Montreal, Canada
Jacques Cartier Bridge straddles the St. Lawrence River to the island of St. Helena. As it is not so much for a stroll admiring its architecture as for the luxury of at Montreal. The best time for hiking such voyages - the summer season of competition fireworks, when the movement of motor transport on it stops (this is usually from mid June to mid August), or in September during the Montreal Marathon "Oasis."

You can just go through the walk and admire the views of Sydney Harbour and the building of the Sydney Opera House, you may also like industrial climbers to climb the bridge supports.
