Canberra offers tourists and visitors plenty to do all year round. International exhibitions, world-class sporting events, music, dance, food, film and multicultural festivals, theatre, Summernats, expos, wine shows, fairs and of course Floriade means that there’s always something going on.

And you’ll be pleased to find entry to many of Canberra’s exciting activities is free.

Or if you’d rather escape the bustle and find quiet in the great outdoors, Canberra’s attractions lie between large areas of bushland, lakes and forests perfect for the walking or cycling enthusiast.
