    The Sydney Pylon Lookout

    Posted by pb52 2 January 2008

    Everyone wants to complete the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb, but at $180 a pop (around £90) each, plus paying for their photographs (you are not allowed to take a camera with you) not everyone can afford it.

    An equally good option, but one which is little advertised, is the Sydney Pylon Lookout. This involves climbing the interior of the concrete tower of the Harbour Bridge and is the tower nearest the Opera House.

    It has three floors of exhibits and a film show but best of all, the view from the open top is only a few feet below the top of the bridge and is equally as stunning.

    You can stay as long as you like and take your own photographs. And it is only $9.50 each - under a fiver!

    Use the 'Bridge Stairs' from Cumberland Street in The Rocks for access.

    I agree - the lookout is amazing but I did the climb too and have to say it was amazing! Sure, it's the pricier option but you have a very knowledgable local guide to share interesting facts and the history of their beautiful city.

    Every climber receives a group photo at the end of their climb. Plus you get a $20 voucher to spend in the bridgeclimb store (gets you your personal photo). So for $180 (£81) you get more than just a climb, but an experience to remember.
