Take a stroll along Manly Beach and the string of shops, markets, cafes and bars along the water’s edge. For those feeling extra-active, take the Manly to Spit Bridge Scenic Walkway for a mix of bushland and harbour views along the 10km. Give the legs a rest and hire a boat or kayak for a few peaceful hours spent on the glistening water. A short ferry ride away is the heart of Sydney for those looking to see as much as they can during their time away. Embark on a self-guided tour of the city, starting from Circular Quay to see the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. Stroll over to The Rocks to learn about the city’s history, where cobbled streets, Aussie pubs, and weekend markets present a cultural experience.
