Bowral has become the unofficial capital of the Southern Highlands and as such, hosts many boutique stores, restaurants and cafes. Although people tend to visit the Southern Highlands to get away from big city living, almost anything you could want can be found in Bowral. From art galleries, wineries to weekend markets, every weekend is filled with things to see and do.

With the Southern Highlands having very distinct seasons, many tourists find the best time to visit Bowral would be during either autumn or spring. During autumn, the trees explode with bright reds and oranges, and the air has a crispness that can only be experienced at a higher altitude. Spring on the other hand finds the area bloom with vibrant springtime annuals such as the popular tulip, and many of the local gardens become open to the public, including one of the most esteemed gardens in the world, the famous Milton Park.

During spring, Bowral's annual Tulip Time event becomes one of the Highland's biggest annual attractions, bringing in many thousands of visitors every year. Corbett Gardens, found smack bang in the middle of Bowral, displays a huge array of Tulips, as well as other bright and vibrant springtime bulbs, shrubs and trees.
If youre seeking activities a visit to the Bradman Museum of International Cricket in Bowral is well worth doing for its extensive collection of cricket memorabilia.

Activities and things to do in the Southern Highlands include hiking, trekking, and bushwalking while abseiling, rock climbing and kayaking are available at many of the State and National Parks in the area.
