Explore Brisbane
Queensland’s sunny capital offers up laidback charm and urban energy with a dash of adventure!
Brisbane is a city that lives up to its sunny potential with a strong focus on the outdoors – think al fresco dining, picnics by the river, islands just off the coast and national parks. Add to this a dynamic cultural precinct, abundant wildlife and easy access to nearby icons like the Gold Coast and Great Barrier Reef, and you’ve got a destination you can’t say no to.
Below are some key attractions in Brisbane and it’s surroundings.
Brisbane City
For locals and visitors, The City is a dynamic hub filled with places to shop, dine, stay, and play. At the heart of it all is Queen Street Mall, where rich heritage and modern retail collide to create an unbeatable open-air promenade, nestled among an army of skyscrapers. Here you’ll find over 500 retailers, ranging from department stores to local and international designer precincts like Uptown, Wintergarden, QueensPlaza, and Brisbane Arcade.
