Holidays in Watson

Do you check out every travel deal that drops into your inbox? Find yourself frequently stalking travel hashtags? You could do with a getaway and Watson, a neighbourhood in Canberra, is calling your name. The capital of Australia is home to around 370,000 people and a fantastic place to really get feel for the nation's culture and history. Watson is 6 kilometres northeast of the city's centre. If you're arriving in Canberra International Airport, throw your suitcase in the boot of a taxi and head 9 kilometres north.

A good deal of this city's leading attractions are sprinkled near Watson, and Parliament House and the Australian War Memorial are some of the most impressive. Don't forget to put the National Gallery of Australia and the National Museum of Australia on your itinerary too. For a new perspective on Canberra, venture to Downer and Dickson, close-by neighbourhoods that are definitely worth a peek.

You'll never be without things to do in the centre of the city. The National Zoo and Aquarium and Telstra Tower will keep you busy for hours. Old Parliament House and the Australian National Botanic Gardens should also be part of any outing downtown.

Check for any special events before making your way over to peruse the displays and exhibits at the National Film & Sound Archive and the Australian Army Memorial.

Get outdoors and appreciate the landscapes at Mount Ainslie, the Floriade, Lake Burley Griffin and Mount Majura.

Whether you're in the mood to go for a relaxing wander or hang out with some friends, the nearby urban parks are delightful places to be. Your options include City Hill, Glebe Park, Commonwealth Park and Ataturk Memorial garden.

There's nothing better than indulging in some retail therapy. Give your wallet a workout at Canberra Centre and Capital Region Farmers Market.

You never know what stories will unfold at the Australian Vietnam Forces National Memorial, the Changi Chapel, Deasland Homestead and the National Capital Exhibition. These historic sites have plenty of tales to share.

Local sacred places, such as Wattle Park Uniting Church, Canberra City Church and Sakyamuni Buddhist Centre, give you the opportunity to ponder in a calming setting.

Don't miss the opportunity to be inside the hallowed grounds of Manuka Oval. Grab tickets to a live game of cricket in your blue and yellow and witness home team the ACT Comets attempt to claim glory. Or, come down and show your support for the GWS Giants or the Eastlake FC, a couple of other teams who call this venue home.
