Must do in Sydney - Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb

Sydney Harbour Bridge is the most photographed and picturesque landmark of Sydney. It is the world's tallest steel arch bridge measuring 134 metres. The bridge was opened on 19th March 1932. Sydney Bridge Climb is perfect for those who love heights and adventure and will definitely add a wow factor to your trip. Once you reach to the summit, you get 360 degree views of Sydney in its entirety including Sydney Opera House, city surrounds and even the Blue Mountains on a blue sky day. The bridge climb was introduced for the public in 1998. Your Harbour Bridge climbing experience will include high ladders and catwalks, prolonged stair climbing, uneven surfaces and narrow passageways, and exposure to all weather conditions. But it's not difficult at all - it is fun !


You will be led by Professional Bridge climbers in small groups. You can choose from the 3 guided climbs available that take you to the summit of this world famous Sydney Harbour Bridge. This experience takes about 3.5hrs to reach the to the top and return. The main thing to be considered while planning for the Sydney Bridge Climb is the timing. Climbs are available through out the day divided into 4 slots : Dawn, Day, Twilight and Night, with Twilight and Day being the most expensive and popular time slots.

Book well in advance to avoid disappointment by not being able to climb the bridge at the time of your choice.

You can find more details about the planning and formation of Sydney Harbour Bridge on Wikipedia.
