About these results
For the best views over Canberra, head up. These lookouts reward you with sweeping cityscapes, coastline or hills — often at their finest at sunrise or sunset.
Listings are compiled from each venue's own published information and Google Places data, and ordered by Spot Score — a composite of attributed ratings, review volume, category fit and information freshness, not a firsthand review. Hours-based filters use published opening hours, which are not kitchen or last-order times. Sponsored placements are labelled and never counted in results. Spotted an error? Send a correction.

What are the best lookouts in Canberra?+

How is the Canberra lookouts ranking decided?+

Can I filter lookouts by suburb or price?+
Yes. Use the filters to narrow by suburb, minimum Google rating, price level, whether a place is open now according to its published hours, and features such as dog-friendly or outdoor seating. A filter only matches venues whose details state that feature.
