Meet people in Sydney

Pick something that repeats every week and go twice. A free walking tour is the easiest way to meet other travellers. This week there's also Pirrama parkrun, Tuesday Trivia at The Lansdowne and Naughty Numbers: Bingo with Marilyn Mootrub.

Yes: everything here is the kind of thing people go to alone, from trivia nights that put you on a team to walking tours where everyone's a stranger at the start. The weekly nights at hotels and hostels are open to everyone, not just their guests.

Choose "I live here" above: your first month in Sydney, planned one week at a time, then the weekly nights, because going back is how strangers become friends.
