Insiders' Tips
It is always better to start early to avoid the rush as well as the scorching sun. Choose to sit comfortably on the right side of the top deck to get the best views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. If you are planning to add the Harbour Cruise on your list, choose afternoon time to see the golden rays hit the water and make them sparkle so that your photos look like they popped out straight from a travel magazine.
