Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of my favourite sights in town. It's nothing short of breath taking the first time you drive over it - and you certainly can't count yourself as a "Sydneysider" until you have taken on the several lanes of traffic! There's a number of ways to see the bridge - you can climb it, walk it, or go under it in a ferry. Sydney BridgeClimb is the company which can take you for a walk to the top of the bridge. I've heard good reviews of this, but it's a bit pricey for my liking, costing around $200 each. My preferred option would be to fork out the $8 to climb the south east pylon, you get very good views of the city and change to pay for a fancy dinner!

To walk across the bridge, simply take the train to Milsons Point and follow the signs. You should walk from this station back to the city in order to take advantage of the awesome views. My favourite way of getting some great bridge photos is to take one of the cute ferries from Circular Quay to Milsons Point, from there turn right and there's a tiny park with a great vantage point - hey presto, great photos of you in front of both the Opera House AND harbour bridge!

If you're heading to Sydney for a holiday, its worth looking to see when the annual picnic on the bridge is - they close the bridge to traffic and put down astroturf, then lots of people go and have a picnic! You have to enter my ballot but it looks like great fun! Oh and if you're in town on Australia Day, head to the bridge for a great spot to watch the Ferrython, where all the public ferries race from one end of the harbour to the other!
