Sydney to Canberra Trip – Must-Visit Spots

My first time in Canberra – such an underrated and healing capital! With sunshine and breeze as my companions, I wandered through history, art, and lakeside views. Perfect for a 1-2 day weekend getaway ✨ 🖼️ National Gallery of Australia I was mesmerized by Monet’s Water Lilies on the first floor! The Indigenous art section was also deeply moving and immersive. Free entry, no booking needed – full of artistic vibes 🎨 🪙 Royal Australian Mint So cool to see how Australian coins are made! On the first floor, you can mint a souvenir coin – choose your birth year or gift it to loved ones. The second floor has commemorative coins and a chance to watch the production process. Lots of fun stories behind Aussie coin designs! 🌊 Lake Burley Griffin Best visited at dusk – the lake turns purple under the sunset, with mountains and towers in the distance. So peaceful and beautiful 🌅 🏛️ Parliament House The lawn offers a grand overlook of the city – the building itself is like a modern sculpture. No booking needed. You can explore the Senate and House of Representatives, or head to the rooftop for a panoramic view. So majestic! 📜 Museum of Australian Democracy (Old Parliament House) A must for history lovers! It traces Australia’s political evolution in a very human and engaging way. The Queen’s crown is displayed to the right after entering – ask staff for a map! 🎓 Australian National University (ANU) A tranquil campus that feels like a forest retreat – artistic and inspiring. Every building is photogenic 📸 💡 Tips ✔️ Take a bus from Sydney (~3.5 hours) ✔️ Use public transport + walking – attractions are close together ✔️ Gallery + Parliament buildings are within walking distance – end the day with sunset at the lake ✔️ Bring water and sunscreen – Canberra is dry with strong UV ✔️ Most places close by 5 PM – plan ahead! 📸 Photo tip: Use natural light! Lawns, glass reflections, and lakeside silhouettes are super photogenic. 🧳 This route is relaxed and perfect for slow travel~ If you’re looking for a peaceful yet culturally rich destination with stunning scenery – come to Canberra 💛 #CanberraTravel #ExploreAustralia #VisitCanberra #NationalGallery #ParliamentHouse #StudyInAustralia #HiddenGems #CanberraGuide
