Traveling to Sydney: Organizing the trip

The Preparations

Once you have decided to travel to Sydney, the first thing is to know what the main requirements are and what you should do when traveling to Australia, In this post, you will find everything you need when it comes to organize a trip to Australia.

Planning by days

A very important task on any trip, and especially when travelling to Sydney, is to plan by day. To organise our routes we usually read many travel journals and blogs and we look for all the official tourism websites.

A good option in Sydney is the Sydney Unlimited Attractions Pass, which allows free access to more than 20 attractions in Sydney, including the Opera House, the tourist bus or Madame Tussauds museum. Or, the card Go City: Sydney Explorer Pass offers access to 2, 3, 4, 5 or 7 of the city's top attractions.

Transport

Arriving in Sydney from the airport

There is a train line between the airport and Sydney Central Station. This 10km line (www.airportlink.com.au) ) has five stations, one at the airport's international terminal and one at the domestic terminal. 

Another option is private transfers, which are a bit more expensive than the other options, however, it is a super comfortable option since they take you from the airport to the hotel and can be a super good option if you are a group of 3 or 4.

You can book it in advance online at this link.
