Honestly I dont remember the history of the bridge but it looks amazing in the sunset from the harbour. Plus if you are the adventerous type you can actually climb on top the bridge for some amazing views of Sydney!

If you are in Sydney this is a must, enjoy the Bridge and the harbour. Vivid festival is a must to see in the city in May - make sure you dress warm and check it out.
