You can’t go to Sydney without making a visit to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Towering across Sydney Harbour, this bridge gives some pretty awesome views of Sydney… especially if you’re climbing over it! Get psyched to see the iconic Sydney Opera House, Darling Harbour, Bondi Beach and the Blue Mountains… to name a few. Choose to climb the bridge day or night to experience the city at sunset or in clear blue skies.
