Sydneysiders and visitors to Sydney are invited to catch a piece of history and make their own special memories by travelling on the Monorail before it\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n

After 25 years of service as one of Sydney\u2019s most iconic tourist attractions, the Sydney Monorail will be closing on 30 June this year.<\/p>\n

Opened in July 1988 as a Bicentennial gift to Sydney, the Monorail has become a \u2018must-see\u2019 and \u2018must-do\u2019 experience for visitors to the city. One of only a few city monorails in the world, it offers unrivalled views of Sydney and connects the city’s top shopping and hotels with Darling Harbour’s dynamic attractions.<\/p>\n

The 3.6 kilometre Monorail loop includes seven stations (Harbourside, Convention, Paddy\u2019s Market, World Square, Galleries Victoria, City Centre and Darling Park) which are located inside buildings, over freeways, at hotels and near a broad selection of the city\u2019s major tourist attractions. A ride on the Monorail offers the perfect combination of easy transport with an essential Sydney city experience.<\/p>\n
