Sydney is a fairly expensive city, with the Economist Intelligence Unit - or EIU - declaring it the 10th most expensive city on the planet. Food, accommodation, and everyday services are on the steeper side, so it's just as well you can get great deals on all of Sydney's best bits with Go City!

How many days do you need in Sydney?

We recommend you spend at least four days in the city to see and do everything we recommend down below. Some are evening experiences, others are during the day, so the more time you spend in Sydney, the better you can space them out! Outside of our recommendations, Sydney is a huge city full of things to do, so you'll want to make the most of your visit.
