1. Take in the Views at the Sydney Opera House and Circular Quay

No visit to Sydney is complete without a stop at Circular Quay, home to the world-famous Sydney Opera House. You don’t need to pay for a performance to appreciate this architectural masterpiece.

Stroll around the area for some of the best Instagrammable places in Sydney with panoramic views of the Harbour Bridge and sparkling blue waters. If you’re lucky, you might even spot a street performer or two.

Tip: Stay until dusk to see the Opera House lit up. It’s one of the top free things to do in Sydney and the views are spectacular.

2. Wander Through the Royal Botanic Garden

The Royal Botanic Garden is an oasis of calm in the heart of the city. You can walk through lush greenery, admire exotic plants and soak in the serene surroundings without spending a cent.

This spot is perfect for families, solo travelers or couples looking for a peaceful retreat. Plus, it offers some of the best views of the Sydney Harbour, making it an ideal addition to your bucket list.

Don’t miss: The Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair viewpoint inside the garden—it’s a top Instagrammable place and a photographer’s dream.

3. Cross the Iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge

Walking across the Sydney Harbour Bridge is not only free but also one of the best ways to experience Sydney’s skyline. The pedestrian walkway offers jaw-dropping views of the Opera House, Circular Quay and beyond.

This experience is also an excellent opportunity to tick a major attraction off your bucket list without spending money. If you’re feeling adventurous, visit at sunrise for magical photo opportunities.

Pro tip: Bring a camera and take your time to soak in the scenery—this is one of the top free things to do in Sydney.

4. Relax at Bondi Beach and Walk the Coastal Trail

Bondi Beach is synonymous with Sydney. Pack your sunscreen, roll out your towel and enjoy the sun and surf at this iconic location.

For those who love scenic walks, the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Trail is a must-do. It’s a 6-kilometer trek that takes you past stunning cliffs, coves and beaches, all while being completely free.

How to get around: Sydney’s public transport system makes it easy to reach Bondi. Catch a bus from the city center and you’ll be there in no time.

5. Discover the Art at the Museum of Contemporary Art

Located in The Rocks, the Museum of Contemporary Art offers free entry to its permanent exhibits. It’s a fantastic way to immerse yourself in Australian and international art without spending a dime.

The museum itself is housed in a beautiful Art Deco building and the rooftop café offers incredible views of the harbour.

Hot tip: Check their schedule for free workshops and talks—they’re worth adding to your things to do list.

6. Hike the Blue Mountains for Free

If you’re up for a day trip, the Blue Mountains are just a short train ride from Sydney. This UNESCO World Heritage site offers breathtaking landscapes, waterfalls and hiking trails, all free to explore.

Don’t miss the Three Sisters rock formation and Echo Point lookout. These are Instagrammable places you’ll want to capture for sure.

How to get around: A train from Central Station to Katoomba will get you to the Blue Mountains. Once there, many of the trails and lookouts are easily accessible.

7. Explore Sydney’s Historic The Rocks District

The Rocks is one of Sydney’s oldest neighborhoods and is packed with history. Wander through cobblestone streets, admire the old architecture and enjoy the weekend markets.

This is also a great spot for finding Instagrammable places from historic buildings to harbour views. Best of all, exploring this charming district is completely free.

8. Visit Darling Harbour and Barangaroo Reserve

Darling Harbour is a vibrant area full of attractions, many of which are free. Walk along the waterfront, check out the Chinese Garden of Friendship (free on select days), or visit the contemporary Barangaroo Reserve for stunning harbour views.

It’s an excellent spot for families, offering wide-open spaces for kids to play and plenty of picnic spots.

9. Catch a Free Event at Sydney’s Public Spaces

Sydney frequently hosts free events and festivals, ranging from outdoor concerts to art installations. Check out popular venues like The Domain or Barangaroo for updates on what’s happening during your visit.

Bucket list alert: Visiting during events like Vivid Sydney (a free light festival) can make your trip extra special.

10. Chase Sunset Views at Mrs Macquarie’s Chair

Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair is one of the best spots to watch the sunset over Sydney Harbour. Located at the edge of the Royal Botanic Garden, it offers unobstructed views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.

Bring a snack, sit back and watch the city light up—it’s the perfect way to end a day of exploring Sydney for free.
