On your doorstep

What you’re living next to if you stay here.

• 9.Darling Harbour — The buzzy western waterfront, made for a family day — the excellent SEA LIFE aquarium and Wild Life zoo, the maritime museum, restaurants around the water, and the sleek Barangaroo bars and park next door. Lively and central; come for the attractions, the harbourside dining and the evening lights.
• 15.Sydney Tower Eye — The golden-topped tower spiking the CBD skyline has the highest observation deck in the city — a 360° view over the harbour, the beaches and out to the Blue Mountains, with a glass-floored SkyWalk for the brave. The best way to grasp the geography of the harbour city; go on a clear day.
• 18.Sydney Fish Market — The southern hemisphere's biggest fish market — grab a tray of oysters, prawns and sashimi and eat it on the wharf with the pelicans eyeing you. Go hungry, early.
