Sydney

Sydney is really a string of small neighbourhoods stitched around a harbour - cross a bridge or walk a headland and the mood changes. Skip the postcard checklist and find the pocket that feels like yours: harbour swims, a coastal cliff walk before breakfast, a fish market by the water, and a food scene that's better than it gets credit for, where corner cafes sit next to three-hatted rooms.
