One of the best views of the Sydney Harbour, without the three figure price point of the Bridge Climb or the adrenaline that comes with it can be found at Pylon Lookout, reached via pedestrian pathway on the eastern side of the bridge. Look for a sunny day so you can get the most from Pylon Lookout. If you’re lucky, you’ll see a group of people on their way up the Harbour Bridge. Be aware there are a few stories of stairs to reach the observatory. Closes at 5pm, so no sunset shots here unfortunately.
