 The second largest city in the Northern Territories state of Australia, Alice Springs, occupies a somewhat isolated position in the geographical centre of the country.
Although the city is surrounded by arid desert, the city nethertheless attracts a large number of international visitors throughout the year. This popularity is in part due to the city's relatively close proximity to the infamous Australian landmark of Uluru, or Ayers rock as it was previously and more recognisably known.
As well as accommodating visitors to the rock, the relatively large numbers of Alice Springs accommodation also house the large influx of tourists wishing to experience all that the Australian art capital has to offer.
Alice Springs has achieved this title due to the large number of both indigenous Aboriginal and local art galleries to be found throughout the city. The city is also the host of the annual Bass in the Dust music festival. This is in complete contrast to Araluen Centre for Arts and Entertainment, the venue for world renowned orchestras and ballet performances.
The unique Camel Cup racing also attracts a large number of visitors to this fascinating desert city.
