Sydney

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.

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.

Terrace streets beside Sydney Uni and Redfern's buzz, leafy and walkable. Inner-city character with green pockets close by.

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.

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.

Glebe's quieter neighbour, with Harold Park's tramshed eats and Federation terraces on leafy lanes. Village-small, walkable and reliably dog-friendly.

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.

Converted wharves, water on three sides and Pirrama Park's waterfront lawns right on the harbour. City-close living with room to stretch the legs.

Spice Alley, hidden bars and Central Park's green roof, all a stumble from Central. Small, arty and dense, with pockets of lawn for a quick stretch.

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