"With its tree-fringed Victorian terrace houses, sociable bars and cafés, and stylish independent stores, Surry Hills is a magnet for creative types and one of the inner city’s most charming neighborhoods. Visitors will get a sense of how Sydneysiders live here, whether that’s sipping matcha lattes at cafés such as the iconic Bills, sinking a craft beer at a pub, or just walking the dog. For a culture fix, head to the Brett Whiteley Studio, once home to the rebellious late Australian artist. It’s easy to stroll around Surry Hills, which is part of its appeal." - Sophie Davies
