Pylon Lookout at Sydney Harbour Bridge
From the top of the southeast pylon on Sydney Harbour Bridge--87 m (285 ft) above sea level--you have panoramic views of Sydney, the Opera House, and the bridge itself. As you climb the 200 stairs, learn about the bridge’s construction and the workers who built it from informational plaques, exhibitions, and old footage spread over several levels inside the pylon. Interestingly, while providing some support, Pylon Lookout at Sydney Harbour Bridge, with its granite façade, is mostly decorative.

Very interesting and well organized site. Was pretty easy to get to and the climb to the top was not bad at all. The view was amazing, with neat navigation markers pointing to every key piece of geography in the Sydney area. The workers were very friendly and the historical displays were well organized and informative. Highly recommended!

A superb place with fantastic views. If you love taking photos, this is a perfect place to take stunning views of the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and the Circular Quay area. The deck is pretty cramp and small though, so if there are many people, it can be quite packed. But if there aren't many people, you can take your time to enjoy the breeze and views. Well worth the price!
