Brisbane has a subtropical climate perfect for an outdoor lifestyle. With open parklands, public spaces & the great Brisbane River at its heart, Brisbane is a city that is meant to be enjoyed outdoors.
Exploring Brisbane's heart is easy. The compact city centre is situated on a
single bend of the river with museums, galleries & heritage buildings all
easily accessible. For a change of pace you can take a river cruise, or
visit one of the wildlife sanctuaries located around the greater Brisbane area.
Brisbane's warm evenings are perfect for enjoying the city
nightlife. Live music, clubs & bars to suit all tastes can be found
across the city. Some of the most popular spots are located in the Riverside
quarter, at Caxton Street, & in Fortitude Valley.
The Queensland Performing Arts Complex is the city's cultural hub with three theatres, a concert hall & the Queensland Conservatorium of Music. The program at the Performing Arts Centre includes blockbuster musicals, theatre, ballet, opera & concerts.
Take the short walk from South Bank across the Victoria Bridge to
Brisbane's city centre. The heart of the city is the Queen Street Mall, a lively public
space with a blend of historical & contemporary architecture. A
great place to enjoy lunch in the sun & be entertained by buskers.
The inner city arts precinct of New Farm, Newstead & Fortitude Valley is a mix of renovated warehouse lofts
& new apartments, as well as older
apartment blocks & restored historic homes.
Moreton Bay, less than half an hour from the city centre offers a variety of water sports in a quiet beachside village environment. The famous beaches and resorts of the Sunshine & Gold Coasts are just over one hour's drive away.
