Canberra holidays

Food, fun and flowers are three words that could be used to sum up with a holiday to Canberra. Located on the south-east corner of Australia between Sydney and Melbourne, there’s plenty to see and do in this east-coast city that loves its laid-back lifestyle and welcomes visitors with open arms.

The capital of Australia and home of its parliament, Canberra is gaining a reputation as the nation’s coolest city – and it’s not just because of the pleasant year-round temperatures. It’s a cultural hub with a choice of museums and galleries to visit. Each year the area explodes into a rainbow of colours as the spring flowers come into bloom. 

It’s also an important centre for agriculture, so you’ll find delicious local produce gracing the tables of the many top restaurants and hip cafés in the city. And if you’re yearning for the beach, the soft white sand and crystal clear waters of Jervis Bay are only a two-hour drive away.

Whether you’re travelling as a couple or with the family, a Canberra holiday package with Qatar Airways Holidays let you make the most of all that’s going on.

Get outside to enjoy the great outdoors with an abseil down the huge granite outcrops at the nearby Namadgi National Park, try paddle boarding on Lake Burley Griffin, or hire a bike at Stromlo Forest Park

Discover the many native flowers and plants at the National Botanic Gardens in Canberra, where you’ll find over 6,000 Australian species growing

Keep your eyes peeled for koalas, kangaroos, emus and wombats during a bushwalk in Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, 40 minutes drive from the city

Sit back and enjoy local, seasonal food and drink at the many restaurants, bars and cafés.
