Information for Travelers

Filled with cultural treasures, Canberra is Australia's carefully crafted capital.

This is the eighth largest and largest city in the Australian outback.

It is located in the Australian Capital Territory, 248 km southwest of Sydney and 654 km northeast of Melbourne.

It is no coincidence that the city is located between Sydney and Melbourne.

The capital site was chosen as a compromise between these two rival cities in 1908.

American architects Walter Burley Griffin and his wife, Marion Mahony Griffin, won an international competition for the city's design, which incorporates vast green belts and geometric shapes.

Lake Burley Griffin, downtown, is Canberra's sparkling gem.


Culture

Many of the city's top tourist attractions and things to do are along its shores, including the National Gallery of Australia, Questacon and the National Library.

The parliament buildings, as well as some of the city's main tourist attractions, lie within the Parliamentary Triangle, formed by Kings Avenue, Commonwealth Avenue and Lake Burley Griffin.

Canberra is also known for its fantastic festivals, including the famous Floriade, a celebration of the city's many spring flowers.
