The 'Coathanger', a steel arch bridge opened in 1932. Walk across it for free on the eastern footpath, climb the Pylon Lookout, or join BridgeClimb to the top of the arch, 134 m above the harbour.


The Rocks, at its southern end, is Sydney's oldest area, with weekend markets. Take a ferry to Manly for harbour views.
