Getting around

By rail

By air

From the airport, you can (1) catch /get out of the Airport Express (No. 100) bus, which (2) runs / takes 25 minutes to the city centre. Alternatively, you can (3) miss / take a taxi. The advantage of this is that the taxi driver can (4) drop/arrive you wherever you like, but of course it is more expensive than public transport.

If you (5) arrive / catch by train, (6) drop /get off at Waverley Station, which is right in the city centre. From there, you can (7) walk / get on to most of the major sights.

A good way to get to know the city is with a city bus tour. You can buy special tickets for the double-decker buses which allow you to (8) get in / get on and off when and where you want. In the evenings, the buses (9) run / take late, but if you (10) get out of / miss the last one, you can always take a taxi.
