Getting Around Sydney

Making your way around Sydney and the greater Sydney region is a breeze thanks to the large variety of solutions on offer by Sydney public transport and private transport operators.

For a start, Sydney ferries and Sydney bus and train services are second to none. All three services are linked via the flexible SydneyPass unlimited travel passports providing cheap travel to Sydney attractions and venues such as Taronga Zoo, Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney Olympic Park, Luna Park, Sydney Aquarium and many more attractions easily accessible from Sydney resorts & hotels. Many Sydney Harbour cruises are also included in the high-value passports.

Sydney trains operate regularly in most areas of Sydney. The City Circle services such destinations as the Opera House and museums, The Rocks, Circular Quay and more. The Sydney monorail runs frequently between City Centre and Darling Harbour Sydney and the Light Rail travels from Sydney Central.

What better way to see the Sydney Harbour Bridge, before or after attempting the exhilarating Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb, than by ferry. Sydney boasts an outstanding service criss-crossing the harbour. You can even leave the harbour and head up the river to historical Parramatta.
