🇦🇺 Sydney | 5-Day Itinerary Recommended
As an ex-international student in Australia, I had to share my ultimate Sydney guide! After graduation, I brought my family here twice—here are the must-visit spots that stole my heart 💙 ✈️ Itinerary 🌟 Day 1: Harbour Icons & Night Lights Stay near the Opera House for daily ocean views + convenience. 4-5PM: Grab an outdoor seat at a harbourside café for golden hour. Evening: Stroll through Chinatown, then head to Darling Harbour for Saturday fireworks 🎆. Dinner pick: Nick's Seafood Restaurant (fresh catches + harbour views!). 🌟 Day 2: Wildlife & Sunset Magic Ferry from Circular Quay to Taronga Zoo—see koalas 🐨 + kangaroos 🦘 with Opera House backdrops! (Most scenic zoo ever!) Sunset: Observatory Hill Park (straight out of The Notebook vibes!). 🌟 Day 3: Coastal Adventure Ferry hop: Rose Bay → Watsons Bay → Bondi (famous but crowded). Hidden gem: Diamond Bay (cliffside ocean views—empty & epic for photos!). 🌟 Day 4: Culture & Academia University of Sydney: The Harry Potter-style Quadrangle is a must (we took grad pics here!). Art Gallery of NSW: Spot Van Gogh & Monet originals! 🌟 Day 5: Shop ‘Til You Drop Queen Victoria Building (QVB): Historic mall with luxury brands (tax-free savings!). Sweet finale: Black Star Pastry’s watermelon cake 🍉—I buy it every visit! 🍽️ Food Recs (Tried & Loved!) Auvers: My go-to brunch spot (near Chinatown). Danjee Korean Restaurant: No-fail K-food—order anything! #SydneyLife #TravelAustralia #StudyAbroadMemories
