Cheap student flights to Sydney

Obviously, if you are an Australian national you will not need a visa to visit Sydney. But if you’re coming to Sydney from a different country for leisure, work or study, you will need to get a visa for your visit. Just be sure to research the visa requirements for your nationality and get your visa sorted before you depart.

Sydney sits in the Australian Eastern Daylight time zone, which may be the same time zone as where you’re from or it may be slightly different. If you’re in the states of New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, Tasmania or Queensland you’ll be in the same time zone. South Australia and Northern Territory are on Australian Central Standard Time and Western Australia is on the Australian Western Standard Time, so you will experience some difference in time.

There’s heaps of events that take place in Sydney throughout the year. At the start of the year, there’s Sydney Festival, Mardi Gras, Vivid Sydney and the Sydney Film Festival. Towards the latter half of the year, there’s City2Surf and of course, the famous fireworks at Sydney Harbour for New Year’s Eve.

Sydney’s city centre is pretty accessible on foot, bike or bus. If you’re staying in some of the outer suburbs you may need to take a train to your destination. The ferry from Sydney Harbour is also a great way to get to other parts of the city including Manly, Mosman, Parramatta and Watsons Bay. Plus you get the added benefit of the stunning city views too! Just be sure to get yourself an Opal card before you travel.

Of course, there are famous landmarks such as Circular Quay’s Sydney Opera House, Darling Harbour, Sydney Tower, and the Harbour Bridge Climb. But that’s not all. Enjoy the stunning city views from the Manly ferry, visit a beach or two along the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk, take a drive to the Blue Mountains or grab a bite to eat at the Grounds of Alexandria, Carriageworks Farmers Market or Paddy’s Night Food Markets.

Being a green traveller in Sydney is becoming easier to do since the city set out its Sustainable Sydney 2030 goals. See the city and stay green by using walking and cycling networks. Heading to one of the outer suburbs? Just jump on a bus or a train. And if you’re looking at accommodation and tours in and around Sydney just be sure to choose responsible and ethical options. And hey, you can even carbon offset your flight to Sydney too.
