Travel Sydney Australia

Are you a tourist heading down under? Thinking about how to travel Sydney Australia?

You could rent a car if you intend to go to the outer suburbs or to visit the beautiful surroundings: Central Coast, Hunter Valley, Blue Mountains or South Coast.

You could also go on a tour. There are lots of buses that operate tours in Sydney and around to get you to the best attractions and take the hassle of a long drive.

Find and book Sydney tours and activities on Viator.com. Book ahead to save time and money!

If you want to explore the city on your own and have limited time just to see the centre and a couple of its most famous beaches, you are better off using the public transport: the cityrail and buses. You could also take the free shuttle bus to view the major attractions in the City.

But for a nicer tourist experience you can't go past the monorail, the light rail and the ferries.

The Monorail and the Tram

If you want to see Sydney from the top, take the elevated monorail.

You'll ride some 5 metres above the ground and get a better view of the street. Go over George Street past the windows of office blocks and shops, admire the beautiful Queen Victoria Building and head to Darling Harbour over Pyrmont Bridge and then on to Chinatown.

The tram (light rail) starts at Central Station and will take you to Chinatown, the Fish market and then to the inner western suburbs up to Lilyfield.

Sydney Ferries

There is no cheaper way to enjoy Sydney water views than to hop on a ferry.

You can also discover some of Sydney attractions such as Manly beach, the spectacular Taronga Zoo, Darling Harbour, Luna Park or see Sydney Olympic Park.

Sydney ferries are a great way to commute to work if you live and work in suburbs around the harbour.
