For the most breathtaking 360° views of Sydney, a visit to the top of Sydney Tower should definitely be on your must do list

Afterwards you will be whisked to the top of the tower by one of three high-speed double decker elevators in about 40 seconds. From there you will enjoy breathtaking 360° vistas of Sydney and it's beautiful harbour.
Sydney Tower, also known as the Sydney Tower Eye, or simply Centrepoint Tower is the tallest structure in Sydney and ranks as the 2nd highest observation tower in the southern hemisphere!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable experience 268 metres up!
My wife and I had an absolutely awesome day on the Skywalk! We lucked out with crystal clear weather, and the 360-degree views from 268 metres above sea level were truly breathtaking.
A massive shoutout to our guides, Luke and Claire, who made the whole experience next-level
Luke was a phenomenal guide—engaging, knowledgeable, and had fascinating facts to share about every landmark we looked at across the city.
Claire was fantastic behind the camera, capturing great shots so we could just relax, soak in the height, and enjoy the moment.
The entire walk was safe, thrilling, and smoothly run from start to finish.

Gives a full 360 degree view of the Sydney city. It doesn't have the best angles to spot the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, but you can still spot them through the other skyscrapers that surround the tower. There are tower viewers around the observation deck if you want a closer look at certain areas.
Enter through the Westfield Sydney mall on Market Street and go to the fifth floor to reach the Sydney Tower Eye reception. There are staff inside the mall who can guide you if you are unsure.
We bought the 4 attraction pass for $65 dollars which is great value compared to buying each ticket separately. The pass includes SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium, WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo and Madame Tussauds wax museum. All four attractions are close to each other and easy to cover in a single day. The price can vary depending on how close your visit date is and how busy they are, so it is best to buy tickets online in advance.
The views are especially nice during sunset. Definitely worth a visit if this is your first time in Sydney.

Must-see attraction in Sydney! The 360 deg views of Sydney are just stunning. We visited on a weekday during dusk and had a great time. We didn‘t even have to wait in line and it was very easy & quick to get up.
Tickets are a bit cheaper if you buy online, at least one day in advance.
Tip: If you‘re a visitor in Sydney, come here either on your first day to get an amazing overview of the city or visit on your last day to reflect on your journey!

We decided to visit the Sydney Tower Eye during our family trip, and the views from the top were absolutely breathtaking. If you want a spectacular, 360-degree bird’s-eye view of the entire Sydney skyline, the harbor, and beyond, this is definitely the place to go. Standing at the top and looking out over the city is an exhilarating experience that the whole family thoroughly enjoyed. It gives you a fantastic sense of scale of the city, and the photo opportunities up there are incredible.
The only thing to keep in mind is that the attraction itself is quite short. It takes only about 30 minutes to cover everything, look out from all angles, and take your photos. Because it is a relatively quick experience, it doesn't require a large time commitment, making it very easy to fit into a busy sightseeing schedule.
While we wished the experience could have lasted a little longer, the sheer quality of the view makes it well worth the trip up. It is a fantastic, quick stop for anyone wanting to see Sydney from a completely new perspective, and it is manageable for both kids and elderly family members since there is very little walking involved once you are at the observation deck.

Pretty good experience, although I didn’t book online beforehand so paid full price on the day, AU$42:00. Goes without saying, make sure it’s not low cloud or rain as you won’t get to see much! They take your picture on the way in but it’s AU$30 for one picture and not much more for the whole album. I’ll let you judge whether it’s worth it or not!! Otherwise a good experience!
