Best spot in town that you can capture the whole Canberra in one picture. Strongly recommended to take a Uber or taxi if not driving, because the footpath is kind of tricky to walk from City.

Wonderful views of the capital city and surrounding areas. You can see all the main landmarks from up here, including a great view from behind the War Memorial all the way down ANZAC Parade to Old Parliament House and the stunning architecture of Parliament House rising behind it.

The only disappointment was the absence of public toilets at such an iconic public place when we were there with a bus full of school students. That’s an oversight that local government needs to address,

The Mount Ainslie Lookout in Canberra is simply fantastic! The view is breathtaking, and the best part is how quick and easy it is to get there. Whether you're a local or a visitor, the panoramic scenes make the journey entirely worth it. Five stars for an outstanding lookout that combines accessibility with a spectacular view!

Great views of Canberra city and its surrounding areas. No public transport accessibility to this location. Carry your own water and food as needed. Resting area and water fillers available.

Very nice view at this lookout! There was a food/coffee truck but very pricy compare to other coffee van. I guess if you are desperate , then at least there is an option 😅

This is one of the highlights of our Canberra visit.
We went after sunset, thinking we might miss the best sunset, but the night view was mesmerising as well.

This is one of the getaway places where you want to sit down, relax, and enjoy the view.
I could imagine the view during air balloning season or any air show.

I think the weather was kind with us :).

It was clear sky with excellent visibility that made our day.

Have a good time all.
