Go to one of the pillars and check out the view of the harbour? Check.
Scale the top of the arch and conquer your fear of heightss? Mm..maybe later.

Now, how about walking the length of the bridge from North Sydney to The Rocks…for free*?

The Sydney Harbour Bridge Walk is an annual event, and this year it’s celebrating its 75th anniversary! And PPMS is proud to announce that we have booked an exclusive 20 places for you to join us celebrate this historical event.
