Olympic Pool North Sydney

If you’re looking for a swim with a view, then this pool is for you. It’s just steps from Luna Park in Milsons Point, with incredible views of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. For the ultimate photo of the harbour, climb to the top of the seated area framing the pool—you won’t be disappointed. I like visiting after the heat of the day passes, at dusk, when the light is softer. You can get here via ferry from Circular Quay—it’s a quick, one-stop trip under the bridge to Luna Park—and the ride offers even more opportunities to capture Sydney’s most famed landmarks.
