Canberra was designed from scratch as a compromise capital between Sydney and Melbourne, and the result is a city of wide boulevards, lakeside parklands, and world-class national institutions — the Australian War Memorial, the National Gallery of Australia, and the National Museum of Australia are all free to enter. The Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve on the city's edge offers excellent wildlife spotting.
Best time to visit
September–November for spring wildflowers and comfortable temperatures; winter brings occasional frost.

A car is recommended for getting around Canberra's spread-out layout; the ACTION bus network covers the main areas but frequencies are limited.
