Climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge

Sydney Harbour Bridge

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is an arch bridge that offers spectacular views. The steel bridge, which was opened in 1932, is 1,149-metres long (including the approach spans) and has an arch span of 503-metres. It has two rail lines, a pathway for cyclists, a pedestrian walkway, and eight lanes for vehicles. Seems pretty impressive, right? If you want to see the area from an even more interesting vantage point, you can actually climb the bridge thanks to BridgeClimb Sydney, and yes, it’s legal. Let’s look a little more into it and see if it’s something that you might be interested in.

Types of Climbs
There are several different types of climbs at various times of the day and night that you can consider with BridgeClimb Sydney. There’s the day climb, a twilight climb, a nighttime climb, and a dawn climb. Then there’s the Bridgeclimb Express, the Bridgeclimb Sampler, and Bridgeclimb Mandarin. With so many options, chances are you’ll be able to find the right experience that you desire.

Special Event Climbs
There are currently four different special event climbs that you can do with BridgeClimb Sydney. There’s the Sunset Sessions which takes place during the twilight climbs on Sundays in July and where a barbershop quartet will perform. The State of Origin Legends Climb takes place the eve of the 2016 State of Origin (Game 1 only). From May 27 to June 18 is The Vivid Climb which involves dancing on a flashing multi-colored dance floor, and The Auslan Climb is for those who are hearing-impaired.

Celebration Climbs
As if there weren’t already an incredible amount of climbs available through BridgeClimb Sydney, there are also three types of Celebration Climbs. There’s the Canape Climb which teams up with a catering company so event planners can provide their guests with food at the top along with beautiful views. There’s also the Bridgeclimb Birthday Party so children who are 8 and up can celebrate their birthday in style, and you can choose to have an entertainer or go without. Lastly, if you’re planning on getting married, you may want to consider the Bridgeclimb Wedding where you can start your new life together from an amazing height.

Sounds pretty good? You’ll get to experience 360-degree panorama views along with climbs that range from 1.5-hours to 3.5-hours. Children are allowed, but they must be at least 8 years of age and at least 1.2-metres tall. Take note that everyone is breathalyzed for safety purposes. In addition to the climb, you’ll also get a certificate of achievement, a group photograph, free entry to Pylon Lookout, and a cap. Regardless of the experience you’re considering, make sure you read through all the details and fine print before purchasing so you can pick a climb that really works for you.
