Darwin surprises most people because they’re not expecting a bustling, modern capital city of 105,730 people, sitting on one of Australia’s prettiest harbours. Darwin has everything you imagine a capital city should have.

For visitors looking for authentic Aboriginal artwork, Darwin has an extensive selection of galleries and shops.

The weather is tropical – always warm, sometimes humid and with lots of sunshine. You’ll find plenty of attractions for your entertainment. Darwin boasts nightclubs, theatres, a casino and a smorgasbord of restaurants. For those who love to shop Darwin has several large shopping centres and fabulous multicultural markets.

Whether you’re interested in discovering more about the natural environment, Aboriginal culture or the pioneering history of Darwin, you can see it all at the various attractions and national parks scattered throughout the region.

Darwin is the starting point for your holiday to the Top End and the gateway to a range of attractions within easy driving distance. The east offers the waterfalls, wetlands, and wildlife of Australia's own Kakadu National Park including the untravelled beauty of Arnhem Land and, the sailing and game fishing playgrounds of the Gove Peninsula. With all this, Darwin has something for everyone.
