Canberra is Australia’s Capital City, and although smaller than Sydney or Melbourne, there is plenty to discover. Here you will find museums, galleries, breweries and modern architecture alongside quiet nature of breathtaking mountains and valleys. It's no wonder the locals here love the lifestyle and landscape.

Canberra’s culinary offering is impressive, with an eclectic mix of styles, cuisines, and experiences. Make your way around the city’s award-winning restaurants, vineyards and coffee shops. Whether you’re after family-friendly restaurants, fine dining, sweet treats, or exceptional coffee, it’s all here.

Canberra's large student population has resulted in a lively creative scene, and one of the best ways to experience the city’s artistic side is at the weekly Old Bus Depot Markets. From hipster clothes and homewares to delicious organic produce and excellent coffee, the markets are packed with interesting things to buy, eat and sample every Sunday from 10am to 4pm.

Other great Canberra pastimes include exploring the beautiful galleries, including priceless collections of Aboriginal Art at the National Gallery of Australia and the widely varied body of portraiture at the National Portrait Gallery.

No matter what you choose, you’ll be pleased you spent time in Canberra.
