Harbour Bridge, Australia

From series “Breathtaking High-Altitude Observation Points with Panoramic Views on Cities”
Those who are tired of visiting standard lookouts, will be able to diversify the holiday in Sydney. The local Harbour Bridge is one of the largest arch bridges in the world. Several years ago, the great Pylon Lookout was constructed there. Visitors can come up via the lateral arch of the bridge.

Harbour Bridge, Australia A visit to this observation deck will be an unforgettable adventure. Before lifting, all visitors get a special uniform that includes rubber-soled shoes and a suit that protects from the wind. Life lines are attached to the clothes. Only after compliance with all precautionary measures, visitors can start their ascent to the bridge accompanied by an instructor. The observation deck is located at the highest point of the bridge. It offers a great view of the bay, as well as areas along the banks.

There is a more affordable and secure way to admire the panorama of the city. The Sydney Harbour Bridge has special paths for pedestrians, so everyone can walk there. However, a rise to the observation deck becomes increasingly popular among travelers. Every day, a limited number of people can walk there, so tourists may need several days to sign up for a tour. It’s also worth noting that the rise to the observation deck is available only in warmer months and in fine weather. Many travelers, however, try to visit the bridge at New Year's Eve because it is an important part of a traditional pyrotechnic show. Next - Ostankino Tower
