Make the Most of Your Canberra Stay

Cultural institutions and design

Canberra stands apart as one of the world's few entirely planned capitals, where Walter Burley Griffin's geometric vision created a city aligned with the surrounding landscape. The Parliamentary Triangle anchors the nation's most significant institutions, from the grass-roofed Parliament House integrated into Capital Hill to the Brutalist National Gallery of Australia, which holds the world's largest collection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art. The Australian War Memorial combines shrine and museum in Art Deco splendor, while Lake Burley Griffin serves as the city's scenic centerpiece.

Sophisticated dining and evolving energy

What began as a quiet administrative center has matured into Australia's coolest little capital, where Braddon's coffee culture and microbreweries meet NewActon's award-winning architecture. The dining scene punches well above expectations, with establishments like Aubergine and Raku showcasing local produce from the surrounding cool-climate wine region. Kingston Foreshore offers waterside dining, while historic Manuka provides upscale bistros popular with the political set. Business travelers appreciate Civic's central location and the 15-minute commute from Canberra Airport.

Beyond the capital

The city's position opens access to remarkable contrasts—the Snowy Mountains' alpine terrain lies 2.5 hours away, while Batemans Bay's beaches await on the south coast. The Canberra District wine region surrounds Murrumbateman with cellar doors and world-class Shiraz, and Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve guarantees wildlife encounters just 40 minutes from Parliament House.
