A relaxed two days - the national institutions and the lake on day one, then the Arboretum, a lookout and your choice of wine country or wildlife on day two.
A weekend is the sweet spot for Canberra. Day one covers the national institutions and the lake at an easy pace; day two heads for the hills and the country, with a choice between the cool-climate wine district and the wildlife at Tidbinbilla. It is an easy long weekend from Sydney or Melbourne, and a relaxed two days for any group.
Follow it yourself or have us drive it. In spring we fold in Floriade; in winter, day two can become a Snowy Mountains snow day.
Comfortably. Two days lets you cover the national institutions on day one and add the lake, the hills and either the wine district or a nature reserve on day two, without rushing.
Day two is where Canberra opens up - the National Arboretum and a lookout, then a choice between the Murrumbateman wine district or the wildlife at Tidbinbilla, depending on your group.
Very. The mix of institutions, lake walks, cool-climate wineries and a strong dining scene in Braddon and Kingston suits couples, friends and small groups alike.
Yes. In spring we work Floriade into day one or two; in winter, day two can become a Snowy Mountains snow day instead of the wine or nature option.
Yes. We can drive the whole weekend with a coach, driver-guide and transfers, or just the day-trip portion - whatever suits your group.
Tell us your dates and whether day two is wine, nature or snow, and we will set up the weekend.
