Why it's worth checking out
The Manuka Shopping Precinct sits around Franklin Street and the Manuka Arcade in Manuka, one of Canberra's most stylish inner-south precincts. With more than 1,000 reviews behind its 4.2 rating, it's a much-loved destination.
The appeal is a lovely mix of shops, cafes and dining — a fashionable precinct with boutiques, restaurants, cafes and bars, a genuine hub in the heart of Manuka and a lovely spot to browse, dine or fold into a day out. Its location, close to Kingston and the parliamentary precinct, makes it an easy and pleasant stop.
Individual venues, stores and trading hours change over time. If you're heading in for a particular spot, it's worth checking current details directly before you go — otherwise it's a lovely precinct to wander.
