Canberra
Canberra is Australia's planned inland capital in the Australian Capital Territory. Its broad civic layout and national institutions reward a purposeful plan, rather than an unstructured walk across the whole city.

The Griffins' plan set major axes against Canberra's surrounding landforms. Around Lake Burley Griffin, Parliament House, the National Gallery and the National Museum present different sides of national life; the Australian War Memorial adds remembrance and history. Select an institutional cluster and leave time for the scale of each building.
What to look for
The planned axes and open spaces around Lake Burley Griffin
Parliament House and its public architecture
National art, history and memorial collections
Useful to know
Choose a small group of national institutions; each warrants its own visit time.
Account for the city's broad layout when moving between civic precincts.
