In the city

Vibe: Big city fun – heritage, galleries, fashion, food

What’s not to love

• A lunchtime jog, lazy picnic or flying fox-spotting in the Royal Botanic Gardens.
• Celebrity talks and a glass of wine at Art After Hours, Wednesdays at the Art Gallery of NSW.
• Trying to pick a favourite bar at the fabulously over-the-top Ivy, winner of Time Out’s 2008 Bar of the Year.
• Overcoming vertigo on the glass platform at Skywalk, Sydney Tower.
• A swim and survey of the talent at the Andrew Boy Charlton Pool by the harbour.
• The best of sky-high boots and thigh-high Aussie fashion at the Strand Arcade.

And in The Rocks

• The view from the summit of the Sydney Harbour Bridge with Bridgeclimb.
• Art to inspire, challenge and sometimes make you laugh aloud at the Museum of Contemporary Art.
• Celebrating Bavarian-style at the Lowenbrau-Keller or ales brewed on the premises at The Lord Nelson.
• Funky fashion from The Rocks Market and tiny shops in the cobblestoned laneways.
• Oysters and gliding up the catwalk entrance at Rockpool restaurant.
