Sydney is a vibrant city just waiting for backpackers to explore. The city boasts some world famous tourist attractions and has an exciting events calendar. Sydney, with a population of almost 4 million, and covering almost 1120 square kilometres (700 square miles), is a remarkably easy city to move around in. An excellent train, bus and ferry service covers all points of the greater metropolitan area. Roadways, although congested in peak hour times, are generally well planned and driving is not too harrowing an experience.
Most Sydney tourist attractions are either within easy strolling distance from the Jolly Swagman Accommodation Sydney, and include the points around Sydney harbour and Bondi and Manly Beach.
