Canberra Tours

Despite being Australia’s capital city, Canberra is often overlooked as a travel destination in Australia. But anyone with an interest in Australian history, art and culture is missing out if they skip Canberra. And just because it’s home to many of Australia’s bureaucrats, doesn’t mean Canberra isn’t fun. The vibrant city offers dining options to impress even the toughest food critic, a range of outdoor activities and heaps of natural beauty.

Any Canberra Tour is likely to involve at least one of the national museums or galleries found in the city. Discover the world’s largest collection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artwork and important works from Australian and international artists at the National Gallery of Australia. At the National War Museum, pay tribute to the Australian men and women who have fought for the country. View paintings and sculptures of well-known Australians and historical figures at the National Portrait Gallery. And enjoy the interactive exhibitions on everything from Australia’s First Nations people to the Ancient Greeks at the National Museum of Australia. Yikes! That’s a lot to see and do!

Then of course, there is Parliament House. Guided tours take you through the rooms and halls where Australia’s federal politicians debate and pass laws governing the country. Learn all about the history of Parliament House, the traditions and processes of Australian parliament and much more. If parliament is in sitting, you can even watch ministers in action!
