Things To See and Do
South Bank
South Bank,
Brisbane City
Would you like to..
The very definition of 'a place for the people', South Bank is Brisbane's vibrant inner city playground.
With a stunning riverside location, first-time visitors will be taken aback by the man made lagoon and white sand beaches that have skyscrapers, passenger boats and speeding ferries as a backdrop. Few cities in the world boast such a facility - and as you'll soon discover - enjoying a swim in the lagoon, a doze on the beach or a picnic in the park is the perfect way to relax and enjoy the balmy climate.
South Bank is so much more than a place to take it easy in the sun. There's a real energy here, and the place always seems to be buzzing with action.
There is also the Queensland Culture Precinct, home to the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) - the Queensland Art Gallery's second building, the State library of Queensland, the Queensland Museum, Queensland Conservatorium and the Queensland Performing Arts Centre where you can enjoy some enthralling theatre, ballet, orchestral concerts and opera.
Easily accessible from the centre of Brisbane by public transport or by walking through the Botanic Gardens and over the Goodwill footbridge, South Bank is not to be missed.
