Darwin Travel Safety Guide — Australia

Safety Score: 7.5/10 · Value: 7/10 · Beauty: 7.8/10

Darwin is unlike anywhere else in Australia, a tropical, multicultural frontier city of 150,000 that serves as the gateway to some of the continent's most spectacular wilderness. Kakadu National Park (UNESCO) is 3 hours away, Litchfield National Park (termite mounds, plunge pools) is 90 minutes, and Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) is 3 hours. Darwin itself has recovered completely from Cyclone Tracy (1974) and offers a vibrant waterfront, extraordinary sunsets over the Timor Sea, and a thriving Southeast Asian food scene.
