Sydney Harbour Bridge

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is the second most visited Sydney attraction - after the Sydney Opera House. This is a bridge located on the Sydney Harbour, connecting the Central Business District (Sydney CBD) on the coast with the residential north sydney suburbs. The bridge offers a beautiful panoramic view of Sydney.

The Bridge was built over a period of eight years, from 1924 to 1932. Since its inception is has been regarded as one of the most beautiful harbours in the world and is the largest in the world. Dr. Bradfield was the one who designed the bridge and the English company Drom Long and Co. were responsible for its construction, which cost a little more than 4 billion pounds. The bridge was designed with 8 dedicated lanes for vehicles, two train lines and a path for cyclists and pedestrians. Do you know how many cars pass by here every day? No less than 161 thousand. Impressive!

The Sydney Harbour Bridge was built with steel arches and is the main highlight with the New Years Eve fireworks display. If you are able to travel to Sydney during this time of the year you will get the opportunity to take many excellent pictures of boats and the sea which are illuminated by fireworks. It’s really beautiful!

You can also enjoy an unforgettable experience doing the Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb. Climb to the summit of the bridge and get to know what it feels like to be 134 meters above the Sydney Harbour. If you are not afraid of heights it will be a fascinating ride. Choose to do the Bridge Climb during the daytime or night. Both climbs last about 3 ½ hours. Do not miss the opportunity to take dramatic panoramic pictures of the city including the Sydney Opera House, sea, mountains and the city port. You will feel like you are on top of the world!
