My Sydney 3 Days | Perfect mix of city & beach 🐨🌊

Day 1｜Sydney Opera House & Royal Botanic Garden I kicked off my trip at the Sydney Opera House — joined the guided tour, and wow… hearing the behind-the-scenes stories made me appreciate it so much more. Lunch was at Opera Bar, where you get the Opera House on one side, Harbour Bridge on the other… it felt unreal 💯. Afterwards, I wandered into the Royal Botanic Garden. Lying on the grass with the harbour sparkling in front of me? That was my “I could live here” moment. And yes… I went back at night for a show. Zero regrets! Day 2｜Taronga Zoo The ferry ride from Circular Quay to Taronga Zoo was already a highlight — the city skyline + the water = chef’s kiss 🚢. Inside the zoo, I finally met kangaroos, koalas, and even a wombat (cuter than I expected!). Had a lazy picnic lunch on the grass, just enjoying the sunshine. On the way back, I stopped at The Rocks — love those old cobblestone streets and harbour views. Day 3｜Bondi Beach & Coastal Walk I saved the beach day for last — started at Bondi Beach with a flat white in hand, watching surfers do their thing. Then I did the Bondi to Bronte Coastal Walk, and honestly… every few steps I had to stop for photos. The water was that blue. Spent the afternoon just floating around at Bronte Beach before wrapping up at Bondi Icebergs Club with a drink, watching the sunset sink into the ocean. Perfect ending. ⸻ 🏨 Where I Stayed • QT Bondi – Literally steps from the beach • Park Hyatt Sydney – Splurge-worthy with insane Opera House views • Coogee Bay Hotel – Chill and right by the water 🍴 What I Ate & Loved • Speedos Café (Bondi) – That smoothie bowl with ocean views… yes please • Opera Bar – Food is good, but the views steal the show • The Glenmore (The Rocks) – Rooftop drinks with a postcard backdrop • The Bucket List (Bondi) – Sand between your toes, casual bites, and cocktails 📌 Tips • Book Opera House tours and shows early — they sell out • Taronga Zoo mornings are best for seeing active animals • Sydney’s sun is no joke — sunscreen is a must even in winter • Take the ferry to the zoo — it’s half the fun
