Sydney Harbour Bridge

Sydney has many iconic landmarks, but one of the most well-known and easily recognisable is the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Lovingly called the coat hanger by locals, the bridge links the north of Sydney to the city, overlooking the beautiful harbour below.

The harbour itself is always buzzing with activity between the speedboat rides, the ferry rides and those fortunate to have their own boats sailing around the scenic waters.

Whilst the bridge is predominately used by cars and the trainline, it also has a free walking path along the outside. This 15-20 minute walk will give you a brilliant view of Sydney Harbour, Luna Park and the city itself. Stop wherever you like to get a few quick snaps and save yourself on buying the postcards.

For an extra treat, check out the pylon lookout, a true hidden gem in Sydney that not even many locals know about. Climbing up the 200 steps to be 87 metres above sea level with an even better view than the bridge itself!

The pylon lookout is open 7 days from 10am to 5pm and although there is a cost it is minimal (maximum $15) and it completely worth the small cost.

If money is no worry for you, then you might also want to check out the harbour bridge climb, where you have the opportunity to join a group tour and climb up and over the top of the bridge. Although prices start from $158 this is an experience you will never forget!

Enjoy!
