When is the best time to go to Canberra?
The best time to visit Canberra is during spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) when the weather is mild and the city's natural beauty is at its peak.

Spring brings comfortable temperatures, superb for exploring the city's many outdoor attractions. This season is particularly well-suited for those who appreciate gardens and floral displays, as the city comes alive with blooming flowers, especially during the annual Floriade festival in Commonwealth Park. It's a great time for couples to enjoy strolls around Lake Burley Griffin or visit the National Botanic Gardens.

Autumn offers similarly pleasant weather, with clear skies and comfortable temperatures ideal for walking and cycling. The city's many trees display a stunning array of colours, particularly around the parliamentary triangle and in the inner-south suburbs. This period is excellent for families looking to explore national institutions like the National Museum of Australia or Questacon without the summer heat or winter chill.
