Exploring the Australian Capital Territory in your rental car
A laid-back pulse runs through the Australian Capital Territory. Surrounded by lush greenery and located in between the two cities of Sydney and Melbourne, the Australian Capital Territory has access to both the relaxing nature and the convenient, bustling city. It’s no wonder that this unique blend of nature and city life draws visitors from far and wide. Upon your arrival, pick up your car rental from one of many Hertz car rental locations and start your adventure.
Get acquainted with Australia’s striking art galleries and museums and capture the city’s creative side as you stroll through Canberra, the capital of the Australian Capital Territory. Drive your comfy car rental down to Canberra’s National Library where its architectural wonder mesmerises and captivates. The National Gallery of Australia also boasts a stunning sculpture garden that is not to be missed. For all the history buffs, head over to the Australian War Memorial for an afternoon of eye-opening experiences and engaging activities. Canberra Glassworks is another spot for all things related to the art of glass making, craft and design. Fancy a unique souvenir? Partake in one of the workshops and bring home a creation of your own!
One of the best ways to experience culture is through its food. The Australian Capital Territory is blessed with a multicultural population and this means that the city is gifted with a dizzying array of cuisines. Embark on a food crawl in your Australian Capital Territory car rental by starting off with hearty farm to table breakfast at one of the food joints in the city or get your caffeine fix at one of the inviting cafes. Dig into a scrumptious lunch that is delightfully plated and served at one of the world-class restaurants and finally, don your finest attire and finish your day off with a classy dinner at a fine dining restaurant. Rest assured that you won’t compromise on taste if you opt for more budget friendly options, as Canberra has food joints to suit every palette and pocket.
It is a known fact that more than half of the Australian Capital Territory is either a nature reserve or a national park, making it a hotbed for hiking trails. Be awed by the abundant wildlife and stunning bushland as you hike through Namadgi National Park and get schooled on the rich aboriginal history and culture as you explore the well-maintained art sites where they have left their mark in human history.
The best way to understand their way of life is to follow what the locals do. Hop on your car rental and head to Canberra’s Hartley Hall Markets to join the locals on their weekend grocery runs. Another interesting attraction that is worth visiting is the Old Bus Depot Markets in Canberra where visitors might pick up some handicrafts, clothing and vintage items.
The state’s alluring and lively energy is sure to make your holiday memorable. The Australian Capital Territory awaits you!
