This is one of Sydney's landmarks and one of the few large bridges in the world that you can climb!

The Sydney Harbour Bridge climb offers different options: daytime or twilight climbs, English or Chinese language tours, and inner arch or outer arch climbs. We chose the English daytime outer arch climb. Before climbing, the guide gives everyone very detailed safety instructions and movement techniques, and helps everyone put on safety equipment and headsets one by one. The guide was super enthusiastic, sharing the bridge's history throughout the journey and taking photos of everyone at designated photo points. At the first photo spot, you can already see the Sydney Opera House and the entire harbor below. Looking at the beautiful harbor and azure waters, I think even those afraid of heights would forget their fears. The sound of cars zooming below and the vibrations from passing trains make it a truly unforgettable experience. You can enjoy a unique view of the city from here. At the end, we received climbing certificates and free group photos. Of course, additional photos and videos cost extra - we purchased the full photo and video package for 60 AUD.
