This place in Circular Quay is worth popping into. The two exhibitions I saw, by Edwin Wurm and Ron Mueck, were both been fun and thought provoking. You don't need to be a great art lover to like this place. The cafe attached has great food too

These two neighbourhoods in the inner city are trend central. Sydney's inner-city is always interesting, but Darlinghurst and Surry Hills are an easy walk from the city centre. I just love wondering round the back streets finding a mixture of cafes and art galleries and interesting shops. There is also something about the architecture. The old stone houses, and the new apartment blocks – it's a great, exciting mix.

The main shopping street of Surry Hills is Crown Street, and it is here you will find inventive homeware stores. Some of Sydney's best restaurants are here as well.

Walk up Oxford Street from Hyde Park, and on the left is Darlinghurst, and on the right is Surry Hills

Bailmain is a suburb west of Darling Harbour, which is full of trendy bars, restaurants and art shops/galleries. The houses are beautiful and the whole area has a relaxing 'Mediterranean' ambiance.

Can be reached by taking the Woolwich/Birkenhead Ferry from Circular Quay to either Thames Street or Darling Street.

When I asked two intelligent professional Sydneysiders they couldn't think of a cultural highlight, which doesn't look good does it? But the city does have some excellent galleries; the Art Gallery of NSW is one of the best.
