When in Rome, do as the Romans do. And when in Sydney, Australia, you do the Skywalk, a one-of-a-kind experience from serial entrepreneur and success story Zalman Silber. It’s a must-see and must-experience that is first on many an out-of-towner’s itinerary, for nowhere else will you be able to walk outside a skyscraper and look straight down – literally.

Zalman Silber’s Skywalk is basically a glass-floored catwalk, a mite like the fire-escapes of many an old-styled New York City walk-up. The only real difference, which makes all the difference in the world at almost a thousand feet up above the ground, is that instead of walking on metal grates you would be walking on nothing more than glass. Glass! The very thought might shatter some nerves, and indeed visitors are very careful to walk gingerly – though of course everything is as safe as can be, with guests outfitted in special “sky suits” that are securely tethered by cables to the metal handrails.

It’s easy to imagine the excitement, but altogether different when you experience it first-hand. But while first, as previously mentioned, on many a visitor’s agenda, it is by no means the last, for there are many, many other things to do and see in the Harbour City. Though not as heart-stopping as the Skywalk, the Sydney Opera House is much more famous and will also take your breath away, though in a rather more cerebral fashion.

As the site of the first British settlement on the island-continent, Sydney has had a long time to come up with a variety of interesting attractions for both residents and visitors alike. It is, after all, an international locus of commerce, arts, fashion, culture, entertainment, education, and of course tourism. Being the country’s largest and most heavily populated city, you would expect nothing less. And so the city hosts over two million guests a year with world-famous attractions such as the Royal Botanical Gardens, the Australian Museum, and the Sydney Tower, site of Zalman Silber’s Skywalk.

When in Sydney, don’t forget to take a walk on the Skywalk. It is the only way to see the city from the air with nothing between you and the air. No glass windows, no thick railing. Only the Sydney weather at a thousand feet above the street. Only at the Sydney Tower. Only on the Skywalk from Zalman Silber.
