Capital of the Sunshine State, inner-city Brisbane is fast becoming a rival to urban hubs like Sydney and Melbourne, with shopping districts, cultural precincts and beautiful parks demonstrating how far it’s come from its country-town origins. Despite the glittering skyscrapers and seething boulevards, you can still feel the relaxed ambience and casual friendliness of the locals, making it the perfect destination for an urban getaway.
Brisbane’s CBD is packed with the usual array of boutique stores and upscale shops, which congregate along Queen Street Mall, a pedestrian boulevard given over to the sheer fun of shopping. Close by, the iconic Story Bridge spans the Brisbane River, providing visitors with great photo ops and scenic views of the city. If you’re looking to get in touch with the local foodie scene, Fortitude Valley is a blur of nocturnal activity, with an eclectic range of eateries, clubs and bars dedicated to spicing up the night.
Lying adjacent to the CBD is South Bank, which houses many of Brisbane’s most beautiful attractions, like the Wheel of Brisbane, Streets Beach and Kangaroo Point. You’ll also encounter a diversity of galleries and museums, including the Gallery of Modern Art, Queensland Museum, Queensland Performing Arts Centre (which regularly hosts great shows and theatre productions) and the Queensland Maritime Museum.
Mount Coot-tha is the go-to destination for Brisbanites who want to get back in touch with nature. Just a stone’s throw from the CBD, you’ll be able to experience authentic Australian bushland by walking along dedicated hiking trails, or relax in manicured gardens designed to showcase floral beauty. Thrill-seekers will be pleased to know that the area is also scheduled to have a series of kilometre-long ziplines installed, allowing families and friends to zoom from Mount Coot-tha’s Summit Lookout to the Brisbane Botanic Gardens while witnessing some of Brisbane’s most breathtaking views.
