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!

Sydney is a safe place although there may be a bit of loud people here and there, I consider it safe. If you’re able to communicate confidently with people you’ll be able to get to where you need to go!

I have been out at all times of night walking home on my own and nothing has happened however due to the big drinking culture I will say that I’ve definitely been assaulted in clubs and bars multiple times, particularly when I was younger. I would say 25+ women are safer than young women.
Posted: October 23, 2025I’ve travelled around the world and Sydney’s one of the safest places for women. Locals are generally friendly and always willing to help. Still be vigilant but for the most part, it’s comfortable taking public transport late and walking in the dark.
