Sydney, AUS kind of boring!

Is it me or is Sydney, Australia just not that interesting of a city? It’s my first time here and I was thinking this city would blow me away. It has not. I allocated 4 days to this city and am on day 2 and have already explored/seen Chinatown, Haymarket, Darlinghurst, the Harbour, Opera House, Tower Eye, Manly (the beach), park, etc. This city is pretty, the weather is fine, and the people are nice. However, it’s a one & done city for me!

Reddit users tried to convince me 4 days in Sydney is not enough and that at least a week or more is needed here — I beg to differ. I’d say Sydney can be done in 3 days (including a day trip to the Blue Mountains). Although, I did not go to the Blue Mountains. I’m saying this based off how quickly I got through the main sites.

I don’t like to waste time sitting in my hotel room on vacation, but what more is there to do besides going out to eat?

Has anyone that’s visited Sydney share the same sentiment and if not, what did you do here that was the highlight of your experience?

FOR SOME MORE CONTEXT/CLARIFICATION:

Some of you in the comments can’t fathom the thought of seeing more than 1 site in a day. I’m not a slow paced traveller, and by that I mean I do not dedicate a 24 hour day to seeing ONE thing. Some of you would dedicate 2 weeks in Paris and spend it all seeing the Louvre. When I got to Sydney, my flight landed at 6 AM. That alone gave me a chunk of time to kill before checking into my hotel.

Everyone’s different and I’ve always been more of a fast traveler and that works for me. Key word “ME”. This is not my first rodeo! I’ve visited other cities & countries where I’ve had a very fulfilling experience in 4 or less days because I make itineraries as well as reservations in advance to ensure I’ll get to see/do what I planned. To those saying traveling to places to cross things off a list doesn’t make sense, uh? I mean, isn’t that kind of the purpose of having an itinerary when you visit places? To list or plan what you’re going to do and check it off as it’s been done and you move onto the next thing. Not saying that’s the SOLE purpose of traveling, but part of it is crossing places off your list. Bucket list sounds familiar, no? This city is just not that interesting to me compared to other cities I’ve visited. That’s all!
