Sydney is gorgeous all year long, making it a popular destination for backpackers no matter the season. Not every part of Sydney is easy to get to on foot though. For backpackers in Sydney, booking a shuttle or car service is sometimes a necessity. It’s also the best way to see the different and diverse parts of Sydney from little used dirt paths to out of the way landscapes to the hard to get to coastal areas. Our people movers are ready to help you see it all!

With its history of walkabouts, camping, and hiking, Sydney has wholeheartedly embraced backpackers throughout the city, and hostels and other backpacker accommodations have cropped up over every part of CBD and the Sydney suburbs.

Each has restaurants, pubs, and bars located right along the beach! If you’re looking to explore the city more, check out the hostels in Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, and Sydney CBD.
