Stroll Through One of Sydney’s Art Galleries

Sydney is home to a number of incredible art galleries, and the best thing is most of them offer free exhibitions alongside paid areas.

And if you’re looking for a fun way to spend a night out in Sydney, particularly during the colder months, head to The Art Gallery of NSW for Art After Hours. Wander through the extensive free exhibitions, grab a drink at the bar, or even stay for dinner and make a night of it.
