# Top 10 Things To Do in Brisbane

Brisbane, Australia · Oceania · By Wimup Editorial, 15 min read

Brisbane is a subtropical river city that spent the last decade rebuilding its own waterfront, and it shows. The Story Bridge has a climb, Howard Smith Wharves underneath it has a brewery, and a 460 metre pedestrian bridge lands you at Kangaroo Point. Winter is dry and 21°C, and the whole transport network costs 50 cents a trip.

## Quick answer

Give Brisbane three days and spend two of them on the water. The river is the spine of the city: ride a CityCat for 50 cents, walk the Kangaroo Point cliffs to the green bridge that opened in December 2024, then cross to South Bank for a free gallery and a free swim. Day three belongs to a koala sanctuary, a lookout on Mount Coot-tha, or a ferry out to the sand islands in Moreton Bay.

## Quick facts

- **Best months:** Mar · Apr · May · Oct

## The 10 best things to do in Brisbane

### 1. Walk the length of South Bank Parklands

Parkland · Grey Street, South Brisbane QLD 4101

Seventeen hectares of riverfront left over from World Expo 88, and the piece of Brisbane that does the most work. The Arbour, a bougainvillea tunnel on 443 curling steel columns, runs the length of it; Streets Beach in the middle is a free lagoon with real sand and lifeguards. Open 5am to midnight, every day. Come back after dark.

- **Time:** Half a day
- **Cost:** Free
- **Best at:** Late afternoon
- **Tip:** Check the parklands site before packing a towel: the lagoon closes for maintenance stretches

### 2. See the Asia Pacific collection at QAGOMA

Gallery · Stanley Place, South Brisbane QLD 4101

One gallery in two buildings, minutes apart on Kurilpa Point: the Queensland Art Gallery for the historical collection, the Gallery of Modern Art for everything since. Entry to both is free. GOMA is the largest modern art museum in Australia and built its reputation on the Asia Pacific Triennial, which is worth planning a trip around.

- **Time:** 2–3 hrs
- **Cost:** Free general entry
- **Best at:** Weekday morning
- **Tip:** The Children's Art Centre inside GOMA is free and hands on

### 3. Climb the Story Bridge

Adventure · 170 Main Street, Kangaroo Point QLD 4169

John Bradfield designed it, it opened on 6 July 1940, and it is still the longest cantilever bridge in Australia at 777 metres. The guided climb takes you up the steelwork to 80 metres above the river, harnessed to a static line, on a route that reads the whole city at once: the CBD grid, the bends of the river, the Glass House Mountains.

- **Time:** 2 hrs
- **Cost:** Ticketed
- **Best at:** Twilight
- **Tip:** The dawn climb is the quiet one, and the light is better

### 4. Meet the koalas at Lone Pine

Wildlife · 708 Jesmond Road, Fig Tree Pocket QLD 4069

The first koala sanctuary in the world, opened in 1927 with two animals and now home to more than a hundred, on a bend of the river 12 km upstream. Queensland is one of the few places where holding a koala is still legal, and this is where most people do it. Open 9am to 5pm daily. The good version of the trip arrives by water, on a morning river cruise.

- **Time:** 3 hrs
- **Cost:** Ticketed
- **Best at:** Morning
- **Tip:** Take the river cruise one way and the bus back

### 5. Take the city in from Mount Coot-tha

Lookout · 1012 Sir Samuel Griffith Drive, Mount Coot-tha QLD 4066

Fifteen minutes west of the CBD by car, and the one view that explains the shape of Brisbane: the river doubling back on itself, the towers in the middle distance, Moreton Bay beyond. The lookout terrace is free and open around the clock. At the foot of the hill the Botanic Gardens cover 52 hectares, laid out in 1976.

- **Time:** 1–2 hrs
- **Cost:** Free
- **Best at:** Sunset
- **Tip:** Pair it with the botanic gardens on the way down

Links: [Website](https://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/libraries-venues-and-facilities/malls-and-precincts/mt-coot-tha-precinct?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)

### 6. Cross the Kangaroo Point Bridge at golden hour

Landmark · River Terrace, Kangaroo Point QLD 4169

The cliffs are old quarry faces, floodlit at night and busy with climbers on the rope routes. Since December 2024 they have had their own crossing: a 460 metre cable-stayed span from the CBD to Scott Street, pedestrians and bikes only, and the tallest bridge in Queensland. Take the lift up from the Kangaroo Point side and time it for the last hour of light.

- **Time:** 1–2 hrs
- **Cost:** Free
- **Best at:** Golden hour
- **Tip:** Walk the cliff-top path from the bridge to the ferry terminal

Links: [Website](https://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/transport-and-parking/transport-projects/bridges-for-brisbane/kangaroo-point-bridge?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)

### 7. Spend an evening at Howard Smith Wharves

Precinct · 5 Boundary Street, Brisbane City QLD 4000

A strip of 1930s government wharves wedged between the cliff and the river directly under the Story Bridge, derelict for decades and reopened as a dining precinct. Felons Brewing Co brews on site and pours it at a beer garden on the water, the best seat in Brisbane for watching the bridge light up. Arrive on foot along the riverwalk.

- **Time:** 2–3 hrs
- **Cost:** Free to enter
- **Best at:** Friday evening
- **Tip:** Walk in along the river from the City Botanic Gardens

Links: [Website](https://howardsmithwharves.com/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)

### 8. Ride a CityCat the length of the river

River · North Quay ferry terminal, Brisbane City QLD 4000

The catamarans are public transport, not a tour boat, which is why they work: one flat 50 cent fare takes you from Hamilton in the north past the cliffs, the wharves, South Bank and out to the University of Queensland. An hour on the top deck is the cheapest orientation in the city. The free CityHopper ended in January 2025, so every trip costs the flat fare.

- **Time:** 1 hr
- **Cost:** 50c per trip
- **Best at:** Sunset
- **Tip:** Sit outside on the top deck at the stern

Links: [Translink](https://translink.com.au/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)

### 9. Read the city's history in the City Botanic Gardens

Gardens · 147 Alice Street, Brisbane City QLD 4000

The oldest park in Brisbane, planted on the river bend beside the CBD in the 1850s as the colony's food garden and never built on since. What is left is a set of very large trees, a bamboo grove, a mangrove boardwalk and a lawn full of office workers at lunchtime. Three bridges land here, so it is the hinge between the two halves of a walking day.

- **Time:** 1 hr
- **Cost:** Free
- **Best at:** Early morning
- **Tip:** Enter over the Goodwill Bridge from South Bank

Links: [Website](https://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/parks-and-recreation/botanic-gardens/city-botanic-gardens?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)

### 10. Go up the City Hall clock tower

Museum · Level 3, Brisbane City Hall, 64 Adelaide Street, Brisbane City QLD 4000

The Museum of Brisbane occupies the third floor of the sandstone City Hall on King George Square, and entry is free. So is the clock tower tour, which runs every 15 minutes from 10am and puts you in the original 1930 cage lift, then out onto a balcony behind the clock faces. Book ahead: the lift takes a handful of people and the slots go.

- **Time:** 1–2 hrs
- **Cost:** Free
- **Best at:** Weekday
- **Tip:** Book the clock tower slot before you arrive

## Best of the Brisbane riverside (2026)

Six ways to use the Brisbane River, from a floating walkway to a lagoon with lifeguards.

1. **New Farm Riverwalk** (Walkway · Open 24 hrs · New Farm): A floating walkway bolted to pontoons between New Farm and the CBD. The original was torn away by the 2011 flood; the replacement opened in 2014.
2. **Riverlife at Kangaroo Point** (Adventure centre · Booked sessions · Kangaroo Point): Kayaks on the river, abseils down the quarry face and rope climbs back up it. The night paddle puts you on the water with the city lit above.
3. **Streets Beach** (Lagoon · Lifeguard patrolled · South Bank): The only inner-city artificial beach in Australia: a sand-edged lagoon in the middle of South Bank, free and patrolled year round. It closes for maintenance.
4. **Goodwill Bridge** (Bridge · Walk and cycle · South Bank): A 450 metre pedestrian and cycle bridge from South Bank to the City Botanic Gardens, opened for the Goodwill Games in 2001. It makes a two-bank day work.
5. **Wheel of Brisbane** (Observation wheel · Ticketed · South Bank): A 60 metre observation wheel at the northern end of the parklands, installed for the 20th anniversary of Expo 88 and never taken down.
6. **Bicentennial Bikeway** (Bikeway · Riverside · Milton): The riverside path from the CBD out under the Go Between Bridge toward Toowong, part of it cantilevered off the river wall. Hired bikes are everywhere on it.

## Best restaurants in Brisbane (2026)

Six dining rooms that made the city worth a detour, most of them within a few blocks of James Street.

1. **Agnes** (Woodfire · Dinner · Fortitude Valley): A restaurant with no gas and no electricity in the kitchen: everything comes off wood fire, including the bread. The room that changed Brisbane fine dining. [Website](https://agnesrestaurant.com.au/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
2. **Gerard's Bistro** (Middle Eastern · Dinner · Fortitude Valley): More than a decade of modern Middle Eastern cooking on James Street, built on Queensland produce and a charcoal grill. The Valley benchmark.
3. **Bianca** (Mediterranean · Dinner · Fortitude Valley): Mediterranean cooking under a ceiling of suspended wine bottles, terracotta underfoot, on the James Street strip. The pasta is the reason to book.
4. **Hôntô** (Japanese · Izakaya · Fortitude Valley): A dark izakaya down an unmarked Valley laneway, doing yakitori and Japanese small plates for a room that fills as it opens. Finding the door is part of it.
5. **sAme sAme** (Thai · Charcoal · Fortitude Valley): Thai cooking over charcoal from the same group as Agnes and Hôntô, on James Street. Loud, communal and built around a wood-fired grill rather than a wok.
6. **OTTO Brisbane** (Italian · Riverside · South Bank): The Sydney Italian institution transplanted to River Quay at the southern tip of South Bank, water on one side and towers on the other. [Website](https://ottoristorante.com.au/brisbane/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)

## Best bars and breweries in Brisbane (2026)

Six rooms worth the trip, from a brewery under the Story Bridge to a laneway bar with 600 bottles behind it.

1. **Felons Brewing Co** (Brewery · Beer garden · Brisbane City): Brews on site at Howard Smith Wharves and pours it under the Story Bridge with the river a few metres away. The most-used outdoor drinking space here. [Website](https://felonsbrewingco.com.au/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
2. **Green Beacon Brewing Co** (Brewery · Taproom · Teneriffe): An open warehouse of exposed beams and polished concrete in Teneriffe, brewing since 2013. Order the Wayfarer and watch the tanks work. [Website](https://www.greenbeacon.com.au/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
3. **Newstead Brewing Co** (Brewery · Brewpub · Newstead): A brewpub in a converted industrial shed on the Newstead flats, pouring its own beer beside a kitchen that takes the food as seriously as the tanks.
4. **Savile Row** (Cocktail bar · Late · Fortitude Valley): A former butcher shop on Ann Street with a 900-bottle back bar and a tight list of about 20 cocktails. Open until 2am most nights and 3am on the weekend.
5. **Death & Taxes** (Cocktail bar · Laneway · Brisbane City): A narrow bar off Burnett Lane from the Savile Row team, with more than 600 bottles on the wall behind it. Ask rather than read.
6. **Cobbler** (Whisky bar · Small · West End): The West End sibling of Savile Row and Death & Taxes, and the bar that started the group. Whisky-led, low-lit and deliberately hard to spot from Fish Lane.

## Best galleries and museums in Brisbane (2026)

Five collections across the Cultural Centre and the Valley, four of them free to walk into.

1. **Queensland Museum** (Museum · Free entry · South Brisbane): The state collection at the Cultural Centre: Queensland natural history, a whale skeleton over the atrium, and the Sciencentre downstairs. Entry is free.
2. **State Library of Queensland** (Library · Free entry · South Brisbane): Next to GOMA, and more than a reading room: free exhibitions, the kuril dhagun First Nations space, and a river deck good for doing nothing.
3. **Museum of Brisbane** (Museum · Free entry · Brisbane City): Three floors up inside City Hall, telling the story of the city itself, and the desk from which the free clock tower tours leave every 15 minutes. [Website](https://www.museumofbrisbane.com.au/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
4. **Institute of Modern Art** (Contemporary art · Free entry · Fortitude Valley): A non-collecting contemporary gallery in the Valley, running since 1975 and showing work the bigger institutions have not got to yet. Free.
5. **Brisbane Powerhouse** (Arts venue · Riverside · New Farm): A 1920s tram power station on the river at New Farm, stripped back to concrete and graffiti and reopened as a theatre. Worth walking through.

## Best markets in Brisbane (2026)

Five markets, from a shipping-container food precinct on a wharf to a Saturday produce market under fig trees.

1. **Eat Street Northshore** (Night market · Fri to Sun · Hamilton): A disused wharf at Hamilton rebuilt from about 180 shipping containers into a night food market. Friday and Saturday to 10pm, Sunday to 9pm. [Website](https://eatstreetnorthshore.com.au/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
2. **Jan Powers Farmers Markets, Powerhouse** (Farmers market · Saturday · New Farm): The best of the three sites, along the river lawn at New Farm. Producers rather than resellers, and a crowd that arrives early. [Website](https://www.janpowersfarmersmarkets.com.au/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
3. **Collective Markets South Bank** (Design market · Fri to Sun · South Bank): Art, design, homewares and vintage across Stanley Street Plaza, Friday evening plus all day Saturday and Sunday. Folds into a South Bank day. [Website](https://collectivemarkets.com.au/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
4. **Davies Park Market** (Produce market · Saturday · West End): Every Saturday from 6am under enormous fig trees on the river bend at West End: produce, plants and a row of breakfast stalls. The most local market.
5. **Boundary Street Markets** (Food hall · Evenings · West End): A permanent covered food hall on Russell Street in West End rather than a pop-up, with kitchens around a central bar and a night crowd from Friday.

## Best neighbourhoods in Brisbane (2026)

Six inner-city pockets, each a walk rather than a stop.

1. **Fortitude Valley** (Nightlife · Live music · Fortitude Valley): The entertainment quarter, and the part of Brisbane that runs late. Live music, Chinatown Mall and a strip on Ann Street, ten minutes from Central.
2. **James Street** (Shopping · Dining · Fortitude Valley): Two blocks of fashion, design and the best concentration of restaurants in the city, anchored on the Calile. Walkable end to end in twenty minutes.
3. **West End** (Markets · Cafes · West End): Second-hand bookshops, Greek and Vietnamese kitchens, two markets and Musgrave Park, on the peninsula across from the CBD. The counterweight to James Street.
4. **New Farm and Teneriffe** (Riverside · Dining · New Farm): Woolstores converted into apartments, a park with a rose garden and the Powerhouse on the river. New Farm was the Italian quarter and Merthyr Village still eats like it.
5. **Paddington** (Vintage · Cafes · Paddington): Timber Queenslanders stepped up the ridge along Given Terrace, with antique and vintage shops. The best surviving stretch of pre-war housing.
6. **Woolloongabba** (Sport · Antiques · Woolloongabba): The Gabba is here, home ground for the Brisbane Lions and the Queensland Bulls, and the antique centre and a growing run of restaurants sit in the streets around it.

## Best day trips from Brisbane (2026)

Six trips out, two of them to the largest sand islands in the world.

1. **North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah)** (Island · 25 min ferry · Moreton Bay): Drive 45 minutes east to Cleveland, then a 25 minute ferry. Walk the North Gorge headland for turtles, rays and, from June, humpbacks. [Ferries](https://www.sealink.com.au/north-stradbroke-island/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
2. **Moreton Island (Mulgumpin)** (Island · 75 min ferry · Moreton Bay): A 75 minute ferry from Pinkenba to Tangalooma, where fifteen wrecks were scuttled to make a snorkelling bay. Almost all of it is sand and national park.
3. **Glass House Mountains** (National park · 1 hr north · Sunshine Coast): An hour north, a cluster of volcanic plugs standing out of the plain, named by James Cook in 1770. Walks from a lookout stroll to Mount Ngungun.
4. **Lamington National Park** (Rainforest · 2 hrs south · Scenic Rim): Two hours south into the hinterland and a Gondwana rainforest World Heritage area: tree-top boardwalks at O'Reilly's and waterfalls on the Box Forest circuit.
5. **Toowoomba** (City · 95 min west · Darling Downs): Ninety-five minutes west and 800 metres up on the Great Dividing Range, Queensland's largest inland city and, with 150 public parks, the Garden City.
6. **Gold Coast** (Coast · 1 hr south · Gold Coast): An hour south by car, or a train to Helensvale and a tram. Surfers Paradise for the beach, Burleigh Heads for the headland walk and better coffee.

## Festivals & annual events in Brisbane (2026)

- **Anzac Day** (25 Apr): Dawn service at the Shrine of Remembrance in Anzac Square, then the march through the city.
- **Paniyiri Greek Festival** (May): Two days of food, music and dancing in Musgrave Park at West End. The longest-running cultural festival in Queensland, since 1976.
- **Ekka, the Royal Queensland Show** (8–16 Aug): The state agricultural show at the Brisbane Showgrounds, drawing more than 400,000 people. The 2026 edition marks 150 years.
- **Riverfire** (5 Sep): Fireworks from bridges, barges and rooftops along the river, opening Brisbane Festival.
- **Brisbane Festival** (4–26 Sep): Three weeks of theatre, music and circus across South Bank, the Powerhouse and the City Botanic Gardens.
- **BIGSOUND** (Sep): More than 150 acts across the Fortitude Valley venues over four nights, half conference and half the best music week here.
- **Brisbane Open House** (Oct): A weekend when buildings normally closed to the public open their doors, from City Hall to working power infrastructure.
- **New Year's Eve at South Bank** (31 Dec): Two fireworks displays over the river, the earlier one timed for families. The parklands and the ferries both run late.

## Must-try dishes in Brisbane, Australia

- **Moreton Bay bugs**: Flat-bodied slipper lobsters pulled from the bay the city sits on.
- **Mud crab**: Queensland mud crab is the sweetest in the country and worth the mess.
- **Barramundi**: The northern Australian fish that became the national restaurant default.
- **Spanner crab**: A shallow-water crab landed off the southern Queensland coast, sold as picked meat.
- **Lamington**: Sponge dipped in chocolate and rolled in coconut, claimed by Queensland and named after a colonial governor.
- **Macadamia**: Native to the rainforest belt north of Brisbane, and the only Australian food plant grown commercially.
- **Bunya nut**: The seed of the bunya pine, a staple of the Aboriginal gatherings in the Bunya Mountains.
- **Banh mi**: Brisbane has a large Vietnamese community around Inala and Darra, and those bakeries make the cheapest lunch.

## Brisbane transport & airports

- **Brisbane Airport** (BNE): About 13 km northeast of the centre. Airtrain runs into Central, Fortitude Valley and South Bank in roughly 20 minutes; it is the one service outside the flat 50 cent fare, at around A$22. [Website](https://www.bne.com.au/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) · [Airtrain](https://www.airtrain.com.au/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)

[Translink](https://translink.com.au/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) · [Queensland Rail](https://www.queenslandrail.com.au/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)

- **CityCat ferries** (FERRY): Catamarans run the length of the river between Hamilton and the University of Queensland, with Cross River ferries filling the short hops. Ordinary public transport at the flat 50 cent fare. [Translink](https://translink.com.au/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)

## Brisbane travel FAQ

### How many days do you need in Brisbane?

Three. One for the river and South Bank, one for the Valley, New Farm and a lookout, and one for a day trip out to Moreton Bay or the hinterland. Two works if you skip the islands.

### What is the best time of year to visit Brisbane?

March to May and September to October. Winter (June to August) is dry and mild at around 21°C by day, which is why the festival calendar sits there. Summer is hot, humid and wet, with February the wettest month.

### Do you need a car in Brisbane?

No, not for the city. Every train, bus and ferry journey costs a flat 50 cents, and the CityCats cover the length of the river. Hire a car only for the Glass House Mountains, Lamington or Toowoomba.

### Can you hold a koala in Brisbane?

Yes. Queensland is one of the few Australian states where it is still legal, and Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary at Fig Tree Pocket is where most visitors do it. It is open 9am to 5pm daily.

### Is Brisbane worth visiting, or should you go straight to the Gold Coast?

Stay in Brisbane and treat the coast as a day trip. The city has the galleries, the food and the river; the Gold Coast is an hour away by train and tram, and Moreton Bay is a better beach day than Surfers Paradise.
