Bridge Stairs

The bridge has stairs that go up and one that goes across to the Obervatory Hill park. We went up first to see the views around the area. There are two levels to the bridge, the mid way had a walkway that went along the bridge. The top level was almost at the height of the cars on the bridge and had a nice view over the water towards the Opera house. It also led to the Cahill Walk.
The veiws here were quite nice and worth a stop, or even just a way to get to the other walkways.

Stairs up to the walking area of the Sydney harbour bridge but also the entrance of the tunnel that connects the Rocks area with Observatory hill. Clean and well maintained. Slightly steep.

This is the free entry to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The stairs are quite steep and tiring. Luckily you can take the lift to the bridge walk.

The stairway entrance is very low key & not particularly easy to find which is a bit of a surprise. Once there its a fairly easy walk up and across. It's not terribly exciting except for the experience, & the views but it is definitely one to tick off your list. As you go across, (safely separated from the cars , & above the trains)you can choose to go up the ramparts but its not cheap (apx 18 dollars).A couple of security guards man the bridge ( must be so bored) to ensure safety.There's not much across the other side to rave about but if you turn left you may come across the 'secret garden' which is really pretty & again had fab views. Get a train back & save your legs.

Gateway to the beautiful Sydney harbour bridge walking path. Reach this point in about 10 minutes from Circular Quay station

Good walk over the bridge. Beautiful views!!

The Bridge Stairs are your gateway to the magnificence that is the Sydney Harbour Bridge. You'll see lots of local walkers blended with tourists padding from south to north and back, pausing to inspire the spectacular views. Fur parents note that some puppies don't enjoy bridge vibration and loud traffic noise.
