Nature Walk in Canberra

Even the most urban cities hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Canberra's parks, gardens, and green corridors offer a breathing space between the landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find.

Canberra is Australia's purpose-built capital, a city of grand national institutions, sweeping parklands, and geometric lake views. Walking between the war memorial, parliament, and galleries reveals a city designed for contemplation and civic pride.
