Why it's worth checking out
The National Triangle sits at the heart of Canberra, the ceremonial precinct framing the city's most important national institutions in the ACT.
The appeal is a genuine slice of the nation's civic heart — the celebrated triangle of land bounded by the major avenues, home to Parliament House, the lake and many of Canberra's national landmarks, a lovely area for a walk, a look and taking in the grand design of the capital. A 4.4 rating from 14 reviews reflects its standing as a much-loved area.
The precinct is largely open and accessible, though individual institutions have their own hours and arrangements, so check current details if you're planning around something specific. Otherwise it's a lovely, free area to explore — bring water, sun protection, comfortable shoes and your camera.
