Sydney Harbour Bridge has remained a major tourist attraction in the city of Sydney for over a century now.

It is an arch steel bridge across the Sydney Harbour that was built in 1932. It was built under the direction of Dr. John Bradfield and designed by the British firm Dorman Long and Co. Ltd. The Sydney Harbour Bridge is nicknamed the “Coat Hanger” due to its arch design. The bridge has original traffic lanes running across it and a bicycle track in the western side. It also has an additional two lanes of track that was used by trams eastern side and two railway tracks between the main roadway and bicycle path. The bridge is one of the most photographed places in Sydney and one of the most recognizable places in Australia. The bridge is famous for Sydney Harbour Bridge climb and hundred of people climb to the top of the bridge every day on the Sydney Harbour Bridge tour.

There is a tourist observation tower in the south pylon, and the bridge climb is one of the tourist attractions in Sydney.

Avina's 9 days trip to Sydney

5 star We recently returned from an incredible trip to Australia, all thanks to the amazing team at Wanderbird Holidays! From start to finish, the planning was seamless, with every detail thoughtfully handled by Raunak and the team. We enjoyed every moment, and it was so reassuring to have their consistent support and guidance along the way. The personalised recommendations for each city by Raunak, on top of the customised itinerary made by Meenakshi, made our experience even more amazing, and knowing they were just a call away during our travels gave us complete peace of mind. This was hands-down one of our best-planned vacations, and we can’t wait to book more adventures with Wanderbird Holidays. We’ve already recommended them to our family, and we’re confident they’ll love the experience just as much as we did!
