I live in the village and one down thing about it is the transportation. There is only one bus stop for 292, going to city and it comes every half an hour.

Favourite night spots have to be in the city, Three Wise Monkeys in George St and The Gaff in Oxford St are cool. Sydney is a backpacker hotspot, and most backpacker places can be found in Kings Cross. Best cafe has to be Campos in Newtown - best coffee ever! Gloria Jean's Coffees is good too. Classics like Mardi Gras or New Year's Eve are events not to be missed. Try to make it to the Open Air Cinema in January/February.

Favourite night spots were areas around the city, mostly Kings Cross and Oxford Street. Sydney is a backpackers hotspot so it is really easy to meet people from around the world. Best cafe has to be Campos in Newtown - best coffee ever! Gloria Jean's Coffees franchise is also good. Do not miss classics like Mardi Gras or New Year's Eve, and try to make it to the Open Air Cinema in January/February.
