Forum users' pro tips for experiencing Sydney on a budget
To make the most of your budget trip to Sydney, consider staying in areas like Town Hall to Circular Quay, Haymarket, and Newtown, which offer affordable accommodations and easy access to public transportation. Visit during the Australian winter (June to August) for lower hotel rates and mild to cool weather. Take advantage of free activities such as visiting the Botanical Garden, Art Gallery of NSW, and MCA, or exploring scenic routes like the Blue Mountains and Harbour Bridge. For budget-friendly meals, check out the food courts at World Square and Sydney's Chinatown, as well as popular spots like Marrickville Pork Roll. Utilize Sydney's public transport with Opal cards or contactless payment to enjoy capped daily travel costs and economical ferry rides.
Where to Stay

"Accom locations: I'd say anywhere from Town Hall station up to Circular Quay & The Rocks. The light rail runs up the guts of George Street and is easily accessible if you're dealing with a stroller. George St is also a great road to walk up thanks to the wide footpaths."
Bokhara
"There’s a range of self-catering apartment accommodation options across the city at various price points. This kind of accommodation helps you economize further by self-catering and in-house laundry facilities."

"Sydney Harbour YHA would be a fantastic choice. Great location, excellent property & facilities, and unmatched Harbour & Opera House views from the rooftop terrace."
Things to Do
Bokhara
"Much of what makes Sydney the wonderful city it is, is free. The tap water is potable everywhere. The Art Gallery of NSW & MCA (Museum of Contemporary Art), State Library, Barrangaroo, all of the wonderful harbour walks and many more things - all free."
Sydneysunset
"On your planned Bondi walk day, visit Watsons Bay as well. It’s a nice walk from Watsons Bay ferry wharf to South Head."
Poida69
"For Greek cuisine, try Diethnes on Pitt St (between Liverpool and Bathurst St). Spanish - Encasa on Pitt St (between Goulburn and Campbell St). There are heaps of Asian cuisine options south of Town Hall station."
Eat & Drink

"When we were in Darwin last year, we caught a bus to the museum. I went to pay the fare. The driver looked at us and asked how old we were and said "you don't have to pay.""
Poida69
"Head to Marrickville Pork Roll for one of the best banh mi in the city, and enjoy local craft beer nearby."

"Ferry trips, especially to Manly or Watson’s Bay, are inexpensive and allow you to see a lot of the harbour."
Getting Around
sweetbiscuit21🏖🏕
"For public transport, you can buy Opal cards, but if you each have a Chip Credit/Debit Card, you can use these to swipe on/off the ferries, trains, bus/light rail. Public transport in Sydney is clean, frequent and convenient - take as many ferries as you can - great for the whole family, and PT has a daily/weekly per person cap as well."
Bokhara
"Public transport is excellent and cheap. If you buy an Opal Card each on arrival, there is a cap on public transport costs."
Pietr
"The cheapest transport from the Airport to the CBD is by bus and train. Take bus route 420 to Mascot Station, then the train to St James and exit to Elizabeth St. You will need to use a credit card on the card readers for both the bus and the train."

    The Blue Mountains are named for the delicate azure haze that lingers along the region, which is actually a fine cloud of oil emitted by eucalyptus trees. The mystical mountains are a labyrinth of plateaus, gorges and gum trees. Check out the Katoomba Scenic Railway (the steepest railway in the world), the Jenolan Caves and the Giant Staircase nature walk.
