Elizabeth Bay

Harbour foreshore beneath the Bridge, beside The Rocks' history. Scenic, walkable and made for a waterside city stroll.

Sandstone terraces, boutique-lined Oxford Street and the leafy hush of Five Ways. Paddo does fashion and Sunday strolls in equal measure — bring a well-dressed dog.

Leafy backstreets, off-leash pockets and a cafe scene that actually wants your dog there. Crown Street's the morning-walk MVP — coffee at one end, a tie-up spot at every other.

Art deco blocks, tree-lined streets and a cafe on every corner. Embarkation Park hands you off-leash time with a harbour backdrop. Dense, glamorous and surprisingly dog-easy.

Darling Harbour-close and city-dense, with Wentworth Park's green just over the road. Urban, studenty and handy for a quick lap between the high-rises.

Cobblestones, harbour pubs and weekend markets under the Bridge. Sydney's oldest corner does history and a waterfront wander in one — dog by your side.

King Street is tattooed, big-hearted and endlessly dog-friendly. Beer gardens, bookshops and pubs where the water bowl lands before the menu.

Grand terraces, the famous Witches' Houses and quiet streets between Glebe and Leichhardt. A calmer slice of the inner west, made for an unhurried lap.

Historic harbour-edge terraces beside Barangaroo's foreshore green. Sandstone-old, walkable and made for a scenic city stroll.

Old rail yards turned markets and maker spaces, beside Redfern's buzz. Gritty, creative and walkable, with green pockets close by.
