This article looks at the diverse range of options available in the 3 largest cities.

Just arrived and wondering how to get around? Public transport is your key: It is designed so you can live comfortably without a car from day 1 regardless of the personal circumstances — students, families, older adults, disabled travellers — you name it.

It's all based on accessibility and convenience. Low-floor buses, elevators, stroller spaces, audio announcements, digital tickets and integrated travel apps. 

Hop on!

Setting up electricity, internet and a mobile plan are some of the first practical tasks immediately after arriving. Try not to stress over it: it’s fast, digital and very flexible. 

We look at how you can get connected quickly while avoiding common money traps.

Moving to any new country can feel overwhelming because everything is new at the same time: money, food, apps, transport, habits. Sure, it’s exciting, but a lot of that excitement is adrenalin fueled, leading to anxiety build up and frustration/tears.

Instead of a long guide, you'll get clear next steps, and realistic expectations.
