About This Activity

Sydney’s bohemian energy concentrates in two adjacent inner suburbs: Newtown and Surry Hills. King Street Newtown is lined with vintage clothing boutiques, independent bookshops, vegetarian restaurants, and live music venues. A short walk or bus ride to Surry Hills brings you to craft beer bars, specialty coffee roasters, and the weekend Surry Hills markets. Neither neighbourhood has a central attraction — the point is to walk slowly, eat well, and absorb the local scene. Entirely free to wander.

Seasonal note: Open year-round; markets on weekends
