How To Spend A Lazy Day in Sydney

You make every effort to have the ideal vacation planned…including carefully choosing your travel companions, packing months in advance, and securing the most affordable travel and lodging options. But what about making plans for a weekend to unwind from the week's stress? More than a night of partying, you need some good food, some happy time, and some fresh air to help you forget your worries.

Sydney is a sunny haven for those who are looking to practise their surfing, go hiking, relax outdoors with a beachside barbecue, or go for a stroll through the parks.

There are certainly many interesting things to do here and museums that can keep you occupied, but the best way to spend your time in Sydney is to take it slow and relaxed, see a few sights, and, mostly, just lay outside on the beach, sit in a park, or sip wine!

Cruise your time away

So what better way to spend a laid-back weekend in Sydney's sunny weather than by boarding a cruise on a beautiful afternoon and indulging in a delectable lunch while sipping your favourite beverage? A harbour cruise with lunch is your best bet if you’re looking for a restful day without worrying about taking care of things back home. If you prefer the evening, take one of the Sydney dinner cruises and enjoy a sumptuous meal with the illuminated harbour in the background.

Beach, please!

A Sydneysider's life would be incomplete without a trip to the beach. Have you had a dull week? Spend a day at the beach with your friends to add some excitement to the situation. Lie on these sandy paradises and enjoy the sunny weather or surf the waves or simply take in the seascape. Looking for some fun family time? Make it a day for some beachside barbecues! So if you want to relax on a weekend you can’t go wrong with beaches. You’ll never be out of options for a beach side activity when you’re in Sydney – be it a date or some alone time.

Go back to nature at Wendy’s Secret Garden

Nothing can restore the soul more than nature. Wendy's Secret Garden, a tranquil green haven that was created over the course of 20 years, is the ideal haven away from the noise of the city. Take a stroll through this verdant setting, breathe in some of the fresh air, pack a picnic, and enjoy it in the shade of the enormous fig tree with a view of the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, two of Sydney's most recognisable landmarks.

Take in the best views from Blues point

Want to watch the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge without travelling to the city? Blues Point is the ideal location for you. The Blues Point is a small but well-kept green reserve where you can stop by for a break and enjoy the beautiful Sydney Harbour. It is named after Billy Blue, Australia's first ferry operator. This is also one of the widely sought after spots to watch the New Year’s fireworks display. If you’re going for it, make sure you set out early in the morning to catch a spot because it is quite difficult to get one.

While some cities scream "run around and see stuff", Sydney’s message to its visitors is always "relax, go outside, and enjoy the beautiful weather". It is a place that invites you to take a stroll, relax by the beach, have a picnic in the park, and sip wine by the bridge. Perhaps this is what makes it more remarkable than other places!
