Just a tip that you don’t need to use an Opal card if you have an Aussie debit/credit card. As all Opal conditions apply to them as well. Understand that international visitors will more likely want to use Opal to avoid currency conversion fees
if you are an Aussie senior card holder get an opal card as you get discounts on your travels. Easily done online just apply early before your trip to Sydney.
I came to study and live in sydney from 2019, just one year pre-covid and this video somehow made me very nostalgic about the very first time I've been to all the locations and doing these outings with my friends.
@@andersonlydia100 I’m back to Canada but I can’t wait to explore the beautiful city of Sydney one more time again very soon . It’s not a conviction but that’s to answer to those people out there who have been trying to make a quite and a city with a dirty river passing through in the middle of the city ( Melbourne) a boring city. To try making it to look as a world class city ( Sydney). Sydney is a world class city with the biggest suburbs metro network in Australia and the world. Sydney is the best and will remain at its position forever
@@zebrakacole5822I grew up in Sydney. It’s an amazingly beautiful place, not just the city, which is ok, but once you get out of that, there’s the many beaches, pubs, clubs, live bands etc, way out of the city. It also has national parks north and south and the beautiful Hawkesbury River to the North. Then there’s the mountains to the west, and beyond them is some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. I’ve travelled a lot, but the countryside out around Bathurst is some of the most beautiful country I’ve ever seen, rolling hills, blue haze from the eucalyptus oil in the air, incredible. Melbourne is a dump by comparison as you say.
Thank you for showing the ANZAC memorial in Hyde Park. It's probably one of our most moving war memorials and an Art Deco gem that few you tubers show when they post about Sydney.👍
Totally agree. I believe it is designed that at 11.00am on 11 November the sun lights up the central figure. Unfortunately this no longer works for 11.00am because of daylight saving, but if you go there at 12.000am on 11 November if it is sunny then the statue should be bathed in sunlight.
This was probably the best personal travel vlog I’ve ever seen! Very well done! We’re headed to Sydney from U S in October, learned a lot about Blue Mountains. (We may skip the railway, though.) Thanks!
I was referring to the near-death, soul-stealing World’s Steepest Railway attraction that was featured in the segment on the Blue Mountains - not on how to just get there.
@@paulbriere4872 That's nothing. They've H&Sed the life out of it. When I did it as a child it was a completely open cage and you hung on for grim life. Originally visitors did it sitting in the miner's coal trucks. You do want to take the train to the Blue Mountains, it's not just scenic it is faster, cheaper, extremely comfortable and not subject to hours long traffic jams.
You did miss a few must do's: Cow and Moon Gelato in Enmore, the Grounds of Alexandria, Leura next to Katoomba in Blue Mountains, all the other ferries, all the other harbours and bays, Wendy's Secret Garden, Balmain, Luna Park, Mosman and all the cultural attractions. But good job overall. Personally at the moment I think Melbourne generally wins on food and coffee. Sydney wins on sights and beaches.
Good to see someone going to Manly on the Manly Ferry. Most people seem to go to Bondi which is fine, but Manly is also great. And from Manly you can catch a bus to the Northern Beaches right up to Palm Beach and its Lighthouse. I spent my first twelve months living in Manly before my parent's first house was built in North Manly. Hope you enjoyed your time in Sydney. Mike in Oz
In 2015 and 2018 I went on a 45 days holiday with my mom to Sydney and stayed at my uncle's place.This video brings back a lot of good memories thank you so much 🔥🥲
I was born and raised in Sydney and I can say I’m still exploring. It constantly changes maybe more than any city in the world, and I’ve traveled a lot. Central Sydney is very much just the Central Business District and tourist area. It’s not very representative of the entire city. Firstly there’s cultural differences even between the Anglos (white peoples). In the south in the Shire, in the North is the Northern Beaches, both fanatically loyal to their clans. Beach pubs, clubs, live band venues etc. once you get out to the suburbs there’s places like Newton which is just all pubs, bars, restaurants and gays and lesbians. Leichardt is the Italian area. Every kind of Italian food you’d ever want. Many other suburbs have great restaurants, pubs and clubs. Food from anywhere you can think of, from Spain to Nepal, Bangladesh to the Czech Republic. You never know where these places will be. Once you get to Parramatta it’s full on multicultural. Think of any country and they’re there, with food and culture. Sydney is a vastly complex city, and there’s many hidden gems once you leave the inner city.

I went on it in the 1970s. I was quite frightened (and not pleasurably). I could feel myself slipping on the seat when coming back up. I swore I would never do it again. I may revisit that view as I think it is covered now, and I think it is a lot safer.
@@mandyg943 I may go on it again. Weird isn’t- I went on it on a school excursion ( or rather on a school trip to Sydney). I very much doubt any school these days would allow kids to go on the train as it used to be,
I’m planning on going to Sydney from 🇺🇸, can you please tell me hotel you stayed at? I’m bombarded w/too many accommodation choices. Thank you. Thanks for this video. I’m new subbie
@@Glenn-ei3xp Maybe. 😁 Whatever, each has different taste, bro. So, enjoy your boring Sydney life or if you're not there, I still wish you the same. Have a nice day. 😇😃
@@lol4lol993 yea I guess the beautiful beaches, stunning parklands, the cleanliness,amazing food,incredible scenery,and one of the highest quality of life in the world etc etc etc must be a bit overwhelming for some people that live in dumps
Very Helpful. We are planning to visit these attractions and more in July 2023. Will A$200 in Opal card enough for 6D including the ferry ride to Manly?🤔
Hi, I think it’s more than enough. The weekly cap for public transport in Sydney is A$50/pax. And I rmb it’s quite hard to refund the balance in your opal card. So I would suggest you to just reload a little and top up whenever necessary. Here’s the NSW Transport link: transportnsw.info/tickets-opal/opal/opal-benefits Hope that helps!
Ah really love your video!❤ When exactly is this? Bcs im going to have a road trip from brisbane- sydney- Melbourne- Adelaide end of december. Iam afraid if the weather will be super hot. What do you think based on your experience?
Enjoyed your video. Will be visiting Sydney in a few months. Should I apply for an Opal card from the States 🇺🇲 or get one when I arrived ? Do they offer discount to seniors from other countries? Thanks!
You can just tap your credit card instead of using an Opal card, it costs the same. Otherwise you can get one easily when you arrive. Sadly there are no discounted tickets for foreigners.
Im from a very small country and my dream its goint to live to Sydney, I see this video and I cant be more excited! Any recomendation aside the video? or any tip? Im scared for some of the rules and little things because english is not my first lenguage and its scared me not to understand the rules or be disrespectfull or something :(
That's great! The locals are really helpful out there so feel free to ask around if you get lost. Also, Google Maps is a great tool to navigate around.
I feel very proud that I'm living in Sydney.. it is so beautiful, city! I love it, and I wish I could be an important person and do something to Sydney and its society.
I love Sydney so much. Been on holidays for a month and I really miss it. That sparkling harbour! lalapeach Reply/ME/Aswell/CT/Cannot/Get/Enough/Of/The/PLACDE !!!!!
