It's Sydney's famous and flagship gelato shop - and for a reason. Go between meal times to an empty shop so you can spend a while trying the unique flavours. It's just a 5 minute walk from our place. (Other locations incl Surry Hills, Star City Casino, Bondi Beach)

Is quite hard to find as it is unmarked and up an elevator. The elevator button says 'R', which is the only hint. It's also a roof top bar, so you can see Sydney Centrepoint Tower. If you want to sit in the outdoor area I would recommend booking a table to eat.

Sydney used to be home to one of the largest tram network in the world, until they were discontinued in the 1960's. Recently the old tram shed was converted into a shopping area and is a lovely place to visit. Stop by Jubilee park on the way back through Glebe.
