Perched high above Sydney’s CBD, Sydney Tower Eye delivers sweeping 360° panoramas, a thrilling outdoor SKYWALK and a newly reimagined observation deck that puts the city, harbour and even the Blue Mountains in full view.
Overview
Standing at the top of Market Street above Westfield Sydney, the Sydney Tower (often called Sydney Tower Eye or Centrepoint Tower) is the city’s tallest structure and one of its most recognisable landmarks. The public observation level and Skywalk experiences offer visitors a range of ways to see Sydney from the sky — from relaxed indoor viewing to an adrenaline-charged guided walk around the tower’s exterior.
What to Expect at the Observation Deck
The recently reimagined indoor Observation Deck gives you horizon-to-horizon views across Sydney Harbour, the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and, on clear days, the Blue Mountains nearly 80 kilometres away. Large viewing windows, interactive pointers and comfortable viewing zones make it easy to spot landmarks and take memorable photographs.
SKYWALK — Sydney’s Highest Outdoor Adventure
For an unforgettable experience, book the SKYWALK: a fully guided, 60-minute outdoor tour that takes you 268 metres above the city. Participants are securely harnessed and led onto the external viewing platforms where the city sits directly beneath your feet — it’s both a bucket-list moment and a unique way to learn about Sydney’s skyline from expert guides.

Tickets, Combo Passes & Practicalities
- Ticket types: General admission to the Observation Deck, SKYWALK guided tours, combo tickets (bundle with other attractions) and annual passes are available.
- Booking: Online advance booking is recommended, especially for SKYWALK time slots and during peak seasons or special events (e.g., New Year’s Eve).
- Prices: Ticket prices vary by type and can change seasonally — check the official booking page for current rates and any locals or student discounts.
Best Time to Visit
Sunset is a favourite time — the golden hour lights up the city and the harbour, then the night skyline gradually appears. If you want clearer long-distance views (for example of the Blue Mountains), aim for a clear, low-humidity day. For smaller crowds, visit weekday mornings outside school holidays.
Accessibility & Practical Tips
- The tower has lifts and facilities for many accessibility needs; check the attraction’s accessibility guide if you or members of your party require assistance.
- Security and safety briefings are required for SKYWALK participants; sturdy closed shoes are a must and some restrictions apply for health and safety reasons.
- There’s a flexible “weather promise” for some ticket types — if conditions prevent your experience, operators often offer rebooking or refunds; verify this when booking.
Special Events & New Year’s Eve
Sydney Tower Eye runs seasonal and special-event experiences (for example ticketed vantage sessions on New Year’s Eve). These sell out quickly, so plan ahead if you’re after a prime event view above the city.
How to Get There
Sydney Tower sits in the heart of the CBD, above Westfield Sydney. It’s a short walk from many central train, bus and light rail stops (Pitt Street / Market Street area). If you’re driving, look for nearby parking options in the central city — public transport is often easiest.
Nearby Attractions
Combine your visit with other central Sydney highlights: the Sydney Opera House and Circular Quay, the Royal Botanic Garden, Darling Harbour attractions, or a walk through The Rocks. Many combo tickets can help you save when visiting multiple attractions in one day.
Whether you want a relaxed, panoramic view of Sydney from a warm indoor deck or an unforgettable outdoor SKYWALK adventure, Sydney Tower Eye is an essential stop for first-time visitors and locals who want to appreciate the city from a whole new perspective. Book ahead for peak times, follow the safety guidelines for SKYWALK, and bring a camera — the view is worth it.
