Exquisite gardens, rugged landscapes and lush natural scenery have always been the Southern Highlands main drawcard. While the region is blessed with some of Australia's best private formal gardens, it also showcases an array of half day and full-day hikes and outdoor activities for nature-lovers.

As you venture through the charming towns, make a visit to the Highlands Art galleries and Museums. The local galleries exhibit exciting contemporary, classic and eclectic artworks from leading and emerging artists, while the historic museums bring to life the history of the district.
