8 days in Sydney Itinerary

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Manly Scenic Walkway and Nan Tien Temple. Sydney Opera House and Cremorne Point to Mosman Bay Walk are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Explore Sydney's surroundings by going to Shelly Beach (in Manly), Palm Beach (Barrenjoey Lighthouse & Palm Beach) and Narrabeen Lagoon State Park (in Narrabeen). There's much more to do: see some colorful creatures with a scuba or snorkeling tour, explore the landscape on two wheels at Wollongong To Thirroul Bike Track, kick back and relax at Manly Beach, and trek along The Giant Stairway.
