The MCA is situated just in front of the water, with views of the Sydney Opera house and right next to the Harbour bridge. With 3 floors of contemporary art, starting with more emerging artists on the first floor, going up to it's permannent collection on the second and then usually a mindblowing solo show from an established artist or group show. You can finish your visit with a lovely meal and drinks on the fourth floor, which offers some of the best views of Sydney. Pictured here is a photograph taken from Tatsuo Miyajmi's exhibition and his artwork Mega Death.

I love the effortless elegance of Alistair Trung's trans-seasonal, trans-occasional, trans-age, trans-size and trans-gender pieces. And his stores are always artistically presented and inspiring to be in, with bits of collected wood, bones, feathers and other found natural beauties

Super nice cafe that runs the whole way through a block in Surry Hills. Awesome food and super fun staff + they have really good coffee. It's big so you always get a place and it's a super chilled atmosphere.

With heaps of curves, greenery and natural light, this library is super conducive to working and learning — plus there's a secret slippery slide for kids that goes through the middle of the building, just for fun

My personal favourite Australian artist Ken Done has his gallery in the middle of The Rocks, near Circular Quay. Its constantly updated with his new and old works and well worth a visit!
