When you visit Brisbane, you’ll discover a hip and vivid city with a sunny, sub-tropical climate and unique natural beauty. Combine interesting art and exciting outdoor adventures in Brisbane, where South Bank’s cultural buildings and restaurants meet riverside gardens and a lagoon.
To get an exhilarating view over the city, climb the Brisbane’s famous Story Bridge. Whether you climb during the day or at night, you will always discover breathtaking sights north to the Glasshouse Mountains and south to the Gold Coast Hinterland. If that is still not enough for you, keep the adrenalin going with a 30-metre abseil back down.
One of Brisbane’s singularities is a beach in the heart of the city. The man-made city beach is free to use and features a lagoon surrounded by sand and sub-tropical plants. Enjoy an ice cream and have a swim directly in the middle of a busy city. The water-play park Aquativity is located straight next to the city beach and offers especially young families a fun time.
Brisbane’s South Bank includes 17 hectares of parklands, restaurants, cafes and museums and is famous for its mix of leisure activities and recreation. You can walk or cycle around South Bank and see the best of the city at the same time. For another good glimpse over the whole city, take a ride on the Wheel of Brisbane.
This folksy market in Stanley Street Plaza offers unique and fancy clothing by emerging, young designers. It is held on Friday evenings and weekends. While looking over handmade jewellery, art, antiques and vintage fashion, you have the opportunity to listen to some good live music.
One of the best and most famous restaurants in Brisbane, where you can enjoy a perfect meal combined with an amazing view of Story Bridge and the river, is Esquire. Dine a la carte or choose the degustation menu from chef Ryan Squires, matched with Australian and international wines. Other highly recommended restaurants in Brisbane are Gerard’s Bistro, Public, Aria, Stokehouse and The Foraging Quail.
Australia's largest gallery of modern and contemporary art, GoMA, and the famous Queensland Art Gallery are architectural wonders themselves. Besides their impressive appearance, they showcase a diversity of Australian and international art as well as two galleries devoted to contemporary Indigenous work. Friday nights are perfect for drinks in GoMA’s stylish bar.
