The grassy rise of Capital Hill is Canberra’s crowning feature. The perfectly circular hilltop locale is the core from which the rest of the city radiates.

Its grand boundary road encloses Canberra’s primary piece of architecture: Parliament House. Inside, Australia’s politicians discuss the daily debate. Take a walk around Capital Hill’s tree-lined lawns and experience the different faces of this intricately designed city. To the west, a little patch of remnant bushland provides a peephole into the past.

7.6/10 Good! (813 reviews)
Lots of things in need of repair or even just a good coat of paint. Every time we needed to go to reception there was only one person behind the desk, so wait time was always long.

Cute place, okay staff
