Bondi is a whole lot more than just a world famous beach. Nestled in the eastern suburbs and just 30 minutes from the centre of the city, Bondi offers a slice of coastal Australian living whilst blending the cafe and restaurant of Sydney. As a tourist, a visit to Bondi is a must and we highly recommend going beyond the beautiful beach.
This part of Sydney is known for its incredible coastal walk, eclectic cafes and laid back, bohemian vibe. In this one-day itinerary, we’ll guide you through the sun-soaked streets, the vibrant local culture, and the breathtaking coastal views that make Bondi one of the most desirable places to live in Sydney.
