Mrs Macquarie's Chair

Mrs Macquarie was the wife of Governor Macquarie, and legend has it that she used to sit in this part of a rock, shaped like a bench or a chair. From here you’ll enjoy great views to the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Connecting the central business district with the North Shore, the Harbour Bridge is one of the best spots for a good view over Sydney. You can walk across the Bridge or, choosing a clear and dry day, you can climb to the top of it and admire the spectacular scenery.

Sydney Harbour Bridge - The Pylon lookout

If you are unwilling to risk the climb to the top of the bridge, or if you have children in your company, walk the 200 steps to the Pylon Lookout in the one of the bridge's pylons instead. 87 meters above mean sea level, you will be able to see most of Sydney from here.

Sydney Tower

Formerly known as both the AMP and the Centrepoint Tower, the Sydney Tower is the tallest freestanding structure in Sydney. For a bit of excitement you can walk onto the roof, 268m over Sydney - a walk that makes the Harbour Bridge Climb seem like a picnic. For those who want to quietly reflect over being on top of the world, the Tower is also home to a restaurant.
