The beauty of Sydney Harbour in comparison to the other great harbours of the world is that you can catch million dollar views from so many places around the harbour.As with any harbour, to get the real feel of it you need to start on the water. Jump on a ferry and go for a ride. If you are not prone to motion sickness, stand out on the deck to get close-ups of Sydney's famous icons such as the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.There are some great spots to jump off along the way such as Fort Denison, used in the 18th century to house convicts. The high point of this island is the Circular Tower where you can see the harbour in all its beauty. There are park rangers on board on Fort Denison to take you on guided tours of the island.If you only have an hour to spare and want to see the Harbour in less time, jump aboard the Lady Street Ferry. This is a great way to spend an hour while catching up on some of Sydney's history.If you would prefer to see Sydney from a bird's eye view, head to the top of the AMP Tower. You will soar above the city and the observation deck is the highest in the Southern Hemisphere.The factsMacleay Serviced Apartments has self-contained apartments at affordable prices.Macleay Serviced ApartmentsTel: 1800 357 775One hour Sydney Ferries morning cruiseTransport Infoline Tel: 131 500The Fort Denison tour also includes ferry transfers
