This northern business district is a bustling metropolis during the week, with thousands of office workers jetting into the heart of the lower North Shore for work. Pockets of the suburb are home to grassy ovals and beautiful views of the harbour, while other parts are dominated by large high schools and high-rise buildings. Whatever your reason for ending up in North Sydney, be sure to drop by the historic Greenwood Hotel, a sandstone former school dating back to 1844 that in recent years has earned a well-deserved reputation as one of the North Shore's most popular meeting spots.
