Opened in 1934, Pylon Lookout quickly became a mainstay on tourist itineraries for its sweeping views of the Harbour City. In 1998, the bridge started offering a new, more adventurous way for visitors to experience these aerial views—summiting its 440-foot steel arches on the BridgeClimb. Pylon Lookout awards glimpses of these daring sightseers, in addition to three floors of exhibitions showcasing artifacts and footage from the building of the bridge.
You can tour Sydney highlights with a private guide, or see a different side of the city—from suburbs Woolloomooloo to Barangaroo—before stopping off at the soaring observation deck. If you want to customize your schedule, opt for the 2- to 4-day private guided tour; in addition to Pylon Lookout, itineraries typically include the UNESCO-listed Blue Mountains, Bondi Beach, and a kangaroo and koala experience. Included admission to the lookout depends on the tour.
