Overview

Journey through the private Parliament House courtyards this spring. On this tour you will learn about Parliament House's stunning landscape architecture and design. See how sculptures, plant selections and colours make each courtyard unique. Led by a friendly guide, this private walking tour is a rare opportunity to see the beautiful blooming flowers in courtyards not normally open to the public.

Accessible tours are also running. Please visit the website for dates and times. These tours will move at a slower pace, allowing visitors to pause and reflect in quiet courtyards.
