A tropical paradise with an endless summer

Darwin is the multicultural coastal hub of the Northern Territory. While a gateway to some of Northern Australia’s most stunning natural wonders, Darwin itself is a place for you to indulge in the Top End’s laid back tropical lifestyle. 


Darwin city has been transformed in recent years to become a vibrant centre for street art, bars and restaurants. The city has grown into an unexpected foodie paradise with a refreshing mix of local markets, funky cafes and restaurants with an eclectic range of cuisines. 


Stroll the leafy streets, explore the beaches and tidal flats or relax poolside and enjoy Darwin’s endless summer.
