Things to do in Brisbane
Local picks, what's actually on, and places worth leaving the hotel for.
Brisbane, Queensland's river city, wraps around a bend of the Brisbane River with South Bank's parkland, lagoon and cultural precinct on one side and the CBD on the other. Riverside dining, the Story Bridge, West End's food scene and easy day trips to the bay islands and Mount Coot-tha give it a relaxed, sub-tropical rhythm. It's warm most of the year and made for walking, CityCat ferries and eating outdoors. — Sunny 🐾
