On the very top floor of the Sydney Center Point Tower, you will find a <strong>fine-dining restaurant<\/strong> called the Sydney Tower Buffet, where you can sit with the family and enjoy a meal, with some of the best dining views in the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sydney Tower also offers a <strong>unique experience called the City Skywalk<\/strong> &#8212; where you and your family can take an exhilarating walk along a specially built glass floor, 268 meters above the city streets.
