As the capital of Australia, Canberra is a popular travel destination that offers visitors a tantalising mix of history, politics, art, culture, nature, sport, music, fine food, wine and much more. A map of Canberra will show the city positioned within the ACT (Australian Capital Territory), which is in turn surrounded by the state of New South Wales.
Canberra CBD, and indeed the whole of Canberra city, is well planned and easy to navigate around. This said, you'd be best placed to join one of the Canberra CBD tours to be introduced to local attractions, food and entertainment by experienced guides. Hopping onto a coach or mini bus lets you forget about road rules and directions, and simply enjoy the sights from the air-conditioned comfort of your seat.
If you're looking for tours around Canberra that offer something a little different, consider booking one of the hot air balloon tours of Canberra, or the night time ghost tours, if you're feeling brave.
You could also take a tour of Canberra by water on one of the Lake Burley Griffin Cruises. The cruises take small groups of 10 to 16 people around the Lake Burley Griffin Lake daily from April to September.
Wine tours from Canberra will deliver you to the cellar doors of wineries throughout the nearby wine district to indulge in tastings of local wines and cheeses.
Wine tastings, lake cruises, ghost tours, and hot air balloon rides – just a small sample of the activities you can indulge in on your visit to Canberra, Australia.
