Sydney tower

I plan to introduce some scenic spots in Sydney which I want to go on December 2009. First destination is Sydney Tower. Sydney Tower (also known as the AMP Tower, AMP Centrepoint Tower, Centrepoint Tower or just Centrepoint) is Sydney's tallest free-standing structure, and the second tallest in Australia (with the Q1 building on the Gold Coast being the tallest). (Ref from Wikipedia

The night scenes of Sydney Tower is very beautiful. You can imagine that you take a walk on river bank when you get off work.



Where to Sydney Tower ? I look up the Sydney Tower official web site. And we can travel by bus, ferry, memorial or train.

Sydney Tower is located above Centrepoint shopping centre, at the corner of Pitt Street and Market Street in the heart of Sydney's retail precinct.

Sydney Tower: Centrepoint Podium Level, 100 Market Street, Sydney NSW 2000
Phone: (+61 2) 9333 9222

The map is as follows.


Opening Hours?? Sydney Tower is open 7 days a week 365 days a year from 9:00am to 10:30pm. Sydney Tower is open on all public holidays except Christmas day.
Note: Skywalk is open from 9.30am to 8.45pm leaving aproximately every 45 minutes.

The importance of item is the Ticket Price.
Sydney Tower tickets include a visit to the Observation Deck at Sydney Tower and admission to OzTrek, a unique virtual reality ride across Australia, providing visitors with the ultimate avenue to start exploring both Sydney and Australia.
Adults : AUD $25.00*

The next time, I will show suit travel on Sydney Tower : "Wildlife World + Sydney Tower Pass".
