Should you do the famous Sydney Australia Bridge Climb, or is it enough to just go to the lookout spot to see the same views?
In this Sydney vlog, we will be going to both the Pylon Lookout and walk on the Sydney Harbour Bridge with the famous Sydney Bridge Walk to determine which is better. A lot of people say you get the same views, and that arguable the Pylon lookout is better since you get to see the people walking on the bridge, which is supposedly a really amazing site to see. BUT, We also heard that the Sydney Bridgewalk is one of the top best things to do in australia and things to do in Sydney.
Let’s let’s see which is the best way to experience the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

I’m gonna be in Australia in May/June. I’m not gonna do it just because I don’t wanna spend the money on it. That bridge climb looks fun but expensive. I will be spending a lot more money on trains, crisscrossing Australia. Going from Sydney to Perth, and back on a train called the Indian Pacific. And then going from Darwin to Adelaide and back on a different train called The Ghan Not sure if you’ve heard of these, but they’re not like a typical passenger train. They’re more like a cruise ship. We stop along the way and visit the sites in Australia to get a full experience of Australia and the outback.

Its so worthwhile to do the bridge climb. Always tell people/friends to save up and do it at least once. I thought once would do it for me but I have done it 3 times😅 preferred the afternoon climb; dawn is risky as on ours,it was foggy and twiglight the view not so clear.

@@samandnick since you have done The Bridge Climb, you should now experience a hot air balloon ride. Camden is a good place but the best views is the ride over Gold Coast hinterland. Cheers and Best wishes to you both.

Sydney was so smokey that day due to no wind and all the reduction burning around in the bushland areas has settled across the city.

It was so bad 😰 And I ran the Sydney marathon a few days later! Luckily by the time the race came, most of the smoke had gone away!

@peterm4683 2 ай бұрын

Only 3 bridges in the world you can climb. Sydney is by far the best. However, if you’re ever in Brisbane, the second best climb is there, and considerably cheaper. Prices start from $99.

As an Aussie would I do the over priced tourist bridge climb? Not in a million years. What I would do, and have done, is climb the south eastern bridge pylon ($20ish), and if that wasn’t enough height, go to the much ‘higher’ observation deck of the Centrepoint Tower (aka Sydney Tower). Both of those offer 360 degree views over Sydney, spend as long as you want and take your own camera too. Bridge walk? Great to screw dollars out of tourists, being a local, no. Cheers,

What you’re describing are worthwhile activities, but the there’s no comparison. Since you haven’t done it you don’t know. You’re not presenting fact, only your singular opinion.

@johnnewman366 21 күн бұрын

I haven’t done the climb? You are making and assumption, you are wrong, completely wrong. What I haven’t done, is ‘paid’ for the overpriced bridge climb, I was given a free gift voucher many many years ago (15+ years ago). I stand by what I said, I wouldn’t pay the overpriced tourist fee for the climb. Think again dumbo. Cheers,

I would like to walk over the coathanger but it is far too expensive. It's fine for tourists as a once in a lifetime experience. If the prices were lowered then they might attract repeat business from us locals. I suggest using the pedestrian crossing on the bridge as it has great views and it's free. The pylon at the southern end is also reasonably priced and gives good views of the city.

@samandnick 3 ай бұрын

I agree it was very very expensive and definitely a once in a life time thing. They should offer some kind of discount or offer it to locals for a heavy discount!
