We hold 101 venues in Canberra — 90 places to eat and 11 to stay. That makes it the 2nd-largest of the 94 towns and suburbs we cover in Australian Capital Territory, carrying 9% of the region's venues.

Of the places to eat, 52% are cafés against a national figure of 30%. Canberra is 22 points more café-heavy than the country as a whole, which usually points to daytime and weekend trade rather than an evening dining scene. The full split is 47 cafés, 35 restaurants, 4 takeaways, 3 bars and 1 pubs.

28 of the 90 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are coffee shop (7), asian (3) and chinese (3). Relative to the rest of the country Canberra is unusually strong on asian, coffee shop and chinese — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.

On the practical detail: 32 publish opening hours (32%), 9 are recorded as step-free, 14 have outdoor seating and 3 flag vegetarian options. Coverage here is better than the 17% national average, so the hours below are more reliable than most.

For a bed, Canberra runs to 11 listings — 8 hotels, 1 serviced apartments and 2 holiday parks and campgrounds. Hotels dominate, at 73% of the town's accommodation.

Places of a similar size — Dandenong (101), Port Douglas (100), Box Hill (100) and Gosford (103) — average 14% accommodation. Canberra runs at 11%, much the same, so on this measure it behaves like its peers.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 2 of the 101 venues in Canberra carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
