Sydney Harbour Bridge Walking Tour
The Sydney Harbour Bridge Walk is a relatively short walk that offers some excellent views of Sydney Harbour and Central Sydney
This walking tour will provide you with some beautiful views of Sydney Harbour and some great views across the harbour from the northern shore (looking back towards the Central Business District). It will also give you a close up encounter with the Sydney Harbour Bridge which is one of Sydney's most iconic landmarks.
The walk is less than 3 kilometres long from Circular Quay to the the tip of Milsons Point under the north end of the bridge. It should only take you about one hour to walk one way unless you stop in visit the museum and lookout in the southeast pylon. Afterwards you have the option of walking back over the bridge, or taking a train, or enjoying a short ferry ride back to the City Centre.
