Got two days to spare in Sydney?
See it through the eyes of Axel Duffy, Australia’s very own Marty McFly!
Day 1
Morning:
Kick off your morning with a walk or a run around The Bay Run circuit on the Iron Cove shorefront. The track goes through five suburbs; when you get to Rozelle, take a little detour for an açai bowl at Fruitologist and, if it’s a Saturday, have a stroll through the Collectors Markets for antiques, vintage clothes and more to eat.

Afternoon
You can’t miss the Art Gallery of New South Wales! After enjoying their vast and stunning collection, have lunch at one of their many dining options, including MOD Dining for refined Asian cuisine, or the Kiosk for a menu full of native ingredients reflecting the Indigenous culture. Then, head to the Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park for your stay, and get ready for the evening with breathtaking views over Hyde Park.

Evening
For dinner, head to Braza Churrascaria in Darling Quarter for great authentic Brazilian barbecue before you go to the Sydney Lyric for BACK TO THE FUTURE: The Musical! After the show, enjoy the walk through Darling Harbour back to the hotel, or catch the bus or a taxi for a quicker journey.

Afternoon
Once you’ve shopped to your heart’s content, spend the afternoon meandering through the great precincts the city has to offer by bike, bus or skateboard! Look to the Entertainment Quarter for the best prawn and chorizo roll in the city at Mojo Picon, take a walk through Centennial Parklands, or explore the lively, vibrant Paddington precinct (including the beautiful Paddington Reservoir Gardens), before heading back to collect your things.
