Travel Tips

Ensure you arrive early for fireworks Spots to secure a good view.
Roads close early; trains, ferries and buses run extended late-night services. Avoid driving or taking taxis near the harbour.
Due to the heavy crowd, the hotels near Darling Harbour and the CBD will be sold out earlier. You must book your rooms in advance.
As some prime locations (e.g., Barangaroo Reserve, the Botanic Gardens) require pre-booked tickets for entry, you must check availability before you go.
Bags are often checked at entry points; alcohol, glass bottles and large chairs are usually prohibited in public viewing zones.
As the temperature will be high in Sydney during this period, bring sunscreen, water and a hat if you plan to wait outdoors.
