Brisbane: Top Attractions in Brisbane

Q: What is Brisbane best known for?

Brisbane is best known for its cultural diversity, the chill vibe of its people and how its reflected through the city’s popular attractions, as well as its distinctly “Queenslander” architecture. It has an abundance of parks and is close to many natural wonders, too.

Q: When is the best time to visit Brisbane?

The best times to visit Brisbane are the months of March to May, which comprises the country’s autumn season. The weather might be a little hot but you’ll be able to enjoy the outdoors of this fair city without worrying about rainfall. You can also visit during September so you can take part in the Brisbane Festival.

Q: Where is the best location for tourists to stay in Brisbane?

The Central Business District is one of the best places for tourists to stay in Brisbane because it’s close to some of the most popular park areas like the Brisbane Botanical Garden and Roma Street Parkland. South Brisbane is also a good choice because there are many museums in the area. If you want to be close to the city’s festive nightlife, staying in Fortitude Valley is your best choice.

The capital of Queensland, Brisbane, is a sophisticated metropolis with an emerging food scene and exciting, up-and-coming cultural developments. With subtropical weather year round, this city is ideal if you love warm weather and want to meet other travelers heading north.

This city on the rise has much to offer: take a Grand Brisbane Tour for stunning views at Mt Coot-tha Lookout, visits to Moreton and Stradbroke islands, and see the cuddly koalas at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. Try going on a relaxing cruise along the Brisbane River, the longest river in South East Queensland, or explore the fascinating 135-year-history of XXXX, Australia’s number one beer, in a fun brewery tour.

Fantastic 5.0

Great room, location and super friendly and helpful staff. This was my second time staying at the point and once again I was really happy. The one thing I will say though, a microwave in the room, especially for longer stays would be nice.

Great 4.0

Overall great stay, good dual cycle air conditioning unit, lovely spot in the CBD and easy to walk to restaurants around us. We just wished the internet worked instead of constantly dropping out, and also that we had a proper blanket instead of just a sheet during winter.

Great 4.0

The room wasn't cleaned very well, there was a lot of dust, and I even felt a bit itchy. The front desk staff was a little rude. However, the location is really convenient; if you need to transfer to a domestic flight, you can just walk there.

Fantastic 5.0

We had a wonderful experience on the Koala Cruise to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. I’d like to commend Roby and the two crew members for their exceptional service throughout the trip. The commentaries were both informational and interesting, and aside from the trip itself, the views of Brisbane and its suburbs along the river were also exceptional. I also appreciated the lounge area, which was perfect for having snacks while traveling to and from the sanctuary. Highly recommended!

Fantastic 5.0

Arrived very quickly. Unfortunately, we arrived later in the day, and the buses only ran every half hour, so we had to wait almost another half hour. It would be better if the buses ran more frequently.

Fantastic 5.0

Although this is cheaper and flexible, it's inconvenient to push heavy luggages for transferring by train and tram. When visiting, there was track closure and I had to take additional bus in-between closed stations. It took me almost 3 hours to reach my hotel in Surfers Paradise. Try this if you are not in a rush. Value for money.
