What to Do
If you like nature, you will love Brisbane. The parklands located in the South Bank area can take much of your day. Plan to take long walks in South Bank Parklands and then go to Victoria Bridge. You might want to take a ferry ride and enjoy the scenery. Close by you will also find Queensland Performing Arts Center.
While visiting South Bank Parklands you might be amazed to find a man-made beach. But there is nothing artificial about it. The sand is real and so are the palm tries, fishes and the lifeguards.
The City Botanic Gardens are famous for its special collection of figs, bamboo, palms and cycads. It’s one of the oldest gardens in the city, being home to rare and unusual species. The gardens are also popular among office workers who prefer to come and enjoy their lunch on the grass.
Brisbane Botanic Garden is located just outside the city. One of the most popular attractions is the Japanese Garden. The theme of the garden is reflected in the water feature. The most interesting part of the garden, however, is the stones which form the mountain and the waterfall, suggesting “endurance and the eternal passing of time”.
Brisbane is also home to museums and galleries, such as: Brisbane City Gallery, Queensland Art Gallery, Queensland Maritime Museum or Queensland Museum
You should visit the Old Windmill, Brisbane’s oldest surviving building, built originally as a corn mill.
The State Parliament House, the Old Government House and the Brisbane City Hall are also important landmarks.
If you feel lucky, visit the Treasury Casino and if you itch for some shopping, take your time and explore Queen Street Mall.
Dance the night away or relax in one of the city’s nightclubs. If you like chillout or electronic music, try Jorge, located in the city center, while if you want to listen to live music, go to Tongue & Groove (located in West End).
