About Inner Sydney
The inner Sydney suburbs that form a ring around the city centre are lively precincts, packed with attractions and plenty of things to see and do. To the east are Paddington, Surry Hills and Darlinghurst, each with its own unique style. Take your time exploring the fashionable boutiques, bookshops, cafes, bars and restaurants. At night, Oxford Street buzzes with nightclubs, pubs and late-night bars.
Glebe, Newtown, Balmain and Leichhardt make up Sydney's inner west. Second-hand shops, restaurants, bars, cafes, bookshops and design shops line the main streets of each neighbourhood- Glebe Point Road, King Street, Darling Street and Norton Street respectively. Weekend markets are popular offering everything from organic produce to vintage fashion and artworks. Getting around inner Sydney is easy with regular bus, train and light rail services.
Love Every Second of Sydney in Winter

Sydney comes alive day and night in winter with a packed line-up of exclusive, Sydney-only events, big-city shopping and some of Australia’s best dining experiences. The city is the beautiful backdrop to the much-loved winter festival of lights, music and ideas, Vivid Sydney. It’s also the perfect time of the year to enjoy seasonal dining, the latest foodie trends, shopping treats and family fun.
