Welcome to Hertz Sydney Downtown, located in the heart of Australia’s busiest city - Sydney! Famed for its iconic landmarks, incredible beaches, and incredible lifestyle, Sydney is a city unlike any other. You’ll have a wonderful time exploring all that it has to offer as you take to the streets in your Hertz rental car. This globally renowned city will steal your heart, so get ready for a trip to remember!
Sydney - a Global City with a Beachside Culture
If there is one thing that this city is not lacking in, it’s the beaches. From Bondi to Manly, Coogee to Bronte, and Nielsen’s to Red Leaf, you won’t have to leave the city to get your taste of the beach lifestyle that Sydney is renowned for. However, with your Hertz rental car, you can see them all, including the ones harder to reach on public transport.
While many tourists and travellers alike stick to the beaches in the east of Sydney, there’s actually a plethora more that are loved by locals and visitors alike. In the north, you have beaches like Manly, Curl Curl, and even the beautiful Balmoral or Chinamans. These beaches are typically less frequented by the everyday tourist, so better for those who want to have every bit as much fun in the surf and sand, but have to step over fewer people to do it!
There are plenty of ways to enjoy the outside lifestyle of Sydney. Try out one of the many famous walks there are here, like Spit to Manly, Coogee to Bondi, or even Bondi to Manly if you’re brave enough. You could also swim in one of the many oceanside pools, like at Bronte, Coogee, and Bondi, for example.
Shopping, eating and experiencing Sydney’s finest
Of course, there’s more to Sydney than just incredible views, beaches, and the ocean! If the beach isn’t for you, let’s head to the inner west, where suburbs like Newtown have made a name for themselves for being incredibly fun and trendy. With plenty of art galleries, shops, restaurants and more, you’ll have a great time exploring these suburbs.
Obviously, no trip to Sydney would quite be the same without spending time in Circular Quay and the Rocks. With the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge taking centre stage, it’s a sight unlike any other. Have a bite to eat at the Opera Kitchen and then stroll through the Quay and along to the Botanics - it’s an easy way to spend an afternoon. Of course, there are tourist attractions here, too. If you are a thrill seeker looking for the best vantage point, the Harbour Bridge’s ‘BridgeClimb’ or Sydney Tower’s Skywalk will give you the panoramic views of the city you’re after.
The suburbs of Darlinghurst and Surry Hills boast plenty of fashionable shops, quaint pubs, intimate cocktail bars, and delicious restaurants, appeasing your desire for an evening out on the town. Bars such as Shady Pines, Oxford Art Factory, or This Must Be the Place won’t disappoint. This area is also known for its expressionism – it is full of live music, vintage stores, art galleries, and is the centre of the LGBTQI community.
You’ll Never Run Out of Activities in Australia’s largest city
There is a never-ending list of things to do and see in this harbour city. Even people who have lived here their entire lives haven’t quite ticked everything off their bucket list yet! Why not watch the sunset at Lady Macquaries point, which is one of the most magical spots in Sydney? Or, head to Watson’s Bay for a day by the beach, and then dinner overlooking the harbour?
Perhaps it might be time for you to leave the city and head out into the neighbouring surroundings. With destinations like Hunter Valley, Wollongong, the Blue Mountains, and the Royal National Park all an easy day trip from Sydney, you can plan a huge trip in a short space of time all while not leaving New South Wales.
Sydney is a special city with incredible views, activities, and people. Make sure to make the most of it from the moment you pick up your Hertz rental car.
