Darwin is an easygoing city with a diverse history, friendly people and unique landscape

The simplest way to enjoy Darwin is by walking and taking it in at your own pace. The attractions are close by and great cafes, restaurants, and bars are scattered throughout the town. The Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory showcases Australian Natural History and Aboriginal Art. You can hand feed schools of wild fish at Aquascene, and from April through to October, the Mindil Beach Sunset Markets operate. Running out of things to do? Take a day trip out of Darwin to see the inspiring Kakadu National Park.
