Frommer's Review

The 195m (640-ft.) tower on the summit of Black Mountain is both landmark and must-see attraction for every first time visitor to Canberra. From the top, the open-air and enclosed viewing galleries provide magnificent 360-degree views over the city and the surrounding countryside. The tower also provides telecommunications facilities for the city and most people still refer to it by its former name, Telstra Tower. There's no bus service there.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
