Mount Ainslie Lookout
Walk, cycle or drive to the lookout and enjoy the impressive scenery, lovely at all times but a particular treat at sunrise and sunset.
Take in Lake Burley Griffin and many of Canberra's national attractions, framed by picturesque mountain ranges.
See how Walter Burley Griffin’s vision for the city has been brought to life.
A hotspot for photographers, the vista is complemented by the abundance of native birds and wildlife.

“Best view!”
A taxi driver put me onto this lookout - said it was the best in the city and I would agree. Midweek the lookout was empty (and very windy) but ticked the box and the kids were happy. Would recommend.

“A view of the city and its surrounding areas”
It can be a little breezy up here but well worth the drive up to it
A fantastic overview of Canberra and it’s suburbs all laid out in front of you

“A panoramic view to hold”
A great view of all of Canberra with Parliament house being the focal point. Only takes about 10 mins drive from Canberra CBD.
