Transportation & Reach
Excellently connected by air and surface transport, getting to Sydney from other cities and towns in Australia or from anywhere in the world is quite easy and convenient. Sydney’s comprehensive and functional mass transportation system rang from ferries, buses, trains to taxies.

Thanks to the recent Olympics’2000 held in the city, which further enhanced the city, commuting facilities with excellent bus, ferry and rail networks.

Sydney Airports:
Kingsford Smith (Sydney) Airport (SYD). The Airport is situated at 10 km south of the city. One of the busiest airports in the world, Kingsford handles both domestic and international flights.

Sydney Railway Transportation:
The inter-state train service operates under the Countrylink. Central Station is the main junction for national trips.

• Daily train services link Sydney to Canberra, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide.
  
• Special trains like the Ghan and Indian-Pacific connect New South Wales to Perth, Alice Springs and Adelaide.
  
• An extensive rail network within the state provides easy access to places within the territory of New South Wales.

Local Transportation of Sydney:
Public Transport services for the whole of the island of Montreal are run by the Societe de Transport de Montreal (STM), while commuter rail and off-island bus services are coordinated by the Agence Metropolitaine de Transport. The network is served by:

• Bus. Running to the suburbs of the city, buses are without a doubt the best and cheapest way to get around Sydney. Only buses reach some places in the city like Northern Beaches.
  
  
• Train. Trains are the quickest way of getting around Sydney. Light Rail is a brand new 24-hour service while monorail circles Darling Harbor and the southwestern parts of the city. The City Circle is the best link to get around through train. Most of the trains in Sydney are double-deckers with plenty of space.
  
• Ferry. The most enjoyable, entertaining and economical way to get around. Most of the ferries depart from Circular Quay. No trip to Sydney is complete without a ferry ride to Manly Beach, Taronga Park Zoo and Watsons Bay.
  
  

Hotels & Accommodation
The Emerald City is the perfect place to mix business with pleasure. This world-class city buzzes with range of accommodations at your disposal. Although the city most definitely not the cheapest place to spend the night, but there are a few backpacker's hostels that are located quite centrally.

The 2000 Sydney Olympics led the establishment of more hotels to cater the visitors, but still it's unlikely to find the city's hotels completely booked therefore, it's probably wise to reserve rooms in advance.
