The beautiful suburb of Glebe was my home for my five days in Sydney. Previously I’d only stayed in Sydney’s CBD and in Darling Harbour, so Glebe was a welcome change, home to many stunning buildings, quirky cafes, and a beautiful park along the water’s edge. What I liked most was how relaxed it felt, while still being quite close to the city.

Jubilee Park follows the curve of Rozelle Bay and then leads onto a well-maintained pathway to Blackwattle Bay and on to the city. I loved the view, which looked over to Anzac Bridge and the Harbour Bridge.

The Glebe Saturday markets were full of quirky stalls and even quirkier characters, like this bluegrass band who were entertaining the crowds.

I went for a wander around the neighbourhood and stumbled upon the Glebe Town Hall – not too sure who the lucky birthday kid was!

I stayed at the Glebe YHA, which would have been a pretty standard backpackers except for their awesome rooftop terrace with its views towards the city and all the sunshine – amazing.
