Canberra information

Map with directions to the National Museum of Australia

All Australians are reflected in their capital, Canberra. The city's national museums and attractions hold and share the treasures of our nation. Celebrate Australia's proud sporting achievements, delve into our unique political history, and reflect on our young nation's experience on the international stage. See our country and people through the eyes of our artists, and experience Australian character through sound and film, books and exhibitions.

Home to some 320,000 people, Canberra is one of the world's few planned cities, a city in a park, with golden autumn leaves and glorious spring blooms. Surrounded by native bushland, Canberra is perfect for getting back to nature.

But hidden beneath the leafy surrounds is a thriving modern city with stylish restaurants, hip bars, boutique shopping, fun for the kids and a busy calendar of events and festivals.

The surrounding region offers more than 30 wineries, historic townships, beautiful coastlines and the famous Snowy Mountains.

See yourself in Canberra there's never been a better time to visit.
