Map
Map of RegionList
 City
The urban core and the central business district of Australia's capital albeit a small one home to many shopping malls, dining options and provides some of the most magnificent views of Parliamentary Triangle, one of the most important places in Australia.
 Acton
Canberra's university district, home to the Australian National University and many museums with it, along with the Australian National Botanic Gardens, containing perhaps one of the most finest selections of flora from all over Australia, from remote Western Australia, to the pines of Norfolk Island, and perhaps the only place where one can walk from tropical rainforests of Queensland to temperate forests of Tasmania around about in two minutes.
 North Canberra and Campbell
While mostly comprised of residential neighbourhoods of the District of Canberra Central, many travellers come to the district to see the Australian War Memorial, one of the most largest and important war memorials in Australia and perhaps one of the premiere military museums and sites in Australia.
 South Canberra
Contains many of Australia's most important federal buildings, mostly contained within Parliamentary Triangle which includes Parliament House, and several other government buildings, many of which are open to the public. The district also contains many of Canberra's museums and the Royal Australian Mint.

Three northerly districts in the north of Canberra, while largely residential hold plenty of markets, shopping precincts, dining options and plenty of greenery.

 Weston Creek, Molonglo Valley and Woden
To the west and southwest of South Canberra, contains a couple of dining options, and home to the National Arboretum, one of the most scenic bits of Canberra.
 Tuggeranong and Country ACT
A large settlement in the southern suburbs of Canberra which is a gateway to the Australian Alps, and a vast open space where one can truly experience the bush capital, Canberra's nickname.
