Tailoring Your Experience You have approximately 4.5 hours to explore the capital. Because this is a private tour, the itinerary is flexible—we will discuss your preferences on the day and visit these venues in the order that suits you best.
Our Recommendation Canberra’s institutions are world-class and deserve time to be appreciated. To ensure a relaxed and enjoyable pace, we recommend selecting a maximum of 3 to 4 venues. Attempting to visit everything often leads to a rushed experience, but the final choice is always yours.
Mount Ainslie, ACT
The ultimate panoramic view. See the Griffin Plan geometry, the War Memorial, and Parliament House perfectly aligned.
Australian War Memorial
A world-class tribute to our history. Explore the Hall of Memory, the Roll of Honour, and the Commemorative Courtyard.
National Art Gallery
Home to Jackson Pollock’s 'Blue Poles' and the world’s largest collection of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander art.
Old Parliament House
Walk the historic corridors of power. Visit the original Prime Minister’s office and the preserved House of Representatives chambers.
New Parliament House
The modern heart of the nation. Marvel at the architecture, visit the Senate, or take the lift to the grass roof walk.
National Museum
Located on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin. Discover Australia’s social history and Indigenous stories in a stunning modern setting.
