Inner Sydney

Inner Sydney is the collective term referring to the ring of suburbs surrounding Sydney’s CBD. From the bars and nightclubs of Darlinghurst and Kings Cross to the restaurants and cafes of Surry Hills, there’s no shortage of entertainment. Some of Sydney’s best shopping is also to be found in this area, with chic boutiques and art galleries in Paddington and quirky and vintage spots throughout Newtown and Surry Hills. Meanwhile, coffee lovers will find no shortage of spots to refuel throughout these neighbourhoods.
