Sydney Harbour Bridge by Helicopter
Opened in 1932, the Sydney Harbour Bridge is a steel arch bridge connecting the city centre to the North Shore, nicknamed "the Coathanger" for its shape. It's one of the world's widest long-span bridges and a fixture of Sydney's New Year's Eve fireworks.
Seeing it by helicopter
Flying past the bridge lines up its full steel arch end to end, a profile that's hard to take in from the pedestrian walkway or even the BridgeClimb, where you're on top of the structure rather than looking at its shape from outside.

Good to know
- •This bridge and the Opera House sit close enough together that most harbour flights show both within the same short stretch.
- •If you're doing the BridgeClimb separately, a helicopter flight gives you the view of the bridge the climbers themselves don't get -- its arch from a distance.
- •The bridge's four pylons and the arch's curve are easiest to make out from directly overhead or slightly to the side.
Is seeing the Harbour Bridge from a helicopter similar to doing the BridgeClimb?
No -- they show you opposite things. The BridgeClimb puts you on top of the bridge's arch looking out over the harbour; a helicopter flight shows you the bridge's own arched shape from outside, which climbers never get to see since they're standing on it.
