Sydney Harbour Bridge and The Rocks
Closest Hotels to Sydney Harbour Bridge and The Rocks:
Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of the most recognisable man-made structures in the world, and is undoubtedly one of Sydney’s most famous icons. The bridge, affectionately known as ‘the Coathanger’, took 1400 workers (16 of whom were killed in the process) eight years to complete and was officially opened in1932. Thrill-seekers can do the BRIDGECLIMB - a guided walk to the top of the 50-storey-high bridge, over the cars and trains rumbling across the deck below. The area at the foot of the bridge is known as The Rocks and is recognised as Sydney’s historical birthplace. The area was the site of the first landing from Plymouth, England in 1788; today The Rocks is a busy area consisting of cafés, restaurants, galleries, museums and countless souvenir shops. Among the district’s most significant historic buildings are the Hero of Waterloo Inn, the Sydney Observatory, Cadman’s Cottage, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Merchants’ House, Garrison Church and Susannah Place.
