Australia has always been known to be among the most expensive countries in the world. In fact, it’s most popular city, Sydney is ranked 10th most expensive city in the whole world. So, why even visit if it costs you an arm? Well, there are still loads of things you can do around here that’s not gonna cost your life savings such as those offers on things to do at Groupon. It’s only a matter of a few compromises and keeping an eye on some freebies which are equally worthwhile.
Visiting waterfalls
Surprisingly, in this big metropolis, there are several waterfalls that are ideal for a day trip. When traveling with a group, you can hire a taxi or rent a car and split the costs of the trip among the group.
Great waterfalls to visit are Wentworth Falls, Katoomba Falls, Paddy’s River Falls, Wattamolla Falls and many more!
Rock climbing
This is a very famous activity that is loved by locals and tourists alike. So, whenever you are in Sydney and you are looking to do something adventurous on a limited budget, there are places you can go.
Try Climbfit, Nomad Bouldering Gym, 9 Degrees, The Edge, Trees Adventure, Indoor Climbing Gym or The Climbing Centre.
Free Yoga classes
Usually, when we are traveling, we tend to neglect our eating habits and exercise routines to devour irresistible cuisines. Luckily, Sydney has tons of yoga hubs which offers yoga classes at very low cost.
You can also join some outdoor yoga community classes which are totally free. You just need to present yourself, register and enjoy the perks.
Exploring the art
There are different places in this beautiful city where you can visit and enjoy the art of the city at absolutely no cost. You can visit the art gallery of NSW or the Museum of Australian Currency Notes.
Or, even a simple stroll around the neighborhood or park may surprise you. Sydney is booming with artistic street art and colorful parks.
Sydney Opera
Well, you don’t have to go in but even from a distance, the Sydney Opera is a beautiful sight to see. On a regular basis, they make a grand, colorful display on the exterior of the opera house. I suggest to visit it both day and night to appreciate it.
So, there you have it! Five fun yet cheap things to do around the 10th most expensive city. Like I said, you don’t have splurge to have an exciting holiday here.
