💡 Tips
- Walk across the Sydney Harbour Bridge from Milsons Point to the CBD for free, spectacular views of the Opera House.
- Street parking in North Sydney is extremely expensive and time-limited; rely on the train or ferry networks.
- While Luna Park is famous, the real local treasure is Wendy Whiteley's Secret Garden right next door.
- The business district cafes cater to office workers, so many close early on weekends-check hours in advance.
