Why it's worth checking out
Broughton Street Lookout offers one of the finest harbour views in Sydney, at Milsons Point on the lower north shore. A superb 4.8 rating from 638 reviews reflects just how special the outlook is from this much-loved vantage point.
The appeal is the view — sweeping vistas across Sydney Harbour, taking in the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House and the city skyline, all from a peaceful spot away from the crowds. It's a brilliant, free place for photos, a moment of calm or simply soaking up one of the world's great harbour panoramas.
Lookouts can have changing access and conditions, so check current details before you go. It's a free, easygoing spot to enjoy whenever the weather's clear — and especially lovely around sunrise, sunset or when the harbour is lit up at night.
