Canberra Travel Guide

Australian Capital Territory, Australia

Canberra is Australia’s national capital, in the Australian Capital Territory, with a population of 367,752. It is an inland city in the southeast of Australia rather than a coastal resort.

Most visitors arriving by air use Canberra Airport, the city’s listed airport. There is one named nearby site, Sylvia Curley Bridge, 4.7 kilometres away. Despite being included among nearby beach locations, it is described as a bridge, so Canberra is not the place to choose for a traditional seaside holiday.
