Why you'll love it
Canberra is Australia's capital, a planned city built around Lake Burley Griffin and surrounded by bushland. It scores 9 out of 10 for culture, families and safety, with national museums and galleries that are mostly free to visit.
The best time to visit Canberra is March to May or September to November, with mild days and autumn or spring colour. Autumn brings the Enlighten festival and spring brings Floriade.
Visit the Australian War Memorial, the National Gallery of Australia and Parliament House. Families will like Questacon and the National Zoo and Aquarium. Cycle around Lake Burley Griffin, and walk or drive up Mount Ainslie or Black Mountain for views over the city.
Canberra suits families, school-holiday trips and anyone who loves museums and history.
