They offer something for everyone, like a mixed bag of sweets. In any given week you could see a tart comedian, suck on a cinematic masterpiece, feast on aural treats belted out by a soul queen, marvel at sharp chords plucked by guitar legends, delight in the crunchy pleasures of rock opera, get in touch with the dead or even see Dr Who live.

The Metro Theatre

You could probably see these acts at a festival with dozens of others to boot - a lot of performances on here are festival sideshows - but The Metro offers something festivals just can't. For a medium-size venue, it's surprisingly intimate. And it feels as if your favourite bands, DJs or comedians are singing their siren songs just for you.

Bronte Beach

Relatively small compared to Bondi and Coogee Bronte still manages to pack it all in. There's a large park with barbecues so you can cook your own lunch, a saltwater lap pool, rock pools with all sorts of sea critters, and most glorious of all, the beach itself. Make sure you walk up to the cliffs for a breathtaking view of the Pacific.

Take in some of Sydney's bushland without leaving the city, plus the chance to look at Aboriginal engravings. Easily accessible by bus at the start (just across the Spit Bridge at Clontarf) and with the option to return to the city by the Manly ferry (ends at Manly Ferry Wharf).

Try the music venue at 280 Cleveland St; soak up live tunes while playing checkers, order a cheese board between funk classics, or a boozy affogato while swaying to reggae, gypsy beats and contemporary jazz. Perhaps you'd prefer the theatre space at 342 Elizabeth St? There are over 30 shows scheduled in 2015, by emerging and established artists.

Built in 1908, this heritage galaxy of dreams is the longest running live venue in the city. And the best. Not too small and not too large, there's no better place in town to see twinklers from the hero nebula. She's hosted them all, from the gyrating brilliance of the Rolling Stones to the blazing splendour of The White Stripes. Even The Wiggles!

Royal Botanic Gardens

It's the city's backyard, covering thirty hectares of prime, waterfront real estate with plants from all corners of the globe. And it's as diverse as the city itself - a series of interconnected gardens rather than one homogeneous whole. So bring a picnic, a frisbee, a book or a bike: the gardens are for everyone.

The markets aren't just for shopping. The old dame fills cheap chow prescriptions. She's got shots of cheesy gosleme, chilli stoked doses of madras cuisine, Hungarian donuts + organic apples to keep the doctor away. Stock up, find a patch of grass, soak up the sun and bask in the warm lilt of Saturday afternoon, mingling with soulful tunes.

If you're used to beaches without the rough waves of many Australian beaches, you'll feel more at home at Shelley Beach. Alternatively, if it's the local sealife that you want to experience, enter the beach on the left-hand side and continue down to Fairy Bower (just past the rock pool).

A great space, catering for every taste. Almost. 1 Direction fans will find no joy here. Located down the road from its big sister, The Enmore, The Factory once felt miles away from the action. But Marrickville is really starting to shine. There's a galaxy of cultural delights beginning to emerge. And the Factory is one its biggest stars.

See the world from tilted perspectives: nothing's straight up and down, but it's always tackled head on. Belvoir might program Peter Pan with an Aboriginal actor in the role, Medea from the kids' perspective, Hedda Gabler with a male lead in drag, or a campfire tale about forbidden love between an Aboriginal farm-hand and his white mistress.

It's an easy 2km walk that looks out across the harbour and skirts around five tiny beaches all inviting you to dive in or stop and picnic on the sand. There are also plenty of multi-million dollar homes to admire along the way.

This is Dendy Newtown's harbourside cousin. She doesn't show blockbusters; there's none strong enough to wrestle with her knockout location. Watch an arthouse gem, an indie crowd pleaser, or the latest offering from the National Theatre in London. Then, emerge from the darkness and see the aqua light - a high octane buzz no shoot 'em up could match

Ramba, samba, Bollywood, salsa, tango, burlesque, belly dancing, funk, hip hop, reggaeton, kizomba, jazz fusion, ballet - you name it, there's a good chance it's on at Dance Central. But be warned: some classes are part of a course, so check if the class you want is drop-in or not; otherwise you may end up out of step with everyone else.
