About Sydney north
Just across the harbour from the city lies a cluster of leafy northern suburbs known for their easy bushwalks, bustling markets and family entertainment. Some of the city's most stunning views of the Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House can be enjoyed from North Sydney's foreshore or from Kirribilli's cottage-lined streets.
Famous beaches - Manly and Palm Beach are at either ends of a beautiful stretch of coastline that has great surfing beaches, clifftop walks plus cafes and Sydney restaurants where you can dine outdoors. At Mosman, you.ll find Taronga Zoo in a dramatic harbourside location, perfect for a day out with the kids. Further north is the beautiful Hawkesbury River which you can explore by boat and even stay overnight in a cosy riverside boathouse.
