Description
You know you've arrived in Brisbane once you catch a glimpse of the iconic Story Bridge as a CityCat glides underneath, creating glistening ripples in the winding Brisbane River. The city's most recognisable natural landmark takes centre stage and is lined with Brisbane's finest alfresco restaurants and sophisticated bars, offering unmasked views and complimenting the city's celebrated outdoor lifestyle.
... moreIf you can tear yourself away from the cool riverside breezes, you'll find yourself in the bustling Queen Street Mall, the shopping strip famous for its 700 plus specialty stores, free live entertainment, restaurants, cafes and bars.
Take a break in the inner-city sanctuary of the Botanic Gardens, home to lush stretches of green grass and exotic and native plants. Relax at Roma Street Parklands, the world's largest subtropical garden in a city centre.
Getting around the city is an effortless journey due to the compact nature of the Central Business District. With major attractions, restaurants and hotels clustered around the river peninsula, Brisbane is most easily explored on foot with the streets laid out in a grid-like system, leaving little chance for disorientation.
