🏡 Kirribilli – Just across the water, this charming suburb gives a completely different perspective of the bridge’s grand arches. Wander around Jeffrey Street Wharf for a quiet, picture-perfect angle without the crowds. 💙

🌳 Mrs Macquarie’s Seat – A classic Sydney lookout where you can capture both the Harbour Bridge and Opera House in one sweeping frame. Perfect for picnics, romantic moments, or simply watching sailboats drift by. 💐

🚶♀️ Circular Quay – The lively heart of Sydney! With cafés, buskers, and ferries buzzing around, it’s the most vibrant spot to enjoy the bridge’s energy up close. Grab a gelato, sit by the steps, and just take it all in. 🍦
