Good to know

  • Stanley Market, Murray House and Stanley Plaza are all along the waterfront, a short walk from the bus stops.
  • The roads to Stanley are winding and get slow on sunny weekends and public holidays.
  • With big luggage, a taxi from Central or the airport can be easier than changing buses.
