Urban walking is a popular past time and Sydney makes a great backdrop for it. More and more city dwellers are foregoing the long drive out to the countryside for some trekking and instead taking advantage of the local walks on their doorstep. So what are the best city walks in Sydney?
Spit Bridge to Manly Walk
This is a 10km walk starting from Spit Bridge in the Mosman/Seaforth area. You can hop on a bus out to Spit Bridge from the CBD and then catch the spectacular ferry ride from Manly back to Circular Quay.This walk will see you take in stunning harbour cliffs, breath taking views over the ocean and fascinating aboriginal rock decorations.
The track has been well developed with signposts so you can be sure you won’t get lost. This fun walk offers quite a few things to do along the way. You can catch a glimpse of some dolphins or even some whales in the May to November season as well as see some of the colonial history of Sydney.
Coogee to Bondi Walk
This is an easy going 6km walk stretching from Bondi in to the Eastern Suburb districts. If you can maintain an average pace it should last about 2 hours even allowing some time to take in the breath taking scenery. There are plenty of place to stop, dawdle and enjoy the view though. It’s also very tempting to sample some of Syndey’s famous coffee houses along the route or go for a dip in the sea.
