The city of Brisbane is a modern and diverse subtropical metropolis and it offers visitors a city experience in a warm, friendly and relaxed environment.
Known as the City of Sun Days, Brisbane is situated on the Brisbane River surrounded by the misty blue hills on Australia's east coast.
The third largest city in Australia, Brisbane is quintessentially Australian; the big city package exists here but the pretensions and speed are refreshingly absent. Shiny new modernity sits alongside heritage wooden cottages and pretty parks, and amongst the sweet scent of tropical frangipani you will find great arts and culture; an array of top international restaurants lining the leafy banks of the river, street cafes and a penchant for al fresco dining.
The sparkling Brisbane River runs through the heart of the city and a great way to get to see Brisbane is to jump on one of the CityCat ferries. After your cruise, stroll through the Southbank area and relax in one of the many open air café's and restaurants that abound.
A pedestrian and cycle bridge links Southbank to the Botanical Gardens which are home to hundreds of water birds such as herons and plovers which are attracted to the lakes dotted throughout the gardens 44 acres.
The city centre provides all the shopping and restaurants you would expect of a major city and for an altogether different insight into Queensland culture there are guided tours around the Castlemaine 4X brewery.
Ride the CityCat ferry along the Brisbane River and get a local’s perspective on Brisbane life.
For amazing panoramic views of the city head for Mt Cootha lookout.
Take a leisurely walk along Southbank; a great place for restaurants, markets and the city beach.
