This is a unique way to spend the day walking around the tourist areas you would want to see in Sydney. It is very affordable and you will see Central Station, the Opera House, Sydney Tower to name a few. It takes several hours, but you get a feel for the city, plus in the clues you get a sense of the history and culture of the area. It is fun, challenging and okay for all ages.

The Sydney Bridge spans the Sydney Harbor and is the world's largest steel-arch bridge. If you are fit, not afraid of heights and over 10 years of age it is a great adventure. You climb over 1400 steps to get to the top of the bridge and look out over Sydney. But to say there are over 1400 steps is a little misleading. You walk over catwalks that look straight down, shimmy your way around girders on very narrow passageways, and up ladders. You go up in small groups and are lead by a tour guide who urges you on (I needed lots of urging) in a polite way. But once you start, you cannot stop its only one way so make sure you really really want to do this and are able to do this. But once you make it to the top, it is a great feeling, until you realize that you are only half way done because you have to get down. They now offer 2 types of climbs; the Bridge Climb and the new Discovery Climb which is even more challenging.
