Things to Know

Blessed with an idyllic subtropical climate all year round, and everything from relaxation through to adventure, Brisbane seems to have it all. Queensland’s buzzing capital is right in the middle of the ocean and national parks, set on the banks of the Brisbane River.

While it’s a hive of activity, the city remains true to the classic Queensland laid-back style and serves as the gateway to the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.


Getting Around

Brisbane is an easily navigable city, with public transport options including buses, trains, ferries, and trams, all payable using a Go Card, a contactless credit or debit card. 

One of the most scenic ways to get around is via a CityCat or ferry along the Brisbane River or heading out on one of many scenic trails.


Don’t Miss

Brisbane is Australia’s third biggest city, and with that comes a wealth of things to do. If you’re an art lover and want to explore the thriving Brisbane art scene, check out our guide to the top Brisbane art galleries.

If getting outdoors more tickles your fancy, don’t miss the incredible swimming spots or the stunning beaches to soak in the Queensland sun

Brisbane’s dining scene is also in fine form with so many amazing places to eat, whether you’re looking for a cute cafe for brunch or for a special meal at one of the city’s best restaurants.
