Sydney lookouts

There are two places in Sydney that give you great views of the city.

1. The harbour bridge is a great place to see the sights of Sydney from, whether it is just walking across the bridge or doing the bridge climb that goes to the very top of the arch. The bridge climb takes you 134m above the harbour.

2. Sydney Tower: The observation deck at Sydney tower gives you a 360 view of the city from the Opera house right out to the Blue Mountains. The tower is 250m above the ground and contains a restaurant and coffee lounge to help you soak in the view.

It is worth seeing the views of Sydney at different times such as dawn, dusk, during the day and at night. The lights of Sydney are fantastic at night.
