Getting Around

The Darwin bus network covers most of the attractions in the city and many of the routes run seven days a week, although there are reduced operating hours on Sundays and public holidays. Fares are on a zone system. Darwin also has a number of bicycle trails and from the city there are easy rides to picturesque destinations such as Fannie Bay or the Botanical Gardens. Taxis are available and are metered. However, central Darwin is small enough to get around on foot.
