Sydney Tour

Sydney Tour - Icons & Lookouts

First you have to get to Circular Quay. 2nd stop by train from Town Hall station or 15 minutes walk to North on George Street from Town Hall.


When you are at Circular Quay you might want to walk straight to Bennelong Point, Sydney Opera House and wander around and join a tour that leaves every half hour between 9am and 5pm

On the way back you can walk in to the Royal Botanic Garden from the Opera House’s stairs and visit the Government House. I would recommend that you do that another day as the Botanic Garden is pretty big.

So when you reach the wharf again at Circular Quay use the elevator that takes you to Cahill Express Highway. You have an open view of the harbour, you can follow the footpath to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. This is a fast track but if you want to see more, use the elevator again. (If you are interested in museums then you can visit Justice & Police Museum that is very close.)


Walk west to the other side of the wharf where you find the Museum of Contemporary Art. Walking along the harbour you reach the Sydney Cove Terminal. This is a great lookout if you climb the tower. (free of charge)


Now you can enter Sydney’s oldest suburb The Rocks turning to west.




If you continue your walk along the water you reach Dawes Point Park and you find a few cannons and a remaining dug hole from the bridge construction just under the bridge.



Visit The Rocks and find the stairs to the Harbour Bridge. Approach the first tower on the right and enter the Pylon Lookout for a small entry fee. It provides exhibition about the bridge and the best view except you are going to climb the bridge with BridgeClimb (need to book in advance!)

Now you can walk across the bridge and leave it at Milsons Point near the railway station. Turn back and walk towards the water. You find one of the best parks named Bradfield Park and the magnificent view of the city form Stanton lookout.


Walk across under the bridge to west where you find the North Sydney Olympic Pool. You can have a refreshing swim or you continue your walk to Luna Park. Now you can catch a train at Milsons Point to Town Hall.
