You are not here to party, but to relax

Although a lot of people said it was boring, it was a really nice 2-3 day trip to this city. It's charming and low key. Nice to just walk around and chill

Canberra is surprisingly OK

I was surprised at how nice a place Canberra really is.

  • Insider tip:Take a tour of Old Government House, the National Gallery and allow 2 trips if you want to see the War Memorial properly - it's too much to take in properly in one trip
