When you fly to Cairns Airport (CNS), you'll be about 3.5 miles from the city center. You can rent a car, take a cab, or ride the 121 bus to downtown.
A car rental may be your best bet if you want to relax on the northern beaches off of Highway 44. There are also other attractions further north like the Cairns Tropical Zoo near Palm Cove.
Sydney may be the most popular tourist destination in Australia, but locals will tell you that Cairns offers an experience all of its own. Located on the shores of the Trinity Bay, Cairns has been a jumping off point for tourists wanting to see the Great Barrier Reef for decades.
To the north of the city, you'll find pristine and sunny beaches like Trinity Beach or Ellis Beach. You can also take a walk on the wild side in the nearby Barron Gorge National Park.
The biggest attraction with the city of Cairns is the Esplanade, which stretches a full two miles along the shoreline. The Cairns Lagoon is located within the Esplanade and offers a warm and sunny locale for sunbathers.
There are also piers, boardwalks, trails, and flurry of shops and restaurants for you to meander through while on the Esplanade.
To the southwest on Shields Street, you'll find unique points of interest like the historical Cairns Museum and the artistic Cairns Regional Gallery.
Cairns itself is filled with budget hotels, motels, and hostels, many of which are located side-by-side on Sheridan Street.
