class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to get to Scenic World in the Blue Mountains?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scenicworld.com.au\/\">Scenic World<\/a> is less than two hours from Sydney it&#8217;s incredibly easy to get to. You can self-drive from Sydney or surrounding suburbs with free undercover parking on site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Public transport &#8211; Catch the train from Central Station to Katoomba Station, then catch the Blue Mountains Explorer bus to Scenic World.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tour companies &#8211; Multiple companies offer day trips to the Blue Mountains with some including entry to Scenic World and transportation from Sydney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"753\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fourwornsoles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/received_816637026976543.jpg\" alt=\"Three Sisters\" class=\"wp-image-5654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fourwornsoles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/received_816637026976543.jpg 753w, https:\/\/www.fourwornsoles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/received_816637026976543-226x300.jpg 226w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 753px) 100vw, 753px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>$$$$      Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/t.cfjump.com\/88014\/t\/84290?Url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.backpackerdeals.com%2faustralia%2fblue-mountains\">Backpacker Deals<\/a> for a great deal and receive 5% off when you use the code &#8211; <strong>FWS5<\/strong>       $$$$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When is the best time to visit Scenic World or the Blue Mountains?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For Scenic World I would allow at least two hours. Which is more than enough time to do the Skyway, Cableway and Railway as well as time to enjoy the walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus if you choose your time well you will probably be able to do the Skyway, Cableway and Railway a few times. So choosing a time and a day is key as it can get very busy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that in mind, try to avoid visiting during school holidays or public holidays. And when visiting during the week try getting there when it opens as school groups start arriving around lunchtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the Blue Mountains in general, they can be enjoyed year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"753\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fourwornsoles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/received_862376215640178.jpg\" alt=\"Three Sisters Blue Mountains\" class=\"wp-image-5644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fourwornsoles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/received_862376215640178.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.fourwornsoles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/received_862376215640178-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fourwornsoles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/received_862376215640178-768x578.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Spring (September to November) is probably the best time to visit as the weather is the most comfortable. But Autumn (March to May) is also a lovely time to visit, as you will see all the leaves change colour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What else is there to do in the Blue Mountains?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With so much to see and do in the region, the Blue Mountains can be explored (quickly) during a day or leisurely over a few. With plenty of bush walks, hikes, waterfalls and scenic lookouts to satisfy nature lovers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lots of cute and quaint towns to visit (Leura, Katoomba, Wentworth Falls to name a few) for yummy eats at cafes, handicrafts and antiques at the markets and shops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or exploring the many cave systems &#8211; Jenolan, Red Hands, Mermaid, Cox and Bushranger&#8217;s.
