The capital of Australia, Canberra offers visitors a relief from clogged streets and heavy traffic with wide streets, open spaces, parklands, monuments and plenty to do from taking a balloon ride to visiting museums and galleries like the National Gallery of Australia, the Australian War Memorial, and the National Museum of Australia. But tourists can also visit and enjoy some other worthwhile places including the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex, which tracks many of NASA's ongoing space journeys through the solar system as well as Questacon--The National Science and Technology Centre, which has interesting science-based interactive, hands-on activities the whole family will enjoy. Canberra also offers plenty of restaurants that feature a wide variety of dining choices from Australian, to Asian, Italian, and French.
