That's a great tip to save money. Really like the comparison between taking the train vs. Uber from the airport. This is very useful.

Comprehensive guide Janice! Everything u need to know about getting into sydney and what to see once you are there. We will share this w anyone headed there for sure and hope to use this ourselves someday. We have never been to Australia before.

Thanks so much guys! Do let me know if you guys ever come visit!!

Good tip on booking the restaurants. That's one of the things we forget to do. Tipping is always so stressful, so glad it's not an issue here. Good to know shops close early.

Wow I live in Sydney too and I really enjoyed watching your video. Great tips!! Yes, you are right with the weather!!! It’s usually 4 seasons in one day!!! My tip, in spring, summer, and autumn take a jacket with you and a umbrella, as the weather is unpredictable. Also the best places for coffee, is Maggio’s Cammeray the cafe has the best meals and they have a bakery too of fine French & Italian breads, pizza’s, pies & delectable Pattiserie cakes. Also Patterson’s coffee is so good, with their delicious food as well. Enjoy Sydney 🇦🇺

I avoided the station fee by walking to the Wolli Creek train station from the international terminal. It's a pleasant 20-minute walk. To avoid the fee when flying to any domestic terminal, one can take bus 400 to the Mascot Station (probably bus 420 would work too, I think I took 420, but it went to a different direction; I ended up getting off somewhere near the Arncliffe Station) . And to get to any terminal without paying the fee, one can go to the Mascot Station and then take bus 400 or 420 from Mascot Station, Coward St, Stand B (or walk to the airport).

Hi. I am living in Melbourne. The cheapest way to go to city from the airport is to take the bus to Mascot station then take the train. You can avoid the airport access fee.

Thanks 🙏

Money-saving tip: get the bus 400 or 440 to a station , that lies just outside of the airport stations like mascot or wolli creek. then proceed on your journey. You can then avoid the station access fee , altogether.

Need to try a Flat White!!! I ordered one here for the heck of it and the guy had NO idea what I was talking about. Haha

I got the Optus 20gb plan for 28 days for only AUD15 in their kiosk at the airport. Such a bargain. However, it doesnt have the best coverage but it works wonder in central but not so much when going to certain parts of Blue Mountains. You can still have some coverage when doing the Scenic World attractions. Traveling from/to airport can also be cheap if you use the 400 bus. From the airport, take the 400 bus from the bus stop infront of the International Airport T1 then alight at Mascot station bus stop. Then walk 3-5 minutes to Mascot train station and take the train to central and altogether this trip will only cost you around AUD3. Thats quite a saving! And oh you need to have an Optus card before that and you can get in the airport, such as WHSmith. I found the coffee in Sydney very cheap (and also good). It usually costs around AUD5 which is equivalent to SGD5-6 whereas you cannot find coffee under AUD5 in Singapore, for comparison. I miss their flat whites a lot. Thank you for this Janice especially the information on the weekly reward for travelling in Sydney.

At least you guys have a train line connected to the airport, unlike in Melbourne, we either drive to there paying heaps toll fee and shocking airport parking fee, or hopping on a shuttle bus for $20 to the CBD train station and then pay another around $10 to the metropolitan subuarbs. We just started the construction project of airport train line after talking about it for a few decades, but it's gonna take 10 years to build

Sydney is one of the most serious and busiest places in the world. I know what it's like

I have been to Sydney & Gold Coast a few times and all of the times I've been there are right in the middle of summer. I can agree on the part where the sun can be really f**king harsh on the skin! I live most of my life in a sunny island called "Singapore" and I have never got a single sunburn here. The very first time I was at Gold Coast, I finally knew what my friends who have suffered sunburns before were talking about. And yes! As a coffee lover, I died in Sydney after my friend told me the places to have coffee there.

The train ride is relaxing and comfortable. Certainly not fast especially by European standards. The scenery is good, especially the descent from Cowan to the Hawkesbury River and alongside the creeks and inlets from there to Gosford. Thanks to an inexplicable decision by the train authorities, the northern terminus is now quite some distance from the main city and the beaches.

LOL That is the thing that I have the most problem with when I travel....Las Vegas is a 24/7 kinda city....The grocery stores close at midnight and reopen at 6am, but my local supermarket never closes, so I can do FULL shopping at 1am, and some Walmart's are open 24 hours. I sometimes wake up at 4 am (just because)...and I shower and get dressed and zip down to my local casino for a Steak and Eggs breakfast for $5.99 and some lite gambling...LOL or at 2am before I head home I stop by a Roberto's or Pepe's taco shop for a burrito or Carne Asada Fries. That is why Bangkok is a favorite of mine....Always something going on...and street food anytime day or night. The stairs and doors are a good tip. Americans would walk or stand on the right because we drive on the right. I always get into trouble when crossing the road.

Avoid the ridiculous airport train surcharge by catching a bus to the Mascot station north up the line, or walking to the Wolli Creek Station not far west of the InternationalTerminal.
