One of the highlights of Canberra is its commitment to sustainability. You can take a heart-pumping hike or cycle the trails through the city, which has been recognized as one of the world's most sustainable cities. Within just a short drive, you can discover waterfalls, gorges, forests, and snow-capped mountains at the nearby national parks and nature reserves.
For art lovers and history buffs, Canberra offers a vibrant local arts scene and a wealth of heritage sites. The city's museums and galleries showcase extensive collections of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art and history, allowing you to immerse yourself in some of the oldest and richest cultures in human history.
Families will also find plenty of activities to keep the kids entertained. From nature-themed playgrounds to the science wonderland of Questacon, there's always something to do during school holidays.
If you're a wine enthusiast, Canberra's wine region is a must-visit. With 140 vineyards and over 40 wineries within a short drive from the city, you can embark on a weekend getaway filled with wine tastings and vineyard tours.
And let's not forget about the foodie culture in Canberra. From award-winning coffee to long lunches and craft beers, the city takes its culinary offerings seriously. Prepare to tantalize your taste buds with the diverse range of dining options available.
For outdoor enthusiasts, Canberra is a paradise for biking holidays. Whether you prefer cycling from the city center to the bush or exploring new jumps in a forest, Canberra has it all.
At the Canberra and Region Visitors Centre, we also want to acknowledge and pay respect to the Ngunnawal people, the traditional custodians of the ACT. We also recognize and respect any other people or families with connections to the lands of the ACT and region, and we appreciate the contributions they make to the life of this city and region.

"It's definitely worth a visit, especially if you are passing through the area and had a few days to spare. The staff member that assisted us was very knowledgeable and friendly. She provided us with lots of useful information for the area and what we could do in the area travelling with a fur baby. The centre has some lovely gifts also."
