All year round Canberra offers major exhibitions and activities for all ages highlighting Australia's art, culture, science, sport and history. Most of Canberra's ‘must-see' attractions surround the shores of beautiful Lake Burley Griffin in what is known as the Parliamentary Triangle. Must-see attractions include the National Museum of Australia, National Gallery of Australia, Australian War Memorial and Old Parliament House.

Festivals, galleries, embassies, gardens and sport - there's always plenty to do and see. Shop until you drop at Canberra's shops and markets, head to the theatre and sporting events, or ‘go bush' to discover wildlife and Canberra's untouched beauty.

There are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy - hire a bike and ride around Canberra's centerpiece, Lake Burley Griffin, drift over the city in a hot air balloon, or play golf at one of many fabulous golf courses. There are more than 300 restaurants, cafes and bars with a huge variety of cuisine on offer which reflect the diversity of the national capital. For pure pleasure take a tour of the Canberra district's awardwinning cool climate wineries. Set in beautiful rural surrounds, the wineries are intimate and friendly.
