Tips & Hacks For Making The Best of 2 Days in Sydney<\/h2>\n
- \n
- While you can buy individual tickets for some modes of transport, your best bet would be to get an Opal card<\/a>. This smartcard can be used on trains, ferries, buses and the Light Rail. You can top up your Opal card at train stations, convenience store, and online (if you’re registered).<\/li>\n
- If you get a hotel in the Central Business District (CBD), you can actually walk to most of the popular attractions. The Sydney Harbour Bridge, Luna Park, Circular Quay and other landmarks are all within walking distance of the CBD. Walking through the streets of Sydney will also afford you a deeper understanding of the city.<\/li>\n
- Sydney is a city of early risers and most cafes open by 7:00 AM. You can go on a walk during the wee hours of your morning to avoid both tourist traffic and harsh sunlight.<\/li>\n
- Sydney is generally warm and humid and you should pack accordingly. Bring a pair of jeans, a couple of shorts, swimming trunks or bathing suit, some t-shirts, a pair of flip flops, comfortable walking shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen and a hat. If you’re going during the monsoon season, also pack an umbrella or raincoat.<\/li>\n
- When it comes to food, Sydney will not leave you disappointed. It offers a glorious mix of cuisines including chicken schnitzel, pad thai, kebabs, meat pie, laska, Brazilian barbeque and much more. A local breakfast favorite is avocado on toast. Also give vegemite — a food spread famous in Australia — a try.<\/li>\n
- Wi-Fi is pretty weak in Sydney and you’ll need to purchase to a hotspot device to access the internet at all times.<\/li>\n
- Smoking is a big No in most parts of Sydney and a single pack costs a whopping AUD$27. If you smoke, look out for areas with designated smoking zones.<\/li>\n
- There are a couple of free art galleries you can visit if time permits. These include the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Art Gallery of New South Wales amongst others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- Bus: <\/b> An integral part of Sydney’s public transport network, buses are the easiest way to travel to most of the eastern and northern suburbs. Apart from tourists, a lot of locals make use of the bus network for daily commute. You can either buy tickets for individual journeys from one of the many ticket kiosks located throughout the city or opt for the convenient Opal card which can be used for all transport options. For those traveling after hours, NightRide is a special bus service that runs specifically from 12:00 AM to 4:00 AM.<\/li>\n
- Light rail:<\/b> Sydney’s light train network connects Sydney’s central business district to major suburbs. The light rail line operates across a 12.8 km route and has 23 stops. There’s also a 24-hour service connecting Central to The Star, Australia’s second largest casino. The Sydney light rail network runs from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM on Sat-Thu and 6:00 AM to 12:00 AM on Friday. The line is operated by Trabsdev and uses the smartcard-based Opal ticketing system. You can get your Opal card over the counter at thousands of retailers or on the Opal website.<\/li>\n
