* Book hotels 2-3 weeks in advance for the best rates, especially during busy months like March for festivals and October for Floriade.

* Consider staying near City Hill for easy access to attractions via Canberra's pedestrian-friendly layout.

* Public transport is limited; renting a car is the best way to explore the surrounding national parks and suburbs.

* Winter (June-August) can be chilly, so ensure your accommodation offers adequate heating if visiting during this season.

* Look for hotels offering free parking if you plan to drive, as parking in central Canberra can be costly.
