Pylon Lookout & Museum

View of Sydney Harbour Bridge from the south-eastern pylon containing the tourist lookout towards North Sydney, Australia.

The views from the top of the Harbour Bridge's southeast pylon are well worth the 200 steps, though the entry fee seems steep. Museum exhibits and a short film of old photos explain how the bridge was built. It's on the bridge walkway, accessed from Cumberland St. No cash accepted.
