Canberra is not a large city so the easiest way to get around is often on foot, although there is a free bus you can take around the city centre. The long-awaited new tram network has finally been installed which means that you can get to other districts of Canberra very quickly. If you plan to use public transport frequently, you should consider getting a MyWay card which you can buy from any newsagent in town. The price for bus and tram rides is usually around $3 but with a MyWay card they are considerably cheaper at around $1.

Canberra is a very bike-friendly city and most people take advantage of its many cycle paths. You could buy a brand-new bike but if you want to save money, go to the Bike Shed to get one made from second-hand parts

You can use companies like ACT Cabs but it is usually cheaper to use Uber or Ola (another ridesharing app).

Canberra is excellently located and in easy reach of both Sydney and Melbourne by train, plane or bus.
