Most major City Cards in Sydney include a 24-hour or 48-hour ticket for the Hop-On Hop-Off bus tour. This allows you to travel between attractions easily while enjoying audio commentary and panoramic views.

For highly popular monuments and museums of Sydney, booking a time slot is often required even with a City Pass. After purchasing your pass, you will receive instructions on how to reserve your entry time online to ensure skip-the-line access to some attractions.

Your pass is usually activated upon first use (the first time you scan it at an attraction or on a bus in Sydney). Depending on the option you buy, it is valid for a set number of consecutive days (e.g., 2, 3 days), hours (e.g., 24, 72 hours), or for a specific number of attractions (e.g., 3, 5, or 7 visits) to use at your own pace.

We recommend buying your pass online before you travel to Sydney. This gives you ample time to make necessary reservations for popular sights and ensures you are ready to start exploring the moment you check into your hotel.

Most City Cards offer a free cancellation or refund period (often up to 90 days) as long as the pass has not been activated. Check the specific terms and conditions on the booking page for peace of mind.
