Sydney has some amazing beaches, markets, and cultural hotspots. There is a good reason that this coastal city is a top travel destination for those travelling to Australia. Here are a few of our favourite spots in Sydney for those of you looking for student accommodation here.
The Beaches – Bondi Beach
Catch the bus 333 from the city centre and explore the famous Bondi Beach. This laid-back and friendly beach is covered in white sand and frequented by surfers. It can also be visited year-long, with a moderate climate. The beach is lined with cafes, casual pubs and shops. And for the more daring, take a swim in the Icebergs ocean pool, located at the southern end of the beach. This pool is open year-round as well.
The Markets – Glebe Markets
Glebe Markets is a cultural hub for fashion, food, and live music every Saturday. Located along Glebe Point Road, near the University of Sydney and many great student accommodations, the market is a staple for trendy Sydneysiders. You can always find a unique item to add to your collection and a delicious bite to eat. It runs from morning to evening time so you have plenty of time to browse.
The Culture – Chinese Garden of Friendship
The Chinese Garden of Friendship is a private garden modelled after the Ming Dynasty located in Sydney’s Chinatown. You can explore the hidden paths, waterfalls, lakes, exotic plants, and then stop for tea at the Chinese-style tea house which also serves dim sum. Added bonus: they offer student discounts!
