Trains run from the airport into Sydney Central station between 5am and midnight, seven days a week – the station is right under the airport terminal. Get an Opal card if you plan to use public transport while you’re in Sydney – it works a lot like an Oyster card in London. There are also plenty of buses, including the KST Airporter shuttle, which takes you to set points in the city, and hotel shuttle buses, which will be prearranged with your booking. You could also opt to take a taxi.
What are the top things to do in Sydney?
Ready to explore Sydney? Then you’re in for a treat. The capital of New South Wales and one of Australia's biggest cities is probably most well-known for the sail-shaped Sydney Opera House, which is a must-visit. But make sure you save plenty of time to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge, potter around the Australian Museum, get lost in the Royal Botanic Gardens and of course – hit the sand on the unmissable Bondi Beach.
Do I need a visa to travel to Sydney?
Yes, you need a visa to travel to Australia. If you’re a British citizen you can get two types of electronic visitor visa.

Or, you can get an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) from your travel agent or airline. Again, there’s no visa application charge, but there is a service fee.
