Sydney Harbour Bridge Guide

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of Australia's best known and photographed landmarks.

The iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge is the main crossing of Sydney Harbour carrying rail, vehicles and pedestrians between the Sydney central business district (South Shore) and the North Shore.

The dramatic water vista of the bridge together with the nearby Sydney Opera House is an iconic image of both Sydney and Australia.

The 75th anniversary was celebrated on March 18, 2007, known locally as the coat hanger because of its arch-based design shape.

Sydney Harbour Bridge was Sydney's tallest structure until 1967:
:: Widest long-span bridge in the world
:: Highest steel arch bridge (429.6 feet) above the harbour.
:: Fourth-longest spanning-arch bridge in the world.

Sydney Harbour Bridge Sightseeing

Beside obvious vantage points such as the Opera House, since 1998, the Bridge Climb has made it possible to climb the bridge.

Climbs and tours run throughout the day, from dawn to dusk as well as night climbs.
