Why it's worth checking out
The Canberra Times Fountain sits in the heart of Canberra's city centre in the ACT. A 4.5 rating from 72 reviews marks it as a well-loved landmark.
The appeal is a lovely city feature — a fountain that's a genuine landmark in central Canberra, a nice spot for a pause, a photo and a bit of the city's character while you're exploring Civic. Its central location makes it an easy and pleasant stop.
Outdoor landmarks and their surrounds can change over time and fountains may run seasonally, so check current details if you're planning around something specific. Otherwise it's a lovely free spot to take in while you enjoy the city centre.
