Just 5 kilometres from the CBD and a stone's throw from Sydney Airport, it offers travellers an authentic local escape from tourist crowds. Stroll its tree-lined streets to discover converted 19th-century warehouses now housing artisan bakeries, hip cafes, and design studios. The bustling Erskineville Road precinct buzzes with brunch spots and boutique shopping, while nearby Alexandria Park provides a green oasis with sports fields and a community pool. For culture enthusiasts, the White Rabbit Gallery exhibits contemporary Chinese art, and the historic Eveleigh Railway Workshops host occasional markets. Foodies will love the diverse eateries, from Vietnamese pho joints to Italian trattorias. Yet despite its proximity to the city, Alexandria retains a laid-back, village feel with a strong sense of community. Whether you're using it as a base to explore Sydney – with easy access to the Royal Botanic Garden and Bondi Beach – or simply soaking up local life, Alexandria is a hidden gem that rewards the curious traveller with a taste of real Sydney.",[10,13,15],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","000",{"key":14,"value":12},"Ambulance",{"key":16,"value":12},"Fire",[18,21,24,27,30,33,36,39,42,45,48,51],{"key":19,"value":20},"What currency is used?","Australian Dollar (AUD).
