Totally worthy a visit for early breakfast, but The Grounds is way too popular and it might be too busy on weekends. I recommend taking a walk through Sydney Park ending with a nice coffee!

Although I've been vegetarian my entire life I haven't ever been there, but people usually ask me about this place. All staff is volunteer and after eating all they ask is for everyone to contribute however they can, no prices are established for their meals. It is usually very busy and they only serve vegetarian dishes.

The Cotton Thief is the only place I've been in Sydney that claims to be a convict bar. Worthy visiting if you pay a visit to Hayden Cremorne and just for the curiosity of seeing it, but stick to bottled/ canned drinks.

Arts & Culture

It doesn't matter if you are just walking around to see the most beautiful building in the world or if you go in for a concert, this is a must-do in Sydney. I recommend booking a ticket to see the in-house orchestra, which shouldn't be that expensive and it's absolutely worth it.

I love Manly, and part of the fun is to hop in the ferry and ride all the way there. It's just 20 min to get to Circular Quay from home with the train and you will be already having fun.
