Sydney Harbour Bridge
The Harbour Bridge is one of Sydney's defining landmarks, and there are several ways to experience it — walk across for free on the pedestrian path, climb the southeast pylon for a lookout (a cheaper, shorter alternative), or do the full BridgeClimb up over the top of the arch itself, one of Sydney's signature paid tourist experiences with genuinely spectacular harbour views.
BridgeClimb is a several-hour commitment and a real splurge; the free pedestrian walk or the pylon lookout give a large part of the visual payoff for a fraction of the time and cost, so it's worth deciding which level of experience matches your budget and time.
