Common questions

What is the best way to see Sydney in one day? A hop-on hop-off bus or ferry pass covers the main sights. Add a sunset cruise in the evening if you can.

Bus or ferry – which hop-on hop-off pass should I choose? The bus is best for city and beach sights; the ferry is best for the harbour. You can do one on each day.
