Built from the ground up to be the center of Australia's government and national identity, this stately inland city is ready to share a broad, scenic perspective on the country. You're surrounded by national monuments arrayed around stately avenues and plenty of green space, where you can explore the country's history and art, admire the beautiful scenery, and find a wealth of things to do in Canberra that help you get to know what the city has to offer.
Forrest
Set right up against the south side of Capital Hill, Forrest's spoke-like avenues are laid out along the original plans drawn up for Australia's federal city. Lined with suburban-style homes and plenty of trees, the area hosts a community of public servants and young professionals with parkland in almost every direction.
Braddon
On the north side of Lake Burley Griffin and bordering Canberra's central business district, you're treated to the vintage buildings and hip attractions in one of the city's oldest neighborhoods. With a row of hotels along Northbourne Avenue and an embarrassment of cafes, bakeries, and pubs on Lonsdale Street, you're in for a delicious and eclectic stay.
Kingston
Running up along the edge of the water and the Jerrabomberra Wetlands, Canberra's first suburb is home to some of its liveliest scenes. Mostly redeveloped from a working-class neighborhood, Kingston still features a few old brick buildings along the Causeway beside the trendy eateries, plazas, and boardwalks that line the Foreshore.
Fittingly for a continent known for its landscapes and open space, the Australian capital has plenty of nature and outstanding views. You can get a great sense of the landscape from the top of Mount Ainslie, and then follow the open mall of Anzac Parade all the way from the Australian War Memorial to the edge of the water.
On the far side of the lake, the Old Parliament House stands in front of the modern new building for a striking symbol of the country's evolution, and you can find a wealth of galleries and museums that range from the prehistoric exhibits at the National Dinosaur Museum to the showcase of science and technology at Questacon. Check out some boutique wines just outside of town at the Mount Majura Vineyard, or get a 360-degree view from the observation deck at Telstra Tower.
If you're looking for a way to sort through the terrific range of sights in Canberra, there's plenty a guide who can help with that. Join a photography tour to practice your camerawork as you're shown to some especially photogenic spots, or take to the sky in a hot-air balloon to see things from a more elevated perspective. If you're more interested in adrenaline than photos, you can get a minute of freefall with some tandem skydiving.
For a deeper look at the heritage that's kept in the city, you can take a tour of the National Museum of Australia with a dedicated host, get to know the athlete's life with a visit to the Australian Institute of Sport, or meet the creatures of the Southern Hemisphere at the National Zoo & Aquarium. A tastier side of the city awaits on a trip through Canberra's craft beer scene, or you can admire the sights of the world in miniature with a visit to Cockington Green Gardens.
