Why it's worth checking out
The Sydney Tower Eye sits atop Westfield Sydney on Market Street in the heart of the CBD — the tallest structure in the city and one of its most recognisable landmarks. A must-do attraction, its observation deck offers spectacular 360-degree views over Sydney: the harbour, the Opera House and Bridge, the city, the beaches and out to the Blue Mountains on a clear day.
The appeal is that combination of breathtaking panoramic views and a genuine Sydney icon: from high above the city, you can take in the whole of Sydney spread out below, with the harbour and landmarks in view — and for the adventurous, the SKYWALK lets you step out onto an open-air platform for an extra thrill. It's a spectacular way to get your bearings and take in the city.
With a 4.4 rating from more than 16,000 reviews, it's clearly a hugely popular attraction. Opening hours, admission, the SKYWALK and any experiences vary, and tickets are often cheaper booked online, so it's worth checking current details and booking ahead before you go — particularly at busy times or for a clear-day visit — while looking forward to the spectacular views from the Sydney Tower Eye.
