If you are in Australia, you cannot miss a trip to Canberra, the capital! Located 280km from Sydney, Canberra is a city of 350,000 people and serves as the nation's capital and the hub of its political and administrative life.
Our first stop is the National Museum of Australia. It is an attractive site with a stunning exterior where unique sculptures blend with a beautiful backdrop. Inside, you can learn about the history of Australia's Indigenous peoples and the era of early settlement.
The Embassy District is home to 77 embassies located in Canberra. It includes the Embassy of the Republic of Korea alongside many others. It is fun to walk around and admire the buildings, each reflecting the unique characteristics of its respective country.
Shall we also explore the Australian Parliament House, a landmark and a must-visit spot in Canberra? Built to commemorate the bicentenary of Australia, this site was designed by the famous American architect Burley Griffin. Enjoy the beautiful scenery as it harmonizes with the lake. An interior tour is also included.
Finally, we visit the Australian War Memorial. In a solemn atmosphere, you will find monuments, weapons, fighter jets, and tanks on display. Let's take a moment to learn about Australia's history in World War I and II, and reflect on the horrors of war and the pain shared by people around the world that we must all remember.
