Getting here

  • Public transport is the best way to get around on New Year’s Eve with thousands of extra services running.
  • The closest station is Circular Quay but from 3pm trains will not be dropping off passengers. If you’re arriving after 3pm, use Wynyard train Station or Martin Place metro station and continue on foot.
  • Light rail services will run to Town Hall only from 2pm. Buses will relocate to Martin Place from 2pm and Hyde Park from 5pm. Continue on foot to the harbour via George Street.
  • Major roads in Circular Quay close from 2pm with some earlier morning closures in place. Plan ahead if catching taxis or rideshare. See road closure information.

Leaving

  • Pedestrian diversions will be in place on New Year’s Eve. The way you leave may be different to how you arrived. Be prepared for a longer walk to transport hubs.
