About
The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a steel arch bridge linking the north and south shores of Sydney Harbour in Sydney, Australia. Locals also know it as "The Coathanger", a nickname that fits its distinctive arch. It is one of the city's best-known landmarks, and for many visitors it is the first image they associate with Sydney.
What a visit offers
- Harbour views: The bridge commands wide views across the water, taking in the harbour and the city skyline on either side.
- Bridge climbing: Guided climbing experiences take visitors up the arch, giving a closer view of the structure and of the harbour below.
- Walking across: The crossing itself makes a simple way to see the water and the shorelines from above.
Around the bridge
Because the bridge joins two sides of the harbour, it works well as a starting point for exploring both. On the south side you are close to the city centre, and on the north side the harbour shore offers a different pace. Plan your time around the views you most want, and allow time to pause and take them in, particularly if you are visiting the harbour for the first time.
