The best travel guide to Canberra

Canberra is the capital city of Australia and its eighth largest city. Canberra was chosen to be the nation’s capital in 1908 and is an entirely planned city that is outside any state. The city was designed by the winners of an international contest for the city’s design. Canberra is, therefore, a well-organized city that has designated areas of lush vegetation intermingled with its attractive buildings, making it one of the first eco-friendly planned cities in the world.  Canberra is home to many national monuments and institutions such as the Australian War Memorial, the National Gallery of Australia, National Portrait Gallery, the National Library, the National Archives, Australian Academy of Science, National Film and Sound Archive and the National Museum.

I have been writing contents based on holidays and tours for the last five years at Travel Center. My passion is to help people who love travelling and are looking for the ideal travel tips on destinations all around the world. Like a lot of people, I hoped travel would solve everything. I set off - convinced my trip would be all about incredible, life-changing moments; ones full of sunsets and rainbows and meaningful experiences. Instead, I stumbled headfirst into a disaster.
