    You don't have to pay 200 Dollars for the view. Just walk over to Kirribilli! It's a 25 minute stroll and free. Start from Cumberland St at The Rocks. There's a stair with a sign that leads you up.

    Australia's greatest engineering marvel, the Bridge radically changed Sydney's geography and remains the city's most vital artery. Stunning from every angle, but don't miss seeing underneath

    From November 2012 to February 2013, I spent a fair bit of time in Sydney. I walked the Harbor Bridge everyday! Never got tired of the view. Don't take it for granted!

    Walk over the top of the bridge (Bridge Climb is $198 - $228 depending on the climb and time of year) or take the footpath across the bridge. Either way, this is a must if you are visiting Sydney.

    Stop at the fish n chips shop at kirribili for a cup of coffee, walk across the bridge, and take some time to visit the viewing point at the south pylon. It's just as epic as the Bridge Climb itself.

    The bridge was more interesting than the opera house. I think you can book tours to climb on the very top of the bridge. Pretty cool! We didn't have much time left when we found out though.

    If passing by on train, make sure to grab a seat in the upper part of the carriage so you can get a view of the habour & opera house!

    Walk over the bridge (away from downtown) and then go to Luna Park. Walk under the bridge for a great view of the back of the Opera House

    Look up at the flags on the top. My grandfather used to be boss from flags southbound for 20+ years. Visit the pylon museum to check out some historical stuff

    What can you say about the most iconic bridge in Australia. Look at it. Walk across it. Ride across it. All worthy experiences.

    Even if you are not going to climb it, you owe it to yourself to walk across the bridge and get a great view of Sydney and the Opera House.

    If you’re a walker/runner/cyclist, take the bridge over to North Sydney. Beautiful views and experience

    If you're on the train or bus, lift your head up, out of your smartphone/ipad and take a look. It's quite spectacular.

    One of the best ways to remind you that you live in Sydney. Ride, walk, drive or jog across it or jostle in early for a place underneath the Harbour Bridge for new year's eve

    If you're going to leave an engraved padlock attached to the bridge then make it's a strong one as they're regularly got rid of
