10 days in Darwin Itinerary

The smallest of Australia’s state capitals, Darwin has nevertheless become an attractive and important urban center, being simultaneously one of the country’s most modernized cities and a gateway to both the Top End region and South East Asia.

Do your shopping at Provenance Arts and Viva La Body. Step out of the city life by going to Nature & Wildlife Tours and Mindil Beach. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Darwin: Batchelor Butterfly Farm and Pet Garden (in Batchelor), Adelaide River (Adelaide River War Cemetery & Robin Falls) and Didgeridoo Hut & Art Gallery (in Humpty Doo). Next up on the itinerary: look for all kinds of wild species at Crocosaurus Cove, explore the galleries of Mason Gallery, make a splash at Darwin Waterfront, and see the interesting displays at Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory.
