About Canberra

Canberra is the capital of Australia, a planned city, where you can find various national monuments, galleries, and museums built around a big artificial lake. There are also numerous great outdoor spaces that are perfect for relaxation or recreation.

Things to do 

Lake Burley Griffin is a man-made lake situated in the city center, or maybe the lake itself can be seen as the center of Canberra since everything is built around it. The northern shore of the lake is home to the National Museum of Australia, Captain James Cook Memorial, National Capital Exhibition, and Blundells Cottage. The southern shore of Lake Burley Griffin is closer to the Parliament House. The National Gallery and National Library of Australia are there, and you should check them out.

If you want to check out the largest collection of the native flora of Australia, go to the Australian National Botanic Gardens near beautiful Black Mountain. Mount Ainslie is a hill located in the suburbs - and if you’re looking for perfect sunset views, this is the place for you. People with children should check out the National Zoo and Aquarium at the western end of the lake or Big Splash Waterpark that offers many fun slides and pools. The waterpark is located 8 miles away from the city center, in the suburb of Macquarie.
