Sydney Harbour Bridge

The Sydney Harbor Bridge is an absolute must-visit attraction when in Australia. This iconic steel arch bridge is not only an engineering marvel but also a stunning work of art that offers breathtaking views of the city. As I walked across the bridge, I was struck by its sheer scale and grandeur. The bridge's majestic arches and towering pylons are awe-inspiring, and the views of the Sydney Opera House, the harbor, and the city skyline are simply spectacular. The Sydney Harbour Bridge is also steeped in history and culture. The bridge has been an iconic symbol of Sydney since its completion in 1932, and it's played a significant role in the city's development and growth. Overall, my experience at the Sydney Harbour Bridge was unforgettable. Whether you're interested in history, engineering, or simply want to take in the stunning views, the Harbour Bridge is a must-visit attraction. Highlights include a breathtaking views of the city and harbour, engineering marvel and iconic symbol of Sydney, Bridge Climb experience is exhilarating and rewarding, steeped in history and culture. Book the Bridge Climb experience in advance to secure a spot, take a guided tour to learn more about the bridge's history and engineering, visit at sunset or twilight for the most spectacular views, and don't forget your camera to capture the stunning views and memories!

After visiting the Rock Area Market with my family on the weekend, I walked all the way to the Harbour Bridge. We walked across the whole bridge and saw the ferry shuttle under the bridge, overlooking the Sydney Opera House. It was a very happy experience.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge has a considerable height, making it ideal for those who enjoy a long walk. It offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the entire Sydney skyline, making the experience truly unforgettable.

Iconic landmark in central Sydney. Great distance views from Barangaroo Reserve or Amy of the water ferries out of the Circular Quay. Get a unique perspective and learn the history of the bridge from the Pylon Lookout (on the South side, you need to approach the Pylon from the bridge pedestrian walk way which you can access from Cumberland Street). It is a bit of a climb up staircases inside the Pylon but great views from the top (there is a charge). More adventurous can actually climb up the bridge arch.

A monumental bridge, a symbol of Sydney and Australia, innovation and resilience, a gateway to most beautiful harbours in the world. Walk on it, ride on it, travel by train on it with stunning views of harbours and most importantly Sydney Opera House. A must visit place to experience the spectacular New Year’s Eve celebrations at 9pm and 12am on 31st December, an unforgettable event with technical brilliance

Walking across the Sydney Harbour Bridge you can get amazing views of the city, ferries, and the Sydney Opera House. If you are using the regular walkway, then it is free and open to the public. A tall safety railing/fencing is along the entire walkway, but there is a big enough gap between the wall and fencing to let you have an unobstructed view and take some photos. For those not afraid of heights, there is a paid walk that allows people to climb/walk across the top of the bridge.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Sydney Harbour Bridge is nothing short of spectacular! The views from the bridge are absolutely breathtaking, offering a stunning panorama of Sydney's skyline, the iconic Opera House, and the beautiful harbor. Whether you choose to walk, cycle, or drive across, each experience is unique and unforgettable. The surrounding area is perfect for leisurely strolls, picnics, or just soaking in the vibrant atmosphere. It's a must-visit for anyone in Sydney, providing a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. Don't miss the chance to capture some amazing photos! Highly recommend this iconic landmark for both locals and tourists alike!

Did the walk over the bridge, it was busy as expected but quite a pleasant walk! Great views and a nice breeze to keep cool during the humidity.

Absolute must see when visiting Sydney! On our first day in Sydney, we tried walking across the bridge, but couldn't find the entry point. Luckily, Sydney is amazingly safe and the people were friendly and helpful to guide us on our route. The security guards patrolling the Harbour Bridge instructed us to walk up the stairs on 100 Cumberland St, The Rocks NSW 2000, Australia. From the stairs, crossing the bridge took about 25 - 30 minutes. Several of those minutes, we paused to take photos of the Sydney Opera House from the Pylon Lookout. One of the security guards was kind enough to take photos of us. I recommend wearing a coat or jacket as it was cold and windy during our walk. After making our way across the bridge from Cumberland St, we ended up on 21 Broughton St and walked a few more minutes to check out Luna Park. If you're not up for the walk back, there's a ferry from Luna Park - Milsons Point Wharf that can take you back to Circular Quay.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is another iconic landmark in the Sydney's skyline. Known as the "Coathanger" due to its distinctive shape, this bridge is a massive steel structure and is impressive up close and picturesque from a distance. The bridge is a marvel of engineering and a must-see for visitors.

Duplicate review, also see Bridge Climb. 5 star review, if it was not for the price... Yelp check-in, see picture; but it was not for the Harbor Bridge... Quality/Quantity - Okay, it looks like I am missing most of my pictures, sorry. (Good news, found some of my pictures, see Bridge Climb Review.) Very organized, same price if you paid in person versus online. Since we have been hanging out in this area almost daily, we decided to go with the online registration. Smooth and easy. Plenty of time slots. Prepay for your pictures, it saves you $5AUD; not that it makes much of a difference out of the $750AUD we spent. The climb itself is NOT scary, even if you are afraid of heights; I am not. Really safe. If you have done the treetop obstacle courses, the safety systems are similar. Super windy today 40km, but still no problem with the climb. Several options (5), we choose the one that spent the most time on TOP of the bridge. Lots of phone moments, YES they are super strict and will double check that you are NOT bringing anything against their policies. We even took breathalyzer tests, walked through metal detectors, etc. They have free secure lockers for all your belongings and clothes. Atmosphere - Free wifi. Small museum/visitor center to share the history of the bridge. Very small cafe & gift shop. Street parking, we have been using public transportation and Uber. Service - 5 stars, from the people that checked us in to our wonderful funny tour guide. Many different promotions & packages; see website. Too bad none of them applied to us. Obviously no bathrooms once the climb starts. There were one or two water breaks during the climb. At the end of the tour, you get an opportunity to buy your pictures. Our tour guide did a better job with our pictures than expected. Approximately 35 pictures for both of us! Minimum health and safety requirements, see website. Price - $750AU, $502US. Expensive, but just like the Blue Lagoon in Iceland, you just need to DO it. :) LOL. Owner Comment - Thank you, glad we did it even at your prices. Actually, I think it is a genius business idea to generate $$ towards the bridge, etc.

We climbed the many many, too many stairs, up to the bridge, and then walked across it, and a few hours later we walked back across to our ship. Is quite the workout, but the views are spectacular.

This is a great landmark in Sydney. The climb is famous but very expensive. I am also not a fan of heights so I will pass. The view is amazing from the Opera House and the circular Quay walk/shop area.

This iconic bridge can be seen from the Opera House and there are lots of ways to get photos of it. I highly recommend taking one of the harbor ferries so you can go underneath because one thing you might not otherwise see is the Aboriginal Flag which flies on top.

This was a trip I would never forget. Straight out of high school, post graduation, I saved up to go to Sydney to visit family and my boyfriend at the time. My ex surprised me with tickets to the sunset Sydney Bridge Climb experience. I had been a fan of the Amazing Race and briefly mentioned that the teams got to climb the bridge. I was happily surprised when we got there. I was only told to bring a pair of comfortable, close-toed shoes. You go with a group of people from all over the world and introduce yourself and say where you're from. There's a bit of a training on how to chain yourself to the bridge, similar to rock climbing. You also sign a waiver and take a breathalyzer test prior to the climb. Once you start, you fall in line and attach to the bridge and take all the stairs up halfway with a breathtaking view of the harbour and Sydney Opera House. We watched the sun set and took a group and individual photos at the top. It's really not scary. I felt secure. However, if you're afraid of heights, this isn't the excursion for you. I'd say it's a once in a lifetime experience, but I wouldn't mind doing it again. It's perfect for a marriage proposal ;) Our group thought we were, but no. Not at 18 years old. Lol. We also went on New Year's Eve, and the fireworks off the bridge are beautiful. The heart beat faster as it got closer to midnight, and then the fireworks went off. There are also boats with lights on the harbour.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a steel arch bridge connecting the central business district in Sydney to the North Shore. The view of the bridge, the harbour, and the nearby Sydney Opera House is an iconic image of Sydney, and of Australia itself. It is nicknamed "The Coathanger" because of its arch-based design, the bridge carries trains, cars, bicycles and pedestrian traffic. The bridge was designed and built by British firm Dorman Long of Middlesbrough, and opened in 1932. The bridge's general design is a rough copy of the Hell Gate Bridge in New York City. The enormous bridge has 134 m high arch, 103 m long span and the bulk of 53,000 tons of steel. This is the biggest steel arch bridge in the world stairs and lifts ascend the bridge from both shores leading to a set path on the eastern side, the western side has a bike path. We were able to walk across the bridge, walk under the bridge and we saw people wearing harnesses climbing the top of the bridge.

It is free to walk the bridge but you have to pay if you want to walk over the bridge or go up the towers.

#88 for 2021 The Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of those landmarks you want to see when you visit Australia. There are 2 says to walk across. Street level like normal pedestrians. Then there's walking up high on the arches. Wear a jacket it does get windy up there. My choice to marvel at the largest steel arch bridge in the world was by boat. It gave different perspectives to take pictures to try and get this in the best light possible. The bridge officially opened in 1932 after 8 years of construction, 53K tons of steel and 6 million hand driven rivets. I wonder if there's going to be a big celebration on its' centennial anniversary?

It was beautiful. The architecture of the skyscrapers were all unique. No two looked that much alike. I visited in July during the Vivid nights festival and the bridge and other parts I'd the dhytu. was beautifully lit up

Absolutely a beautiful bridge that is an iconic image of Sydney! Locally know as the coat hanger, for the way it looks. This was one of the first things I saw coming into Sydney, it becomes a point of reference traveling around downtown. I found myself in the harbour near the Opera House facing the bridge everyday... breathtaking views. I made sure to get many different viewpoints of this bridge, walking underneath it (as far as I could go) from the Rocks, enjoying drinks near the Opera House (amazing full view) To finally climbing the bridge (see other review) When walking across the bridge there are a lot of guards patrolling and willing to help out. A few of the Harbour ferry's have routes that take you under the bridge.

A must do when in Sydney, walk over on the Eastern side, 1.6km across and you have elevators at each end. On the north side a great village awaits, Kirribilli with a great pub and cafes. On the southern side you are at the historic Rocks leading into downtown. If you are cycling then the western side has a cycle only path across. All in all a great icon to walk across.

Definitely walk or run across! I enjoyed watch the sunrise over the Harbour from here. Amazing!

I'm really, really, really afraid of heights so it was hard for me to agree to do the bridge walk. Mind you, I'm talking about the standard walk across the footpath, not the crazy climb that costs like $300 and several years of your life. We started at the far end of the bridge and walking back which gives you amazing city and opera house views. If you want to do this, take the ferry to the definitely-not-haunted Luna Park stop and walk uphill to the path. Once you're on the bridge you'll be amazed at what you can see. Even though I was generally terrified the whole time, it was beautiful and a pleasant, easy walk. If you enjoy higher heights you can climb up the south pier for $20 and get even better views. The Mister did just that and grabbed some amazing photos that I enjoyed seeing later when I was not several hundred feet in the air.

It's nit cheap but it's a bucket list to do. If you're from the US, EU, UK, it's approx 30-35% less retail or Aussie prices. 3 hours and they provide everything.

So beautiful and majestic. I live the clean lines. It is so wonderful to look at. I have crossed many bridges around the world. This is one of the most awesome.

Site to see for days when in Sydney! An emblem with the opera house that surely can't be missed - whether looking there, dropping by or taking a stroll along the many paths that leads to the view of this beauty! You can walk on it - I discovered! Cool. It's catchy at night when this bridge is glowingly lit!

So beautiful! Worth a visit in the day and in the evening when the bridge is lit up! Unfortunately I didn't have time to walk across or do the famous bridge walk, maybe I'll tackle these the next time I'm in Sydney!

Another iconic structure of Sydney in all its glory. The bridge is huge and you can view it from the marina or the Opera House. Walk across the bridge in a gated fenced in area right beside traffic. You can also climb on top of the bridge if you dare, for an amazing 360 view of the Sydney Harbor on both sides. We walked the bridge and it was windy enough to knock you over; the bridge climb is definitely not for the faint of hearts! Spectacular view of the Opera House from the middle of the bridge! Awesomely lit at night and makes an important part of the Sydney skyline!

IT'S AN ICONIC LANDMARK ! The Sydney Harbour Bridge was designed and built by British firm Dorman Long of Middlesbrough and opened in 1932. The view of the bridge, the harbour and the nearby Sydney Opera House is widely regarded as an iconic image of Sydney and of Australia itself. Nicknamed "The Coathanger" because of it's arch-based design, the bridge carries rail, vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic. It is the eighth longest spanning-arch bridge in the world and the tallest steel arch bridge, measuring 134 m ( 440 ft ) from top to water level. THOSE ARE THE FACTS ! Back in early 1976 I made the drive from Brisbane to Sydney ( about 600 miles ) and ended up at Kings Cross ( a Red Light District ). At some point I remember paying a toll to cross over the Sydney Harbour Bridge....driving around in Sydney for the first time was very confusing. I was having lunch with a female friend at Darling Harbor in 1991 and I could see the bridge not too far way....it dominates Sydney Harbour ! When my wife and I flew from Adelaide to Sydney for the 2001 NRL Rugby League Grand Final we drove over the bridge....it's more fun to see the bridge than drive over it. Whenever you are in Sydney make sure you check out this beautiful bridge !

Two words: bridge climb. The coolest thing I did in Sydney. I'd highly recommend the bridge climb at night. The entire city is lit up and reflecting in the water. It's expensive yes, but one of the most memorable activities you'll ever experience. Our tour guide was very knowledgable and taught us amazing facts and stories the entire way up. The entire trip was about two hours and there were also three photo stops on top of the bridge, which was nice. You wear a full body suit and are attached by two ropes. It sounds like it'd be scary to be so high up on a bridge, but it's not at all. The walkway is so wide and solid, there's no fear of falling or heights. This bridge is beautiful and definitely worth at least walking across if you can't do the bridge climb!

If you've seen photos of Sydney, they've probably been of the harbor and most likely the opera house. But probably also of this bridge. When it was constructed in 1932! it was the tallest/widest/fanciest, and even though it is no longer some of those things. It's still a pretty nice bridge that is well kept up and if you're a pedestrian there are even some nice guard type people patrolling...probably making sure we aren't jumpers or something. The cars go in the middle and pedestrians are on the opera side of the car bit. Cyclists are on the opposite side. The bridge affords great views and even when it's warm, there are great breezes. You can climb a tower on the pedestrian side closest to the Rocks; it costs about $20aud and is only 200 steps... I did not participate. Or you can pay beaucoup bucks to climb the bridge which is perhaps too athletic for me. As I was staying across the harbor I walked across the bridge a couple of times to enjoy the views and the breezes

Hanging here you can hangout, hang ten or hang your coat I'm told. To the locals this iconic bridge is known as the Coat Hanger. I purposely tapped off public transportation at the far end so I can walk from one iconic landmark to the next. From high above looking out the plane window this bridge is easy to recognize. While on the ground you've got options. Drive on it, walk on it, climb it or take a selfie next to it. Either or while in Sydney you will come into view with it. It's got character. If you choose to climb it. You will have one of the best selfies with the world famous Opera House in your background. Should you accept the challenge it's 10% off kisses. That part cracks me up ha!

I love our Harbour Bridge. :) From the city to the north it's free but going over it into the city of Sydney there is a toll when driving. You can climb it. Walk it. Drive it. Bus it. Train it. Run it. Bike it. Get in it Get on it. Go over it and go under it. Lot's of history and great views along the way. During our special occasions fireworks are let off from it. Or it may be used for some of the biggest promo's of celebrities ... eg Oprah and her big O. What ever the case... You won't come to sydney without taking a selfie with it or a picture with it and our great emerald harbour.

A great walk over the bridge and some fantastic eateries in Kirribilli on the other side. Some of our group wanted to do the bridge climb, but the $200 fee seemed steeper than the bridge or their desire to climb it. The $13 charge to climb the bridge tower seemed more affordable, so we did that instead and enjoyed the fantastic views from the observation deck on the tower.

Food: N/A Service: N/A Cleanliness: 5/5 Decor & Style: 5/5 There's a reason this harbor bridge is one of the most picturesque places on Earth! It's just gorgeous! Need I say more? Look at the million pictures on Yelp and online!

For those who don't want to spend the time, or enormous cost, on BridgeClimb Sydney, the Sydney Harbour Bridge Pylon lookout is the next best alternative. This was really a museum and and a lookout point wrapped into one. As I climbed the stairs inside the pylon, I received a history lesson on early Sydney, learned about the bridge construction and methods, and even saw models and examples of actual equipment used. At the top of the stairs, I was rewarded with a fantastic 360-degree vantage of the harbour and other Sydney landmarks. Cost was AU$13, or about 5% the cost of BridgeClimb. Five stars for that!

You can't miss this bridge when visiting Sydney. It's right there by the Opera House. It's beautiful to look at. One day, I want to come back to Sydney and do the bridge climb...looks like fun!

Beautiful! The Sydney Harbour Bridge along with the opera house is the most identifiable part of not only Sydney but Australia. Great to observe and take in the architecture as well as getting some cool shots.

The coat hanger! That's what the Aussies call it apparently given it's resemblance to a coat hanger and given their collective sarcastic wit. Very cool to admire this from a boat ride or from afar. Next time I have to do the bridge climb even if it is expensive.

You know those things that you just can't explain because they take your breath away and are even better than the photos? That's the Harbour Bridge. It's the perfect background for all of your photos in the city Centre. It's the best way to get some of the best views of Sydney. It's just beautiful!

Nicknamed the "Coathanger," because of its arch-bridge design, the Sydney Harbor Bridge stands out as one of the most significant of any harbor sights in the world. The harbor itself, with its opera house and shore line developments is a magnificent sight to see, since I usually arrive by ship...I've come to detest the overcrowded crap of present day airline travel...., it's the high level 440 feet from top to water level bridge that first catches my eye. Complete with the last rivet being pounded in 1932, having 28 panel arch-trusses and span of1,654 feet it's a stand out as well as a landmark amongst the great bridges of the world. Best off, you can cross it by foot, bicycle, car or rail and the views from it down to the harbor are nothing sort of being awe-inspiring.

This is not a over-the-bridge walk review since I didn't do it and there is a separate review landmark for that. The bridge is iconic alongside the Sydney Opera House and you can not only walk across normally, over it, but also below it in The Rocks area. The bridge is a great backdrop for pictures.

We spent a full day enjoying the bridge and area around it. Three I our group made the bridge climb-very easy, almost anyone could do it provided heights aren't an issue. If you are like me a prefer something just a little sturdier under you, then do the climb inside one of the bridge piers (around 200 steps) - easy walk up, 5 minutes-and views almost as good as those up on the bridge. And, unlike the bridge climb, you can bring your camera and take all the pictures you want.

If you're spending vacation time in Sydney, you'll likely see the Opera House. And by default, you'll see the Harbour Bridge too. Those two iconic structures go hand in hand. There are three options to see Sydney Harbour from the bridge: walk along the bridge (free), take the stairs to the top of the Pylon Lookout (around $13), or actually climb the bridge ($200+). Initially, I wanted to climb the bridge because it's a rare, yet amazing opportunity. But the hefty $200+ price tag deferred my decision, and it also seemed ridiculous that the entire climb (breathalyzer test, suiting up, climbing, photos) takes up to 3 hours. If you climb the bridge, you climb mainly for the experience. The view is very similar (with slightly different angle) from the top of the bridge and from the middle of the bridge span by foot. Otherwise, the Harbour Bridge is still a lovely structure to admire, whether you are on it or not.

Visiting Sydney without seeing the Harbour Bridge would be blasphemous! The bridge itself is astounding and massive. You can pay to do the bridge climb, which I didn't do, but it was neat seeing the little specks of people making their way across the bridge. The area surround the bridge is also worth a visit!

I am totally amazed at this engineering masterpiece every time I travel under, over or around it. It joins the north side of Sydney with the CBD and the surrounding suburbs. In recent times thrill seekers love to have that guided tour up to the top of the bridge...the scenery is majestic as many have stated. Cars, buses and the trains cross the bridge continually. There is a pedestrian walkway also, but the fencing is fairly high to see clearly the surrounding scenery. If you are a commuter to the city and travel by car...always listen to the radio of a morning to hear if there is a problem on the bridge. If there is avoid!!

Awesome looking site, do the bridge climb BUT do the TWILIGHT bridge climb. It will cost you around $80 more but will well worth the other climbs!!! Climbs are well informed, staff great, preparation and whole process is very safe and not even felt uncomfortable not even a second.

If you're a tourist, walking across here is a must. It gives you great views of the harbour, is very safe to walk on (thanks to the guards that patrol the bridge), and the bridge is iconic. Why the heck not? Also, you can do the bridge climb on TOP of the bridge. I heard it was worth it; I had already spent tons on my heli-snorkel experience in the Great Barrier Reef so I opted out, but I recommend it if you have the money for it!

The iconic Sydney bridge is gorgeous and a must visit spot. Options: + Walk across it *for free* and it's about 15-20 minutes of your time. It's a pleasant walk and gorgeous views all around. + Take a train across it and see the view from the train. Good option if it's too hot outside, if it's raining, or if you just want to do a one-way walk. + Do the Harbour Bridge Climb. It's pricey but everyone I know who has done it has recommended it as a must do adventure. Scrappy Tourist Recommendation: Take the train to Milson's Point from Town Hall or wherever you are. Visit Luna Park. It's free to walk in and venture around. It only costs money to go on rides. The view of the bridge from Luna Park is gorgeous. If you want a swim, sun tan or view the swimmers with the background of the bridge, go to the pool by the park and pay a small fee. Once you're done, head towards the bridge entrance near the Milson Point train station. It's a pleasant walk and ends at the Rocks district on the other side, which is a great touristy spot as well.

Nov 18, 2016 Back from business trip. After, I got out from the train station. Took me about 30 mins "what seem to be a short walk turn out to be a long one" because I didn't know where I was going. Used google map. So, I end up walking under the bridge and found out I have to walk up the hill and a short walk over the bridge. Paid about AUS$13 at the cashier on my way into pylon to the top. "it was quite a step up" but it did took my breath away, with a short rest and I was on my way. Here are some of the stuff I captured.

Awesome bridge, that you can climb over! I don't know anywhere else in the world where you can do that. Yes, it's expensive, but, if you want to spend just $13 you can go up halfway on a pillar. Also book on weekdays to save money! I'll be crossing over the top soon, and I'm excited!

***Top Tip*** -I have done the bridgeclimb, the pylon lookout and just walked across the bridge. In my opinion, just walking across the bridge is just fine and free. Take a train to Milsons Point and then walk back over bridge to the rocks/Circular Quay.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge, in its beautiful harbour location, is a renowned international symbol of Australia. You cannot come to Sydney and not visit and take pictures of the bridge. Its amazing arch structure is beautiful. This bridge carries rail, vehicles, bicycles and pedestrian traffic. You can even book a tour to walk the arch of the bridge. I wanted to do this tour but 2 reasons deterred my husband and I from doing it. Reason 1) I was 25 weeks pregnant and my husband didn't really want to do this with me being pregnant. I was all game for it. I thought it would be an amazing experience. Reason 2) We talked to other people that looked into it and the cost was $350 per person AND you couldn't take cameras or phones while you walked the arch. If this was true, what was the point. The whole idea would be to walk the arch and take pictures from high up, but once we heard this, this quickly changed our minds. My husband was already on the fence but for the price and no pictures it was an absolute no at that point. However, just being able to take pictures from the harbor was enough and a great experience.

The Sydney Harbour bridge is perhaps one of the 2 most recognized icons of Sydney. To locals it is known as the "Coat Hanger', for obvious reasons. It is perhaps not as iconic as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, but the neat thing about the bridge, being smaller and not as tall, is that you can take a hike up the bridge on a guided tour and get a great look at this beautiful city.

You absolutely cannot come to Sydney and not see the Harbour Bridge - it's too big to miss, and you'd be crazy to want to miss it. There are beautiful views of the bridge from many locations around Sydney Harbour, although my favourite was from Blues Point Reserve (which seems to be less of a tourist trap than some of Sydney's other spots). The contrast of the man-made bridge and the natural harbour is beautiful, and it's well worth a visit to the Pylon Lookout and museum to learn more about the structure's history, if you have time. Driving over the bridge itself is also an experience, affording for some interesting views when you look upwards as you pass under the cantilevered structure. The road section of the bridge does feel very industrialised, with chain link fences obscuring the view over the harbour - but I guess this is a necessary safety precaution. I absolutely loved the Harbour Bridge all round, and thoroughly recommend visitors to Sydney taking some time to explore it.

This probably deserves a 5 stars except I went on the windiest day possible and during rush hour, so it wasn't the best experience. I would recommend either sunrise or sunset for some amazing skyline photo ops. If you have time and money, the Bridge offers a climb that will set you back around 3 hours and $200. But if you're on a budget, you can just do the pedestrian walk like I did and walk from the Rocks up to North Sydney for free! It's about a 25 min fast walk without taking any photos, but I definitely did and it took about 40 minutes total. On the North Sydney side, there are plenty of restaurants to eat at and it'll be a nice pit stop before heading back toward Sydney's central business district. Or if you want to go up the Pylon Tower at the ends of the bridge, that costs only$13. As one of the most iconic structures in Sydney, the bridge offers some of the best views of the city and the Sydney opera house from a different angle. Check out my pictures! I highly recommend it as a tourist!

I walked across the bridge with my girlfriend and it took us about 15-20 minutes one way with stops for pictures. I'd recommend this for anyone to do at least once. The bridge climb goes to the top of the bridge but is very expensive, not worth it imo. I'd compare this to the Brooklyn Bridge.
