Set on a rocky peninsula that stretches into a beautiful natural harbour, the city is surrounded by water on three sides which provides a cool breeze to counter the hot weather. The tropical climate encourages outdoor living, so you can enjoy strolling through the streets, browsing art galleries and enjoying refreshments at sidewalk cafes. You'll find shaded parks behind busy shopping streets.
 
Darwin is a youthful, tropical city, small enough to feel friendly and relaxed, and a great travel hub for exploring the incredible natural wonders which are on the doorstep of this wonderful city.
