Wake up and smell the coffee in Sydney

Travellers spending their summer break in Sydney might want to check out one of the city's most popular culinary festivals while they're there.

The Rocks Aroma Festival takes place on July 22nd and sees 90,000 people flock to the city to sample a wide array of coffee, tea, chocolate and spices from a range of vendors.

Visitors to Sydney can grab themselves a cup of coffee for as little as $1 (42p) from the coffee roasters at George Street and First Fleet Park and find a sugary treat at Campbells Cove, where platters of chocolate, fudge, nougat and more await.

Elsewhere, the Spice Bazaar in George Street offers up a host of tantalising ingredients to add to warming dishes, while live music is on hand to entertain at the Lifestyle Forecourt near the Overseas Passenger Terminal.

There's much more to see and do in Sydney once the festival finishes, with the city providing a range of night-time options such as restaurants, bars and clubs that cater to every taste.
