    The Opera house was completed in 1973 and cost approx $AU 102,000,000 to build. Arguably the most famous building in Australia. You can walk right around the outside of the building and some inside areas are open to the public. There are tours every hour and often free entertainment outdoors on the weekends. It is sometimes possible to get cheap student tickets at the box office. There is also a place in the city called Halftix that sells tickets to preformances for that day. Their web address is www.halftix.com.au

    One of the best aerial view photo you can take of the Opera House is from the pylon lookout on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. See my Harbour Bridge Pylon Lookout tip on how to get there.

    There is a lot more to see than just the Opera House. Once you have walked around the outside, took the photo's, you could join a tour of inside the building. This lasts approximately 1 hour. I marvelled at the undergound car park, on one of the walls it showed how many levels below ground there were. Check it out if you go there. The construction of the building commenced in 1959, and was finished in 1973. There are more than a million ceramic tiles from Sweden, that are arranged on the shells in a pattern that resembles the stitching on a sail. The Architect was Joern Utzon.

    The Sydney Opera House is one of the most beautiful structure in the world. Take the ferry and you can have a good view of the Opera House from a different angle.

    When you are in Sydney, go to the Opera House. It is such an amazing building. On tv or in real life: it is such a different.

    The Opera House is one of the most famous performing arts centers. And one of Sydneys main attractions. It was opened in 1973. Very impressive, and certainly a very fine piece of architecture.

    The Sydney Opera House is amazing to see and all you want to do is just take pictures of it. I think the back is more impressive than the front of the opera house as the back has all the steps you can climb up and you have nice views out to the harbour.
