Sydney is a super great and beautiful city. It's very easy to travel around on your own. There is great public transport in the cities and you meet new people everywhere. All in all, I can recommend Sydney in Australia to anyone. There is something for everyone.

I stayed in Sydney for about a month and I would say expect to spend around $60-70 per day, I’d recommend getting groceries rather than eating out because restaurants are very expensive here. I loved visiting the beaches everyday and sitting out in the sun I would recommend renting a car if you’re the type of person to do a lot of hikes or wanting to visit the blue mountains although you can get public transportation pretty much anywhere you want and it’s cheaper then renting or taking an Uber.
Posted: March 21, 2025I felt very safe in Sydney. You can get anywhere pretty fast, the busses are good. With the bike as well, but the city is definitely not build for bikes, there are a lot of red lights and surprisingly many hills. The museums are fucking awesome. Many of them for free. Check out the wednesday Museum night Events!

They had lots to do there and they had many food cuisine’s from around the world to eat !! I felt pretty safe and their was many chill activities to do. The beaches and weather were great 🤍

If you are in Sydney in October you need to go see the whales, it is such an amazing experience! You can go to the Harbour and buy a ticket and go alone without any problem. Also don’t miss out on all the beaches Sydney has to offer (Bondi, Bronte, Coogee, Tamarama, Manly, etc). The beaches are also very safe but swim between the flags!!

Very safe - never had to worry unless it’s early morning hours (maybe some weird characters out then). Crime is low, never worried about people stealing my stuff (but don’t just leave your stuff unattended).

Solo backpacking around Polynesian at the moment (New Zealand, Samoa, Fiji and Tonga). Just spend 2 months in New Zealand’s South Island, tramping and being out in nature. Open to meeting people, learning about different cultures and swapping travel stories! I grew up in Sydney, Australia.
