Darwin, Australia

Executive summary by darmansjah
Awoken from its slumber as a sleepy outpost of the Top End, Darwin has transformed into a modern multi-cultural metropolis, its cosmopolitan mix of more than 50 nationalities – best showcased at the numerous markets around the city – add a dynamic layer to region’s long-standing and strong Aboriginal culture. It is hardly surprising that Darwin has earned its place as one of the Top 10 cities to visit in Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2012. Art galleries, museums, its bustling and colourful markets, and its burgeoning restaurant scene alone are reasons to visit, but just at the city’s doorstep are world-class wilderness areas including the exceptional Kakadu National Park, Litchfield National Park and Nitmiluk National Park.

Conveniently located at the city centre, Novotel Darwin Atrium is a short stroll from Michell Street dining and entertainment precinct. Its special feature is a magnificent tropical indoor rainforest and fine views from the upper floors (from US$140; novotel.com).
