Sydney Harbour Bridge

Spanning the city center to the North Shore, the Sydney Harbour Bridge is a wide steel arch bridge known for its beauty as well as function, providing a crossing for cars, trains, bikes and pedestrians. While the more daring can do the BridgeClimb to the top of the structure, opened to traffic in 1932, anyone can enjoy a walk for free.

It really is an easy walk across on the footpath, takes maybe 20 minutes each direction. During the winter months, make sure you dress in layers as the winds can feel cold. Crossing over to Milsons Point, there are steps as well as an elevator to take you down to an area of cafes and restaurants, including a very decent coffee shop called the Kirribilli. Walk back towards the harbor and there are nice views towards the Opera House and Circular Quay. You can walk around the nearby Luna Park Amusement Park and take a ferry back to Circular Quay - going underneath the Harbour Bridge in the process. On the Circular Quay end of the bridge, you can go to the Pylon Lookout for spectacular views looking down on the harbour and the Opera House as well as great views of the city skyline. There is a charge, I believe it is 25 Australian Dollars for adults. I am over 65, and was able to get a concession rate by showing my US drivers licence. Note that the Lookout closes at 5pm, and there is no elevator / lift or escalator. You have to walk up 200 stairs, and it can be exhausting, but is so worth it..

What a surprise! In the midst of the glorious unspoiled scenery of Kangaroo Valley, we encountered a bridge with Victorian Gothic Revival crenellated turrets made of sandstone. Worth seeing, if only for the shock value.

BridgeClimb Sydney

Reviewed By SuzanneMcF - Philadelphia, United States

We weren't sure if this would be amazing or just touristy - well it was amazing. One in our group has a fear of heights - no debilitating, but it was a bit of a challenge for him - the guide was great and made sure he encouraged him and we stopped a few times to relax. Honestly though, it was best to keep moving. We did the Express Climb which gets you to the top without going across the entire arc which seemed best for those a bit nervous. It feels so much higher when you are up there - believe it to be about 40 stories - great fun, views and something to check off that bucket list!
