Say goodbye to the winter blues with Sydney’s top five luxury experiences.
Sydney is just as alive and vibrant in winter as it is in summer. From private bridge climbs to igloos by the harbour, Sydney pulls out all the stops in winter. Time to swap the bikini for a coat and experience the cooler side of Sydney.
1. Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb
Some of the clearest skies and the most remarkable sunsets in Sydney happen in winter. To really see Sydney shine, book a private Sydney Harbour Bridge climb. With a private climb, you can enjoy a truly personal experience. Stand on top of the world (well, Sydney at least) accompanied by your guests and climb leader. Watch the sunset and witness panoramic views of one of the world’s most beautiful harbours.
