Dall'effervescente porto e la storia della seconda guerra mondiale, al cibo della città con influenza asiatica e lo stile di vita tropicale all'aperto, Darwin è il paradiso per gli avventurieri.

Attiva le tue papille gustative e goditi un senso di divertimento e di avventura nella capitale tropicale del Territorio. Darwin è famosa nel mondo per il suo favoloso cibo, i mercati colorati all'aperto e un pacchetto diversificato di attività avventurose.

Il cibo, il cibo glorioso

Al centro di ogni esperienza a Darwin c'è suo il cibo sensazionale.

Il centro della città è ricco di ristoranti: condividi una vera pizza italiana in un ristorante sul lungomare, prenota una cena a cinque stelle con degustazione o prova un laksa, che ha un sapore proprio come se fosse servito da un warung malese. Scegli un locale granchio del fango o un barramundi per assaggiare il top del pesce fresco.

Dining and entertainment

Mercati magici

I mercati locali sono una parte importante della personalità di Darwin. Presso i famosi mercati Mindil Beach Sunset gusta la cucina internazionale di circa 60 bancarelle di cibo - turco, greco, cambogiano, giapponese e dello Sri Lanka - e gustalo sulla spiaggia mentre il sole affonda nell'oceano.

Dopo cena, trova il regalo perfetto tra bancarelle di arte e artigianato, poi rilassati con un gelato locale o un frullato di mango, mentre giocolieri con il fuoco, musicisti e artisti di strada intrattengono le folle.

Cosa da fare e da vedere a Darwin

 

TERRITORIO D'AVVENTURA

All'interno del territorio di Darwin si possono trovare tutti i tipi di avventure.

Cavalca le onde in una piscina a onde, osserva un coccodrillo nella 'gabbia della morte', o lancia una lenza dal molo di Darwin, famoso nel mondo per i suoi pesci che sono regolarmente catturati a distanza ravvicinata.

La ricca storia di questa città contrasta con la sua popolazione giovane. Scopri la corsa all'oro del 1870, i bombardamenti giapponesi nella seconda guerra mondiale e la decimazione degli abitanti della città nel 1974 a causa del ciclone Tracy, oltre agli eccellenti musei e monumenti della città.

Quando è il momento di rilassarsi

Guarda un film sotto le stelle presso il Deckchair Cinema, sali a bordo di uno yacht di lusso o di un delizioso pearl lugger per una crociera con cena intorno al magnifico porto di Darwin al tramonto.
