Sydney Opera House, Australia

Next to it there is another important symbol of the city - Harbor Bridge - which is called ‘hanger’ among locals. The Harbor is one of the largest arch bridges in the world. It was completed in 1932. The construction took eight years; in the erection of a bridge over one and a half thousand workers were employed. Today, Harbor is not only among the most important sights of Sydney, but it is also the most recognizable landmark of the continent. There is also the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere in the city – the Sydney Tower. Tower height is about 300 meters; the top of it is equipped with an excellent viewing platform.
Climbing the tower remains one of the most popular entertainments among tourists; to get to the observation deck you need to overcome more than a thousand steps. There is a more comfortable way to overcome the dizzy height, as the observation deck can be reached by elevator. The large-scale building houses several wonderful restaurants, a huge shopping center and an entertainment center with numerous attractions.

Another great way to look at Sydney from a large height is to visit Royal Botanic Gardens, on which territory is located a large observation deck known as "Mrs Macquaire's Chair". According to a legend, the founder of the garden made a bench in one of the nearby cliffs, so she could relax there on evenings, admiring the panoramic looks of the magnificent bay. Today the viewing platform is visited daily by thousands of travelers. Here it is possible to see not only the coastal zone, but the neighborhood of the city.
