Sydney is Australia's most popular city for international tourists. Each year, around 2.7 million of them arrive at Sydney Airport. Traffic has become so heavy that there have been repeated requests for a second major airport in the popular tourist town.
As you may know, Australia is one of the most popular international destinations for residents of the UK. About 700,000 of them travel Down Under each year, and many of them end up in Sydney. But because it is such a long flight, around 24 hours, the average Australian vacation is also quite long.
Guests from the UK often stay in Australia between 10 and 14 days. Sometimes they spend that time in a single city, in the vast Australian Outback, or they move around a bit. The most popular flights in Australia are Sydney to Melbourne flights.
As we mentioned, Sydney is the main entry point for most tourists from the UK. But Melbourne is a close second when it comes to international guests with nearly two million arriving each year. Many of these tourists come directly from Sydney.
Why is this? For starters, Sydney is just an hour away by plane. Flights are efficient and affordable and depart about a dozen times each day. International tourists should always secure their seats a few weeks in advance for substantial cost savings.
