip to Sydney a couple years back. I stayed around George St, great location and it has easy access to the free bus.
Excellent well thought-out video, I have lived in Sydney all my life, This video was great to remind me how good Sydney really is, I'm from the north shore of Sydney ( best side of Sydney to live :-) . sorry those south of the harbour ) it was great to hear you pronounce Bondi and Melbourne correctly, for those visiting Sydney, a great tour is via helicopter that leaves from Sydney Airport, takes you to the Harbour Bridge, over the Taronga Zoo, up to Manly and then down the coast to beaches south of Bondi and back to the airport, I recently took my wife on this chopper tour, it was a brilliant sunny day, of which we get a lot of during Summer, she loved every moment.. ( note to those fair skinned , use 50+ if your going to spend more than an hour in the sun in summer ), Bondi and Manly are both great beaches, but, you would hard pressed to find a bad beach in Sydney, on a good day its fantastic, clean water nice waves to surf, definitely go swimming, swim between the Flags, as an ex life saver, the water can look safe,, but rips and undercurrents can really surprise you (not in a good way) if your not a strong swimmer. Back in the day you could walk on rocks between the beaches and find so much Sealife and shellfish, now its really only visible at low tide, but,, the walk is nice, waves crashing on the rocks can be spectacular. As the producer mentioned, its hard to be anywhere in Sydney and not hear a myriad of accents from every corner of the world, its one of the great things about Sydney, most ppl are really friendly, after travelling the world, there are many really nice places,, Sydney is right up there with the best, dare I say it.. I wouldn't live anywhere else. For those who live in large cities and don't have lots of space, Hire a car and drive out of the city in any direction ( except east) and you will see the real Australia, rolling hills, wildlife, green pastures, Just think, that the nearest large City is around 9 hours drive from Sydney, Melbourne to the South, Brisbane to the North, Its a pretty big place .. for those about to visit, have a great time..
Very helpful !! Looking forward to turning 50 in Sydney and then flying home to the US west coast that day to stretch the special day out as long as possible !! 😁
as a local, i recommend going to the emperor puffs stall at china town, they sell these custard filled pancake balls for cheap. Also, heck out the Glebe vintage clothes markets every saturday near Broadway shopping centre in the city. For a museum, I would go to Chau Chuk Wing in the city at the university of Sydney, its free and has exhibits with artefacts from Ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and from the indigenous peoples of Australia.
Outstanding Video! Thank you for all the great information. I've been to London several times, and I'm glad I saw your videos. I even found the "secret swing" at Elysian Park in LA. Unfortunately, some dummy cut it down.
Great review 😊 FYI - The lockout laws for pubs & clubs are completely gone now. So you can bar hop as long as a place is open & as much as you like 😊 Oh it's the Harbour Bridge not the Bay Bridge. Yes there is a difference! 😉
Watched this before we went to Sydney, it was very helpful. The Aussie coffee is my new favorite better than SB. Seafood Fish Market was the best for yummy seafood! Can't wait to go back. 😊
Hey mate, local here, great info in this video - going to subscribe - but we call it The Harbour Bridge not The Bay Bridge haha. If anyone's interested, Sydney CBD is a veeeeery small part of Sydney, unfortunately, tourists never get to see the real Sydney out West - that's where the best food is and accommodation is much, much cheaper than The City.
Agreed mate. A quick trip out to Parramatta and it's like you're in a whole new Sydney. I hate Sydney, after 30 years of living there, and moved out bush, but it has so much more to offer outside of the CBD, for visitors, much of which is a an easy train trip away. I'd also suggest Cabramatta for visitors, and locals, for a unique experience, and awesome food. Cabramatta is not as bad as it was 25 or 30 years ago, when I lived close to the area in Livo.
Great video of my home!wish I knew you were coming here,we could have met you somewhere in Sydney!you have done a spot on job and covered everything really well
Wow this is a fantastic video! Well presented with good tips and suggestions. It has definitely helped my wife and I as we begin our trip planning to Australia next year. Thanks!

Thank you for the tipping info!
From a Sydney-sider who was born here and lived here longer than I care to admit, this is a great description of Sydney and things to do and see.
Thanks so much!
After coming back from America, things feel different it's not as strict
People of Australia are very nice with visitors helpful and gentle in behavior
How would they know
Been to Australia twice and lived in Brisbane for a year. Love it in Sydney and also Brisbane. Awesome places
Neat Wutaii!

Do you have any advice on places to get Fish and Chips.
@@HenriHattarHe was comparing Bondi beach to Manly . He never said anything against San Francisco.
The opal card used for all public transport around Sydney has a daily cap of 16.8 AUD and weekly cap of 50 AUD, so just used them and do not worry about the high price single trips.
Thanks for sharing that perspective Jiasun
Really good review to this wonderful city that I know well. The Opal Card also works on the train out to Katoomba for the Blue Mountains.
One criticism, nobody calls it the Bay Bridge - it’s the Harbour Bridge.
Or just "the bridge" (as opposed to taking the tunnel).
Opal card also works for all the public buses in the blue mountains I've encountered and many on the central coast.
Sydney is mostly cashless but get out into more rural areas you MUST have cash, including coins
i lived in sydney for 21 years and you hit it out of the ballpark.
Thanks Rita!
The Opera Bar has one of the best views of Sydney Harbour. It didn't seem that packed in the video, probably cause it's winter. Having actually worked there myself back in January/February/Mach in 2013, I will say something to keep in mind during the summer months, or if there's a major performance going on, is that it's packed elbow to elbow and good luck finding a place to sit.
Thanks for the tip Michael!

@@adrianross8383 I am not Melbournian
but the fact is Melbourne 7 times
won title The best city in the world.

@@melianna999 there you go again.
@melianna999 keep trying😂 Sydney will always remain #1 city in Australia and most visited by tourists.
As an Australia, my favourite place to go in the city has GOT to be Circular Quay.

That’s right
Also because Australians didnt like the corporate identity of Starbucks and the commercialisation associated with its brand.
@@rajagupta6772and they don't even have proper espresso machines....
Starbucks is too sweet and has too much extra stuff. I don’t understand why Americans can’t just have a normal coffee.

Great work Chris, you covered a lot of ground in a short time. There are also many national parks and more beaches within 40 minutes of the CBD. I hope you enjoyed your time with us!
Having just returned from there this week, one major thing has changed. Tipping is a thing now. It's not like they will hold it against you of you don't, but it is certainly accepted. Ten years ago they would chase you down the road to return it, but not any more. My pub crawl guide explained that "nowadays, they certainly won't refuse it." As someone who has lived and worked in Sydney before , i can say this is definitely a shift towards more American practices, and understably so.
Thanks for sharing the tipping update Michael!
Sydney is very beautiful 😊 Nice environment ☺ thanks for sharing this beautiful vedio 😍
You presented my city really well. I however, you missed out on Newtown. Amazing Turkish and Middle Eastern cuisine. I
wish you all the success on your channel.
Thanks Alek!
In city centre also keep eye out for Coles express and woolworths metro. They are retail food stores and very affordable for snacks and prepared meals and fruit etc.. often underground or hidden upstairs.
The Rydges in The Rocks is my favourite accommodation in Sydney. Well priced and in a great part of the city.
Thanks for the tip!
Sir Stamford on macquarie street is also central near the quay
Thank you for the tips! I’m in Sydney now and this is really helpful for today’s sightseeing ❤
The pool at the beach was cool.
This type of travel video is a godsend! Really informational & super useful to plan my trips!! Thanks so much for this!!
Glad it was helpful sakudevi! Thanks!
Very informative thank you so much 😊
Just watched your video and I live in Sydney. Took your tip and had lunch at Spice Alley with my wife and granddaughter. It is a great eatery. Never heard of it before. Thanks for the tip
Awesome Shaboh!
Great video, very compact and insightful. This brings back memories of my trip to Sydney a couple years back. I stayed around George St, great location and it has easy access to the free bus.
Thanks Sheriza!
Excellent well thought-out video, I have lived in Sydney all my life, This video was great to remind me how good Sydney really is, I'm from the north shore of Sydney ( best side of Sydney to live :-) . sorry those south of the harbour ) it was great to hear you pronounce Bondi and Melbourne correctly, for those visiting Sydney, a great tour is via helicopter that leaves from Sydney Airport, takes you to the Harbour Bridge, over the Taronga Zoo, up to Manly and then down the coast to beaches south of Bondi and back to the airport, I recently took my wife on this chopper tour, it was a brilliant sunny day, of which we get a lot of during Summer, she loved every moment.. ( note to those fair skinned , use 50+ if your going to spend more than an hour in the sun in summer ), Bondi and Manly are both great beaches, but, you would hard pressed to find a bad beach in Sydney, on a good day its fantastic, clean water nice waves to surf, definitely go swimming, swim between the Flags, as an ex life saver, the water can look safe,, but rips and undercurrents can really surprise you (not in a good way) if your not a strong swimmer. Back in the day you could walk on rocks between the beaches and find so much Sealife and shellfish, now its really only visible at low tide, but,, the walk is nice, waves crashing on the rocks can be spectacular. As the producer mentioned, its hard to be anywhere in Sydney and not hear a myriad of accents from every corner of the world, its one of the great things about Sydney, most ppl are really friendly, after travelling the world, there are many really nice places,, Sydney is right up there with the best, dare I say it.. I wouldn't live anywhere else. For those who live in large cities and don't have lots of space, Hire a car and drive out of the city in any direction ( except east) and you will see the real Australia, rolling hills, wildlife, green pastures, Just think, that the nearest large City is around 9 hours drive from Sydney, Melbourne to the South, Brisbane to the North, Its a pretty big place .. for those about to visit, have a great time..
Thanks for the awesome extra local tips! Agreed that Sydney is a great city
Very helpful !! Looking forward to turning 50 in Sydney and then flying home to the US west coast that day to stretch the special day out as long as possible !! 😁
Thanks Jason
Just love the Queen Victoria Arcade.
Excellent guide tour....thank you for sharing....God bless you....
as a local, i recommend going to the emperor puffs stall at china town, they sell these custard filled pancake balls for cheap. Also, heck out the Glebe vintage clothes markets every saturday near Broadway shopping centre in the city. For a museum, I would go to Chau Chuk Wing in the city at the university of Sydney, its free and has exhibits with artefacts from Ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and from the indigenous peoples of Australia.
Thanks for the tips!
andddd my trip is booked. thanks again chris!
Have fun!
Outstanding Video! Thank you for all the great information. I've been to London several times, and I'm glad I saw your videos. I even found the "secret swing" at Elysian Park in LA. Unfortunately, some dummy cut it down.
Thanks Victor. Bummer on the swing!
You’re absolutely incredible, what an impressive and smart journey that was . 😊 🇦🇺🙏
Great review 😊 FYI - The lockout laws for pubs & clubs are completely gone now. So you can bar hop as long as a place is open & as much as you like 😊 Oh it's the Harbour Bridge not the Bay Bridge. Yes there is a difference! 😉
Thanks Matthew for the clarifications!
this was awesome. thanks for the highly detailed video and the all of the great recommendations. super helpful to plan a trip to sydney
Watched this before we went to Sydney, it was very helpful. The Aussie coffee is my new favorite better than SB. Seafood Fish Market was the best for yummy seafood! Can't wait to go back. 😊
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the feedback!
Have watched a few of your videos now, great info in every one, Thank you. I've now subscribed. Cheers Don, Perth WA (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)
Cheers Don!
Hey mate, local here, great info in this video - going to subscribe - but we call it The Harbour Bridge not The Bay Bridge haha. If anyone's interested, Sydney CBD is a veeeeery small part of Sydney, unfortunately, tourists never get to see the real Sydney out West - that's where the best food is and accommodation is much, much cheaper than The City.
Thanks Hardcore hustle. Definitely a mental slip on the bridge name!
@@YellowProductions all is forgiven haha welcome to AUS!
Agreed mate. A quick trip out to Parramatta and it's like you're in a whole new Sydney. I hate Sydney, after 30 years of living there, and moved out bush, but it has so much more to offer outside of the CBD, for visitors, much of which is a an easy train trip away. I'd also suggest Cabramatta for visitors, and locals, for a unique experience, and awesome food. Cabramatta is not as bad as it was 25 or 30 years ago, when I lived close to the area in Livo.
Going unto my travel playlist for when u get the chance to go! Thanks yellow!
Sweet!
Great video of my home!wish I knew you were coming here,we could have met you somewhere in Sydney!you have done a spot on job and covered everything really well
Thanks Elizabeth! I didn't have much free time on my trip so I went stealthily 😉
