The sheer scale, the iconic bridge, the Opera House, the harbourside homes, the brilliant ferries and not forgetting the exuberant Aussies. Don't bother with the harbour cruises the ferries are GREAT!

Doesn't matter if you walk along the bank, over the bridge or jump on a cruise this Harbour is simply stunning. Pick a fine day and watch the water sparkle and the flotilla of varying boats passing by. Second to none.

Great place to see the bridge and opera house. Must do is to take a boat trip over to Manly, to see this great area, and walk down through the small town, to see the lovely beach at the end of the high street. On the boat trip you get some great photo opportunities of the bridge and opera house.

Awesome views, especially looking closely at the opera house, it's amazing. There are also happy hour deals in some of the bars for you to sit and watch the world go by. Go on a ferry to see the harbour in a new light.

Fantastic for a day or night out on a boat. Brilliant on a nice day. Grab a ferry, boat cruise, or water taxi, or whatever mode of transport you can afford.
