See the City From a Height!
Sydney is a beautiful city from any perspective, but one of the most interesting viewpoints is the one you get from a height! When you ride the Sydney Monorail that is exactly what you get to see – Sydney from a bird’s eye view but without needing to fly too high. The Monorail runs on a raised rail supported by steel columns. The rail is 5.5 metres of the ground and the 12 minute ride lets you get a great overview of the city centre area from Chinatown to Darling Harbour and everything in between.
On the Sydney Monorail you ride over the heads of the visitors who are busy strolling the walkways as they seek out the next great attraction. Of course, you can also sit back and enjoy the feeling of satisfaction you get riding over the people who are still working while you get to play. You know during your ride you will be able to avoid the crowds as you are delivered directly to your destination.
It’s hard not to feel a little superior when riding in such comfort right over the traffic and people congestion. You don’t have a worry in the world because you don’t have to worry about traffic lights, missed turns, pedestrian jams, or even watching where you walk. Instead you just hop aboard the Sydney Monorail and take advantage of temperature controlled comfort that makes travelling even a short distance so convenient.
The Best Overview
Riding the Sydney Monorail gives you the best overview possible of so many Sydney sights in the city centre and the nearby harbours. You can ride around the circular track all you want until you are comfortable with the location of the great attractions and various places to visit. The best part is you are riding high in the air so you see the city from a height that gives you the best view.
The Sydney Monorail leaves a station at Darling Harbour so you can begin your trip with a stunning view of a beautiful bay. But that is just the beginning. As the Monorail follows its set path, you get to see an overview of the many parks, walkways, museum buildings, shopping areas and the convention and exhibition centres. You can make a mental note about what you want to visit or you can simply get off at each station and take advantage of the fun and excitement Sydney offers.
One of the advantages of riding the Monorail is the fact you can get a view from a height so you can form your impressions without worrying about anything else like traffic or crowds. The Monorail will take you by Darling Harbour, into Chinatown, over a variety of city centre streets, and back to Darling Harbour.
Close Encounter of the Convenient Kind
In fact, the Sydney Monorail will take you to spots that have been closed to motorcar traffic. The Monorail takes you over the Pyrmont Bridge so you get a unique perspective of a spectacular bay. This is a close encounter while on a comfortable and convenient ride.
One you have seen the city from a height, the fun is just starting. You can take the “high” experience and convert it into a great walking tour. Just choose the station you want to exit the Monorail at and get ready to have a great visit. The Sydney Monorail may be high in the air, but it promises only “grounded” fun!
