Darwin, Northern Territory

From the sparkling harbour and WWII history to the city's Asian-influenced food and tropical outdoor lifestyle, Darwin is an adventurers' paradise.

Treat your tastebuds and indulge your sense of fun and adventure in the Territory’s tropical capital city. Darwin is world famous for its fabulous food, colourful outdoor markets and a diverse bag of adventure activities.

Food, glorious food

At the heart of any Darwin experience is sensational food.

The city’s dining hub is bursting with restaurants. Share a real Italian pizza at a waterfront eatery, book a five-star degustation dinner or try a laksa that tastes just as it would served from a Malaysian warung. Choose local mud crab or barramundi for the ultimate fresh seafood experience.

Magical markets

Local markets are a big part of Darwin’s personality. At the famous Mindil Beach Sunset Markets there are over 200 locals stalls to explore. Why not sample some international cuisine or find the perfect gift among stalls of art and craft, then relax with a local ice-cream or mango smoothie as fire twirlers, musicians and street performers entertain the crowds.
