Canberra capital of Australia

CANBERRA

Purpose-built yet full of surprises—Australia’s capital blends nature, nation and new ideas.

Overview

Purpose-designed with plenty of green space and culture on every corner, Canberra surprises with its food scene, bike trails, and creative spirit. It’s where Australia’s story is told—through history, art, and a deep respect for the land.
