Visit Sydney: The Sydney Tower Eye


Disclosure: Our visit was hosted.

For some of the most amazing views in Sydney, be sure to check out The Sydney Tower Eye!

The Sydney Tower Eye is accessible via the Westfield Sydney Shopping Centre.  


Completed in 1981, the Sydney Tower stands at 309 meters tall, making it the tallest building in Sydney and the second tallest observation tower in the Southern hemisphere.

After perusing some exhibits and a taking a souvenir photo, we went to the indoor observation deck for clear, 360-degree views of Sydney.  

We lucked out with blue skies and views that spanned for miles.  




We could see iconic buildings, numerous parks, stunning bridges, and popular landmarks.  





We had fabulous views of Darling Harbour and Hyde Park, and could spot the Sydney Football Stadium, Sydney Opera House, St. Mary's Cathedral, and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.



The view was so clear, that we could even see the Blue Mountains, which are over 50 miles away (The Sydney Tower Eye offers the furthest views in Sydney!).

The unobstructed views allowed visitors to watch airplanes fly by from the Sydney Airport, ferries and boats travel to and fro, and cars zoom by.

I personally enjoyed gazing at all the different buildings and styles of architecture, and the kids had fun identifying places we had already visited, like the stadium, where we watched a soccer game, or the harbour where we watched fireworks.  

Entry is timed, and we had tickets for the first time slot which meant the crowds were very minimal.  Throughout our visit, the crowds were never too crazy, and it was still easy to get great shots through the huge windows without any waits or any other visitor getting in the way.

If you have time and want even more of an adventure, consider taking the 60-minute SKYWALK tour, where guests get to walk (tethered) on at outdoor deck for a thrilling experience.  

Visit The Sydney Tower Eye for spectacular views of Sydney and beyond!
