The Sydney Harbour Bridge was opened and connecting the business district in Sydney to the Northern portion of Sydney in 1932.  This has become a main gateway across the Harbour, not only good for business and commerce but tourism as well, whether one is looking for adventure or luxury, Sydney hotel accommodations are plentiful no matter which side of the Harbour you decide to stay.  And now the Bridge has become a new hot spot for adventurous climbs or leisure walks.  Since its opening the bridge has been a major tourist attraction, due to the shear size of the structure, and due to the incredible architectural achievement that it is.

One of the ways in which to catch a birds’ eye view of the city, the wonder of the Sydney Opera House, and the Harbour is by taking a climb on the bridge.  A climb on the bridge will cost a bit of money, and you will not be allowed to take your own photos while you are up there, but staff on the bridge will take photos for you, however the photographs must be paid for, but if I were standing on top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge–I would definitely want a photo to bring home with me.

The climb will take you to the very top of the arches, which stand four hundred and thirty two feet about sea level.  There are many points of endurance to the Bridge when you are just wanting to talk a walk, and walks are free. A visit to the Center for Sydney Visitors will provide you with maps for the entrances.  Of course, as there is quite a bit less danger involved with simply walking across the bridge, you are able to take your own photos.  The Rocks-Milsons Point route will only take about thirty minutes to get from one side to the other, so its not a long walk, but if it is summer in Sydney,be aware of the heat, and that you will be walking through metal railings, a hat and appropriate shoes are a must.
