Oceania Australia Sydney Top Things to Do BridgeClimb

Overview

BridgeClimb

The guide was updated: 2023-10-28

One of the most exciting ways to experience the Sydney Harbour Bridge is to climb to the top of it. Exhilarating and utterly unforgettable, BridgeClimb gives you the opportunity to walk to the summit of the bridge and enjoy one of the world's most spectacular views, 134 metres (440ft) above the water. Standing above Sydney Harbour — on the world's largest (but not longest) steel arch bridge — gives an incredible panoramic vantage point of the city, its harbour and waterways, and the dynamic lifestyle it affords locals and visitors alike.
