How to Get from Sydney to Canberra: Transport Showdown

When figuring out how to get from Sydney to Canberra, travelers usually weigh four main options: flying, catching the train, riding the bus, or renting a vehicle. Here is the hyper-specific breakdown of each method to help you make an informed decision.

What is the fastest way to travel from Sydney to Canberra?

The fastest way to travel from Sydney to Canberra is by taking a direct flight. Flights operated by Qantas Airways and Link Airways take exactly 55 minutes to travel from Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD) to Canberra Airport (CBR).

If you are incredibly tight on time, flying is an absolute no-brainer. However, you must factor in airport security and the transit time into the Central Business District. Expect to pay anywhere from AUD $150 to AUD $350 (MYR 429 to MYR 1,001) depending on how far in advance you book. Pro-tip: If you are flying during parliamentary sitting weeks, secure your seats weeks ahead as politicians and lobbyists quickly book out the morning departure slots. Also, consider the cost of the Airport Link train in Sydney, which adds about AUD $19 (MYR 54) to your commute.

How much does the Sydney to Canberra train cost?

A one-way ticket for the Sydney to Canberra train costs between AUD $29 and AUD $55 (MYR 83 to MYR 157) depending on whether you book Economy or First Class. Operated by NSW TrainLink, this scenic journey takes exactly 4 hours and 9 minutes.

If you genuinely enjoy legroom and rolling countryside views, the Sydney to Canberra train is arguably the most relaxing option available. Services depart multiple times daily (typically morning and midday) from Sydney Central Station and arrive at Canberra Kingston Station. The First Class upgrade is only a fraction more than Economy and is highly recommended for the extra seat recline, generous tray tables, and much quieter carriages. Keep an eye out for wild kangaroos as you pass through the Southern Highlands and Goulburn region!

Is it better to drive or take a bus from Sydney to Canberra?

Taking a bus is better for budget-conscious travelers who want a stress-free ride, while driving offers maximum flexibility for sightseeing. Direct coaches cost around AUD $30 to AUD $50 (MYR 86 to MYR 143), whereas driving takes roughly 3 hours and 15 minutes.

Operators like Murrays Coaches and Greyhound Australia run hourly express services from Sydney Central Station (Bay 8) directly to the Jolimont Centre in downtown Canberra. The buses feature free Wi-Fi, reclining leather seats, and USB charging ports, making it easy to work during the trip. Alternatively, renting a car allows you to drive the M31 Hume Highway and M23 Federal Highway at your own pace. If you choose to drive, a pit stop at the famous Trapper's Bakery in Goulburn is an absolute must for their signature chunky beef pies.

We stayed over Christmas and it was lovely for the kids. They were welcomed with gift packs full of mini-games, not just the normal colouring papers and pencils. They also have a Christmas workshop set up way before Christmas. The room was very nicely decorated with ample of space for crafting and small table for some drinks. The only downside was that many things had been used up and not refilled as the workshop opened a few weeks before Christmas. They also served milk in the workshop room, but I had concerns that the milk was there from the morning for the whole day and that it was not kept chilled, which might not be good for the kids to consume. The receptionists were very friendly.

Recently stayed at Hyatt Hotel Canberra and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The hotel strikes a great balance between old-world charm and modern comfort, with the heritage architecture giving the property a unique character that you simply do not get with many newer hotels. The rooms were spacious, clean and well maintained, and the overall atmosphere throughout the hotel felt calm, professional and relaxing. Staff were welcoming, attentive and genuinely helpful from check-in through to departure, which made the stay seamless. The location is also excellent, particularly for anyone travelling for business, government-related work or simply wanting easy access to Canberra’s key attractions and parliamentary precinct. A standout was the buffet breakfast, which offered a strong variety and quality selection. Overall, a very comfortable and enjoyable stay and I would happily return when next visiting Canberra.

Very clean, chic hotel with a popular restaurant and bar. It is conveniently located on Northbourne Avenue , Elouera St and Mort Street which is directly the line of Canberra's night clubs if you are coming on a weekend. There's only two sets of lifts for Hotel Clients which isn't a problem for an Asian ( moi) who is used to very crowded areas. But this can be a bit inconvenient for locals who are used to express service. Pool, gym, sauna. Major plus points. And the best part of all is the free bar fridge in the room. (Not sure if it was a promotion but my friend and I could drink all of what was offered for free!) We didnt because we are massive alcohol fans. The only major downside is the 25 dollar parking fee. No, no no. You can raise the price a bit higher for the quality of rooms but it's a bit offputting to have that as an additional fee. Overall, a pretty great experience from service to aminities.

1. The location is great, right in the heart of Canberra city center, near Canberra Centre, making it convenient for both shopping and dining. There's a bus stop right downstairs, though it's a bit of a walk to the light rail station. 2. They offer triple rooms, which are perfect for families of three, and the price is reasonable. The per-person cost is quite acceptable for Australia. 3. The room was pretty clean, and the soundproofing was excellent, making it very quiet. 4. The front desk service was decent; they were willing to help with any issues. We were even allowed to check in early, before the official check-in time. However, you'll need some English proficiency, and occasionally the front desk staff isn't present. 5. The facilities are quite comprehensive, including a kitchen area and a fridge. But since the hotel has been open for a while, some of the in-room amenities show signs of age. 6. The windows don't open. 7. Slippers and toothbrushes aren't provided, and the shower gel and shampoo had a rather odd scent. 8. The duvet situation was still very strange: it's the kind where two sheets sandwich the duvet insert, which seems to be a common feature in Australian hotels.

Canberra is a beautiful city with virtually brand new streets and buildings. The bus station from Sydney to Canberra is right next to the Novotel, and it's just a few hundred meters walk to the Crowne Plaza. The hotel facilities are good, with a pool and gym. The room size is smaller than in China but larger than in Japan. The casino is right next to the hotel. I want to specifically talk about the service. When I arrived, they initially gave me a connecting room. Later, they switched me to a twin room. It made me feel like the front desk staff was a tour guide handling a** (rubbish/bad) tour group.

The location is fantastic! If you're taking a FlixBus, it's right next to the station, and also very close to the local bus stop and train station, making it super convenient to get anywhere. There are also plenty of different restaurants nearby, so you definitely won't go hungry – the only problem is deciding what to eat! (´▽｀) Although the hotel isn't brand new, and the water sometimes cuts out briefly when showering at night, it has all the necessary facilities and a great location, so I'd still highly recommend it.

I came here for a career fair, and needed somewhere cheap to stay overnight so I can my bus back to Sydney the next day. I found Little Drifter the perfect location for my stay, and the price is right. Upon check-in I was given a URL to a webpage where I can remotely open the room I was assigned. not super ideal since if my phone died, I can't access my room. Nevertheless, I paid $8 for a rental towel and got to room where I had the whole room to myself. I initially thought that I had roommates because the other beds were still messy as the cleaners didn't clean them up, but my bed was cleaned. The washrooms were clean, but I had a problem with the hot water from the shower where it would periodically run out and blast cold water on me, then it would slowly get hot again. This happened to me for my whole stay which was quite annoying since I had to constantly adjust the water temp and move myself away from the freezing water. Otherwise, I had a fantastic stay and would happily stay here again upon my next visit.

Although check-in time ends at 8pm and we arrived a little after 8 on a long weekend, the concierge was still there so we were able to check in smoothly. If we arrived closer to 9pm, our keys would be stored in a lock box outside with a PIN code sent to our phone for entry instructions. Our 2 Bedroom Apartment was incredibly spacious. We had generous storage, a large living room and dining area. The kitchen had a full sized fridge, a microwave and full sized dishwasher. Both bedrooms had a large integrated study desk, and en-suite. There was a fully equipped laundry in another room connected to the ensuite of one of the bedrooms. They were both master rooms with king sized beds. Inside the lobby there’s a free coffee and hot chocolate machine. There were multiple vending machines for drinks and snacks too, The hotel has free parking and is 100m walk via the parking lot to a shopping centre and dining precinct. The hotel is less than 10mins from the Canberra Arboretum. Really good location, facilities and staff were great. The hotel is low rise but very large with multiple wings and buildings. While we (2 friends) only stayed for 1 night we would love to stay here again in future. This apartment would also be suitable for longer term stays particularly for those needing to go to Canberra for a work trip or a family trip. Checkout at 10am was quick and we could purchase pre-packed to-go breakfast for $10 which was very handy for those needing to head home early on a long weekend road trip. We helped ourselves to free takeaway coffees at the lobby. Only negative is while the apartment is clean, it needs a deep clean for some areas missed.

The hotel is located to the north west of the city centre. Though it is a bit far from the city it is quite convenient, there’s a supermarket (woolies) nearby. Parking is difficult but they provide parking for extra fee per night with unlimited in and out. The hotel is clean, quiet, comfortable and sufficient for our travel purpose to attend an event nearby. I like the double beds (two separate beds) option but this type of room only comes with a disable-friendly bathroom. I wish their double beds are bigger in size and they have a regular bathroom option with a bathtub.

The environment is nice and quiet, the rooms are relatively clean and tidy, the daily necessities provided are relatively complete, and the price is relatively high. The only drawback was that there was a problem with the water heater in the room at that time. There was always no hot water in the bath, but it was reflected to the front desk, hoping to resolve it as soon as possible.

Haha, this hotel definitely requires a bit of an adventurous spirit to stay at! It was built in 1926, so it's celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. In the lobby restaurant, there's a very old manual plug-in switchboard. The hotel's past life probably wasn't as a hotel; it gives off more of a government archives vibe 😂. The room facilities are a bit dated, especially the carpet, but there's a certain echo of the 1950s. The bathroom is quite small, and the shower area, in particular, seems like it would be a squeeze for anyone a bit larger. Canberra gets really cold, so it was a thoughtful touch that the hotel provided extra blankets. Overall, I think you need to have a bit of a nostalgic appreciation to truly enjoy this kind of hotel. The service, however, was quite good.

Location in a lovely garden setting was perfect and parking out front of the hotel was easy and convenient. Very quiet at night. Room (Superior King) was large, well set out and had lots of windows. Bed was extremely comfortable. Only negative was that a queen sized doona was on the king bed, which left it a bit on the small side. Bedding and pillows were all excellent of good quality. Staff were friendly,although when we asked for the doona to be replaced with a larger one, we were told upon returning to the hotel later that it had been done. It had not. The main downside of this well-kept and attractive hotel is that there is no food or bar facilities, although they provide links to nearby cafes and other eateries.

There were also Japanese, Italian, pub food, and other Asian restaurants in that area. Parking usually costs $25 per night for guests, but thanks to a Trip.com perk, I only paid $10 a night, which was great! You can't reserve parking, but there was plenty of space, so I had no issues. The breakfast menu was pretty much the same every day, which was a bit disappointing, but there was still a good variety and plenty of food.

I stayed at the Ibis Budget Canberra. It's a bit far from the city center, but easily accessible by car or bus, and the affordable price is a big plus. The room, though compact, was clean and perfectly adequate for a short stay. The staff were friendly, and check-in was smooth. There are restaurants and a supermarket nearby, making it easy to pick up anything you need. I'd especially recommend it for backpackers, student travelers, or solo travelers looking to save on accommodation costs. It's a convenient base for exploring Canberra and I felt it offered great value for money. I would definitely consider staying here again if I have the chance.

Best Attractions in the Capital

Canberra is intentionally designed, meaning the major cultural institutions are clustered conveniently close to each other, largely around the Parliamentary Triangle. Here is exactly what should be on your itinerary:

  • Australian War Memorial: Widely considered one of the most profound and immersive museums in the world. Entry is entirely free, but you must book a timed ticket online before you arrive. Stay for the moving Last Post Ceremony which occurs at 4:55 PM daily.
  • Parliament House: Located prominently on Capital Hill, you can wander the public galleries, view the iconic Magna Carta, and ride the elevator up to the grass-covered roof for panoramic views of the entire city layout.
  • National Gallery of Australia: Home to Blue Poles by Jackson Pollock and the stunning Aboriginal Memorial. General admission is free, though special international exhibitions usually require a paid ticket (around AUD $20 / MYR 57).
  • Lake Burley Griffin: The sparkling centerpiece of the city. Rent a scooter or an electric boat to cruise the water. A bridge-to-bridge walk takes roughly an hour and is highly popular among locals at sunset.

Conclusion

Mastering the journey from Sydney to Canberra ultimately comes down to aligning your schedule with the right transit option. Whether you are unwinding on the scenic NSW TrainLink, keeping it cheap on Murrays Coaches, or maximizing your day with a rapid Qantas flight, commuting between these two iconic cities is easier than ever.
