"Get a feel for subtropical Sydney wandering its oldest park, Hyde Park, a 40-acre oasis of landscaped lawns, lush plants, and tree-shaded pathways. It flanks the city’s Central Business District (CBD), offering respite for office workers, shoppers, and tourists alike. The park is split into two sections by Park Street, with St. James and Museum train stations providing access at the north and south ends, respectively. Every visitor to Sydney should pass through Hyde Park for an unforgettable flavor of this city’s natural charms. The park hosts seasonal events, from a pop-up hub for January’s Sydney Festival, to noodle markets and outdoor photography shows. It’s also great for relaxing after exploring nearby St. Mary’s Cathedral, the Australian Museum, Hyde Park Barracks Museum, or The Sydney Tower Eye." - Sophie Davies
