  • Metro Monorail station at Darling Harbour - Sydney

    A commercial Monorail service operates around the main retail area of the central business district running down to Darling Harbour and skirting the harbour, before returning to the city area. A return trip is a good way of getting some perspective on the upper part of the central business district. It also gives you a great elevated look at picturesque Darling Harbour. Since its opening, the loop that runs through downtown Sydney to Darling Harbour has become a must-see must-ride for visitors to the city. Stations are located inside buildings, over freeways, at hotels and near various tourist destinations.

    the monorail is a train that has a single track above the ground, which goes through buildings, over streets etc. it's very cool to sit in it, it feels like your gliding on air. it does a loop, so for a single ride of $4 you can go around as many times as you like. we did the loop once just to check it out and take in the views. it stops at major points like darling harbor, paddy's markets, pitt street and galeries victoria.

  • A Monorail service operates around the CBD and down to Darling Harbour. It is little more than a tourist trolley really and not many locals use it. If you don't mind walking you may be better off saving your money, although on a wet day, I'm sure the Monorail would be handy. Monorail stations: 1. City Centre 2. Darling Park 3. Harbourside 4. Darling Harbour Exhibition and Convention 5. Haymarket 6. World Square 7. Park Plaza

    The monorail might be listed under "tourist traps" since it only goes on a loop in the area of Darling Harbour and has only eight stops. However, you do get nice views of the harbour from the train windows.

    The Monorail was very disappointing. Many complaints to be had and honestly something I'll not do again now that I have finally tried it on my fourth visit to Sydney. It is a very rough ride. Whomever designed this certainly did not work on the Disney team. It is expensive at $4.50 per person. Cheaper options are available that I suggest like the superpass to mix with the Light Rail. There is no where near enough room on the trains for the people. 8 seats per car is all it has. That is nuts. The one good thing I can say about the trip is inside the ticketed area you find cheap post cards at 40 cents each. Some are quite nice and we did buy 10 while there.

    The monorail is basically something for the "tourists" to do. My boyfriend had a desire to ride it and so we did. It was a little wobbly; which made me nervous. There are not alot of seats so be prepared to stand. I guess it was one of those do it because it's there attractions.

    This relatively novel form of transport will take you all around Sydney's city center and Darling Harbour. The stops are numerous and close to many of the landmarks and attractions. The cost is A$4 per entry, or you can get a day pass for A$9.

    The Monorail operates every day except Christmas Day. It's an easy and fun way to get around. You will never have to wait long, they run every 3 to 5 minutes. Buy your fare at one of the 7 stations. 1 loop will cost you $4.50 or buy a "supervoucher day pass" at $9 ($22 per family) to enable you to get on and off all day. With the day pass you will also get discounts at several tourist attractions. These include The National Maritime Museum, Powerhouse Museum, Sydney Tower & OzTrek, Harbour Jet, Sydney Aquarium.
