Directions for your Sydney Airport taxi

Sydney International Airport is a recently renovated airport and is also the largest in Australia, serving a great number of international and domestic flights. So after landing in this bustling airport, your most convenient transfer option would be to take an airport taxi. To get from SYD to downtown Sydney, your driver will exit the airport complex and take the M1 from Airport Drive. They will then continue this road until they reach Shakespeare Place and take the exit “City NN”. From there, you will make your way into Sydney’s city centre.
