Darwin Attractions
Markets, restaurants, culture events and festivals and natural attractions: this city has it all! Darwin Australia is the capital of the Northern Territory, and is about 80km south of the beautiful Tiwi islands.
With your map of Darwin, get out into the warm sunny Darwin weather and start exploring. Start your journey with a visit to the Parap Markets and the Mindil Beach Markets, or perhaps check out some unique Aboriginal Australian paintings at one of the many art galleries. Darwin has the largest proportional population of Aboriginal Australians out of any capital city, with much aboriginal art to admire.
If you are a nature buff you will love the Lichfield National Park and the Charles Darwin National Park. Or, you can admire the city and its surrounds from a new vantage point on a Darwin harbour cruise.
Sporty types will relish a chance to take part in some Darwin fishing, or you could simply enjoy fish feeding. The Darwin Beer Can Regatta is another must for sport lovers – see if you can keep afloat on a boat made entirely out of beer cans! On dry land you can enjoy the best that golf Darwin has to offer.
If you like adventure, you can check out the thousands of saltwater crocs on the Darwin Crocodile Farm, or pay a visit to the spooky Fannie Bay Gaol.
One of the biggest drawcards to Darwin, Northern Territory is the Darwin Festival, a vibrant cultural and arts festival that is held yearly. Plan your trip around this event, or simply pop over to Darwin for a bit of relaxation and year-round entertainment.
