Experience The Best of Brisbane, Australia
Brisbane is the capital and gateway to Queensland, Australia.
Brisbane and the surrounding area host so many activities that you could enjoy a new activity every day for a month, maybe more. Hence, to experience the best of Brisbane, you must know how to use your time wisely.
Both Greg and Charlie have spent time here, and loved it so much that our time in the city was extended on more than one occasion.
Between us, we have crisscrossed the city from Mount Coot-Tha to the coast and experienced the best of Brisbane and the lows of leaving.
Brisbane is a glorious mix of urban and natural magnificence, shared by a multi-cultural group of individuals who have come together from around the world.
In this guide to Brisbane, Australia, we'll look at where to stay, where to eat and where to party. Likewise, we delve into the best things to do in Brisbane, including the surrounding beauty of Byron Bay, Noosa, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.
What's Brisbane, Australia, Like?
Brisbane is a vast city that follows and clings to the meandering Brisbane River, which itself flows into Moreton Bay and on to the Coral Sea.
Despite being a busy city, Brisbane is Australia's greenest and most sustainable city with a wonderful tropical climate.
Likewise, it's a vibrant, colourful and artistic city that flourishes in the arts, from dance and shows to museums, paintings and galleries. Similarly, within the CBD, you'll discover wonderful riverside walks, green and fragrant Botanical gardens and Roma Street Parklands.
Outside of the parks, the CBD is a bustling inner city with tree-lined streets and vast modern glass-fronted tower blocks. Cars and the noises that come with them are everywhere.
Alongside the towering, shimmering new buildings are smaller historic structures that stand out like a sore thumb, but in a pretty way, such as the Brisbane City Hall and the Albert Street Uniting Church.
Across the river to the west, South Bank is a magical tropical Miamian-esque beachfront, complete with palm trees, a lagoon and views of the towering CBD.
Mount Cooth-tha to the west overlooks the entire city out to Moreton Island in the east.
Further from the CBD, Brisbane's suburbs become greener and more open, and the energetic noises of city life give way to a relaxing, tranquil vibe.
Yet, no matter where you are in Brisbane, everyone is so friendly and happy, you can't help but relax and be cheerful.
How to get to Brisbane, Australia
As with most of Australia's larger cities, Brisbane has numerous major transport hubs, through which millions pass every year.
You have the airport, the major train stations, and the bus stations, including the Greyhound stop.
As always, I'll start with the Airport.
How to get to Brisbane from Brisbane Airport
There are numerous ways of getting to Brisbane from Brisbane Airport; however, the best option is the Airtrain.
From the International terminal, go to floor three, where you cannot miss the Airtrain Station outside. From there, you can get to central Brisbane in a matter of minutes.
Central Station is only six stops and around twenty minutes on the Brisbane Airtrain. A further stop and you'll be at Roma Street Station, both of which are in the CBD.
The airtrain runs from 05:04am to 10:04pm on weekdays and 06:04am to 10:04pm on weekends.
Tickets can be bought at the station on the day of travel, or for the best deals, you can book online. A one-way ticket from the airport to Brisbane Central or Roma Street Station costs $19.96 (£9.50). A return ticket will cost $37.21 (£17.72).
Other options include Uber and taxi, costing around $50 (£23.81) one-way, or lastly a pre-ordered shuttle bus with Con-X-ion.
Finally, your other option is the bus.
This is not ideal, as you have to make your way to the Skygate centre, jump aboard the 590 to Toombul, and then change onto the train to get to the city centre. Just don't bother. Take the Airtrain.
How to get to Brisbane from Roma Street or Central Train Station
This is a simple one, as technically, whichever of the two you arrive at, you're already in the CBD.
Both are in the northern sector of Brisbane CBD. If I were to take a recognisable area, for example, the Botanical Gardens, your walk would be just over ten minutes from Central Station and just over fifteen minutes from Roma Street.
However, if you're aiming for another part of Brisbane, you'll discover taxis and buses outside the station. Yet, if you cannot find a bus to your destination, walk down to Queens Street and you'll find numerous buses there.
How to get to Brisbane from Brisbane Coach Station
Those of you visiting Brisbane from another city within Australia and have chosen to travel via coach or the traveller's favourite, the Greyhound, you will arrive in the same location as above.
You will be getting off at the northern side of Roma Street Station. Hence, my advice is the same as if you were arriving at the train station. Even with luggage, it's easier to walk to your destination within the CBD.
Again, if you're aiming for another part of Brisbane's leafy suburb, there are plenty of taxis and buses that crisscross the city from this location. If you cannot find a bus to your destination, walk down to Queens Street and you'll find the perfect bus for you.
Timing your Trip
How Long Should You Spend Visiting Brisbane, Australia?
A vast number of visitors to Australia's fine shores head for the East Coast. Generally, these trips run from Sydney to Cairns or vice versa. Most plan their trip on a tight time scale, with no room for error or even a missed bus. Thus, giving Brisbane a couple of days, they think it deserves.
Well, don’t! You will miss out. Brisbane deserves more than two days. Before planning this epic East Coast trip, you may want to read this article we put together, 'How to avoid over-planning your travels'. It was written with the east coast of Australia in mind.
We suggest spending between five and seven days in Brisbane, Australia.
The Best Time Of The Year for Backpacking Brisbane, Australia
In truth, any time of the year is great for visiting Brisbane; it's fantastic. However, if we were to pick one time over any other, it has to be Autumn (March to May).
This is before the crowds descend on the city, yet the weather is perfect. Sunny, warm days are more common in Autumn, and the humidity is at a very comfortable level.
Where to Stay Whilst Backpacking Brisbane
Brisbane is the third-largest city in Australia. Yeah, it's fairly big.
This means there are thousands of places to stay across the city. Accommodation in Brisbane comes in all shapes and forms, from a bunk in a hostel dorm to five-star luxury penthouses on the river. Likewise, accommodation can be found everywhere, from the furthest west, all the way to the eastern shores of Moreton Bay.
Whichever you choose, or more likely, what your budget determines, you'll want to stay fairly centrally.
Ideally, this means somewhere within the U-shaped bend of the river between the Roma Street Train Station and the Botanical Gardens.
From there, you'll be in the heart of the cafe culture, have the magical South Bank close by, and be close to all the key transport hubs to get you to all the best things to do in Brisbane, Australia.
Below are a couple of reviews from the places we've stayed in Brisbane.
Nomads - All Nations Brisbane
- What: Large hostel with terrace, bar, snug and wild nights.
- Where:Â On the corner of Anne Street and Edward Street in the city centre. (map)
- Why: It's a fun and friendly, social place with fairly good prices for Brisbane, Australia.
- Why Not: You like peace and quiet and a penthouse vibe.
A large and socialable hostel with group activities, pub crawls and cosy nights around the screen.
As with most hostels nowadays, there are numerous options of private or group dorms. I found the shared dorms to be large, bright, and airy, and among the most spacious compared to any other hostel I've stayed in.
Likewise, the rooms, shared spaces, bathrooms, basically the whole hostel, were spotlessly clean.
Honestly, when I return to Brisbane, this is where I'd stay.
The staff were great, and the social element of the hostel made solo travel easy and fun.
Furthermore, the location couldn't be beaten.
If you're backpacking Brisbane, Australia, on a budget, look no further.
In July 2025, prices start at **Temporarily Closed**
Further Accommodation in Brisbane, Australia
Ultimately, as long as you stay within the CBD area I've suggested above, you'll have everything you need.
Other than that, the rest is up to you. You know your preferences and your budget.
If, like me, you love the atmosphere of a hostel, check out Hostelworld. Those who enjoy luxury head over to Booking.com, while those who love living like a local start with Airbnb.
Hence, I have added the three main accommodation booking sites I use and used for my trip along the East Coast of Australia, including here in Brisbane.
Best things to do in Brisbane, Australia
Being such a diverse biosphere and community, there are hundreds of amazing things to do in Brisbane. You could be here for a month and still have more to see.
Luckily, with so much to do, Brisbane has an incredible transport system, including buses, trams and trains. Between them, they have a far-reaching network that leads you to each of these activities.
Across the city, Brisbane is awash with museums, galleries and performing arts, and they are amongst some of the things you need to see.
Likewise, you'll have to discover some of the wonderful natural world that surrounds Brisbane. Walk the river path, explore Moreton Island, dive into the forests and green spaces and take in the views aloft Mount Cooth-tha.
Below is a list of our 'must-do' things during your visit to Brisbane, and even where to go after.
Brisbane, Australia: The Highlights
- Unveil a legacy at Australia Zoo
- Take in the views from Mount Cooth-Tha Lookout
- Cool off in the lagoon at Streets Beach
- Enjoy a beer on the XXXX tour
- Relax at the City Botanical Gardens and Old Government House
- Visit the magical Moreton Island
- Catch a show at the Performing Arts Centre
- Explore the nearby areas of Noosa, Sunshine Coast, and Gold Coast
Unveil a legacy at Australia Zoo
- Why: Steve Irwin is a legend, and you'll discover animals in a near-natural environment.
- Where: An hour's drive north near a small town called Landsborough. (map)
- How long: Honestly, there are so many things to do that you could spend a whole day here.
- How much: Tickets cost $74.95 (£36.49). Discounted tickets for families, children and the elderly are available. (tickets)
In 1991, Steve Irwin, aka the Crocodile Hunter, took over at the park and regularly introduced new species of animals and plants.
In 1998, now with his wife, Terri, he renamed the ever-expanding park to Australia Zoo. That is a brave move.
But crikey, they've done it so well.
Sadly, Steve was killed in a stingray incident in northeast Queensland in 2006. Now, with his extended family at the helm, he truly lives on via his unmissable influences throughout the zoo.
With interactive areas, displays, feeding locations, and places where you can meet the animals, including cuddling a Koala, there is something for everyone. No matter who you are, this will be a special day out that will stay with you forever.
We both loved this park and getting to visit the world's wildlife all in one place. Yes, it's a zoo, and we aren't normally down with that. However, Australia Zoo is so expansive that the animals must feel free. Some of the enclosures are on a vast scale, to the point where there's transport to get you around them, such as the Africa area.
The animals appeared to be well-loved and cared for. Nothing will replace free and wild animals. That said, this is as near to it as we've seen.
We hope that the conservation work will continue in Steve's good name for many years to come.
Take in the views from Mount Cooth-Tha Lookout
- Why: Views from the top are stunning.
- Where: Just outside the city on the western fringes of Brisbane, Australia. (map)
- How long: Once there, you'll need a couple of hours.
- How much: Walking to the top and around the beautiful gardens is free, but a bite at the restaurant will cost ya.
At the top of Mount Cooth-Tha, you can enjoy the captivating panoramic views in style, with a delicious meal or a refreshing cold drink. Furthermore, on a clear day, you can see out to the delightful Moreton Island in the bay.
The wonderful Kuta cafe stands aloft Mount Coo-tha, and has a great selection to pick from. Trust us, if you decide to walk, you'll want that refreshing tipple once you get to the top.
The views can be enjoyed 24/7, giving contrasting experiences between the day and night climbs.
Personally, my favourite time to hit the summit is as the sun goes down. I admit you cannot see the bay or out to the islands. But what you do get is a night cityscape like no other.
That said, a daytime visit comes with advantages.
Namely, the Brisbane and Mount Coot-Tha Botanical Gardens at the foot of the Mountain. With fragrant flowers, trees and plants from around the world, you are in for a treat with bursts of colour, texture and smells that fill you with pure pleasure.
While the trip may take just over five minutes in the car, the two-mile walk to the summit from the gardens will not be quite as quick or as relaxing. You will have to put in some effort.
For us here at Far Out, there isn't a better view of the city.
Cool off in the lagoon at Streets Beach
- Why: It's a relaxing and beautiful part of Brisbane, Australia.
- Where: On the South Bank, opposite the CBD. (map)
- How long: Take a morning to relax in the sun and let the sand run between your toes.
- How much: Plotting up on the beach is free, as is enjoying most of the superb South Bank.
The city centre is, as you would expect, just like many other city centres, a mass of noise, buildings, cars, and people all going about their daily business. None of these is ideal when you're trying to enjoy your visit,
Brisbane has thought of this and created a tranquil, calming area, complete with a lagoon and sandy beach called Streets Beach. However theres more. One of the newest additions to Instagramable area called South Bank is the area is a stunning Nepalese Peace Pagoda, hidden within the pathways of the Rainforest Walk.
The Wheel of Brisbane towers over, with stunning aerial views over not just the South Bank, but the central CBD.
Set back from the river, all the above entwine to create a sense of peace, and that moment of clarity rarely found in a city.
Nevertheless, the pièce de résistance has to be Streets Beach, nestled between the river and the rainforest walk. With a delightful small clear lagoon and sandy beach theres no better location in the city. Overall, is a great place to get away from it all, and being honest, forgetting you were even in a city, at a manmade beach.
If, the sun's shining and you get a spot to throw your towel, you'll thank us for this one. If not, the little icecreamery will do just fine.
Enjoy a beer on the XXXX tour
- Why: Admittedly, it's not the best beer, but like any brewery tour, is a good laugh.
- Where: Just down the road from the Suncorp Stadium. (map)
- How long: Each tour is an hour and a half, but you can stay longer and enjoy the booze and some food.
- How much: Booking ahead online will cost you $39.02 (£18.99). (tickets)
Neither of us at Far Out can claim to be teetotal; in fact, we bloody love a good drink.
Likewise, neither of us can claim that XXXX would be our choice of beverage either. It does, however, stand head and shoulders above that other Aussie export. No, not Dame Edna, we mean Fosters.
That said, if there is a brewery tour, you will find us on it.
Truthfully, I cannot give the tour a fair representation because our guide was brand new, nervous and, honestly, hadn't done his homework.
Other than that, whilst the tour was not world-beating, it was a good laugh, especially as the free beer kicked in. Each beer coincided with things perking up a little.
Throughout the tour, there were interesting facts and interactive areas, not to mention the bar and gift shop.
So, is it worth it? Yes, if you have the time. Is it a must-do? No, definitely not.
Relax at the City Botanical Gardens and Old Government House
- Why: It's a peaceful location to sit and have a picnic.
- Where: Hidden within the bend of the river that incorporates the CBD. (map)
- How long: It depends on what's in your picnic... An hour or two should be perfect.
- How much: Both the City Botanical Gardens and the guided tour of the Old Government House are free. (book here)
You cannot explore Brisbane without visiting the surreal surroundings of the City Botanical Gardens. This forty-five-acre site is brimming with wildlife, plants and trees and has a great riverside frontage, not to mention the odd standout building to the south-west of the park.
While the Old Government House is one of the oldest buildings in the city, perhaps, the state, or even the country. It isn't that old in comparison to some of the famed and loved European buildings.
Despite the beauty and charm of the Old Government House, it isn't that big.
In truth, I'd call it more of a small museum, although a very pleasant place all the same. I
It is, however, the small pocket of greenery within the park that is the main draw, and much like the South Bank, it is a haven and serenity from the city.
Walking along the river path, you'll enjoy watching the animals scurry around the grasslands.
Take a stroll around the grounds, enjoy the area, grab a bite to eat and again, whilst not a must-do, the Old Government House is a nice addition and something worth visiting should you have the time.
Visit the magical Moreton Island
- Why: Nature, beauty, tranquillity, need I go on?
- Where: On the east of Brisbane, Australia, sandwiched between Moreton Bay and the Coral Sea. (map)
- How long: You choose... Either stay for a few nights or spend a day exploring the island on a fantastic day trip.
- How much: Again, this depends on what you do and how long you stay. The ferry is $39 (£19.01) each way. (tickets)
Neither of us has managed to set foot on Moreton Island yet, but I thought it best to give it a small write-up so you can decide if it's something you'd like to do.
I have no idea why I never did it; it looks outstanding.
There are so many things to do on Moreton Island, from nighttime kayaking, boat tours, snorkelling the ship wrecks, feeding dolphins, sand tobogganing, swimming with turtles, jet skiing, hiking, orrrrrrr relaxing in a hammock on a beach doing sweet fuck all.
With so much to do, Moreton Island is a fantastic place for the adventure seeker. Nevertheless, with blue skies, crystal clear waters and golden tanned beaches surrounding a delicious green and leafy centre, it might be somewhere you'd enjoy unwinding with your tunes and a good book.
When in paradise, you decide what will make your time on Moreton Island even more ideal.
Catch a show at the Performing Arts Centre
- Why: When experts perform, you should take note.
- Where: Northern sector of the South Bank. (map)
- How long: This depends on the type of show you see and where.
- How much: Again, this depends on what show you watch.
Brisbane is bursting with arts and crafts and is home to some of the biggest shows in the world.
Queensland Performing Arts Centre is the home of arts and crafts, located on the western entrance of Victoria Bridge.
As well as that, the Queensland Art Gallery, Gallery of Modern Art and Queensland Museum all line the Brisbane River within the superb South Bank area.
Numerous dance performances, from ballet to modern and onto contemporary, are not to be missed. Likewise, musicals and West End shows reign supreme, including my favourite, The Lion King.
If the performing arts are your thing, Brisbane will dazzle you with impressive shows every night of the week. There's nowhere else like it in Australia.
If, however, a show is not for you, but other arts and crafts are, do not worry, the museums and art galleries are well worth a visit. You may even pick up a few pieces for your shit shelf in the gift shops.
A little hint from Greg, if The Lion King is back in town, go, it is unbelievable. Just magical.
Explore the nearby areas of Noosa, Sunshine Coast, and Gold Coast
- Why: You'll discover a whole new world of magic and beauty.
- Where: Spread out along the east coast of Australia.
- How long: If you have the time, spend a few days in each.
- How much: Another cop out answer, but it depends on how you get there and how long you stay.
Byron Bay
The picture-perfect Byron Bay lies just over one hundred miles south (two hours' drive) of Brisbane, Australia. Byron proudly marks the easternmost tip of mainland Australia with a beautiful lighthouse.
The lighthouse itself is worth the walk from the town, not to mention being the perfect place 'in season' to watch the whales pass by as they migrate up and down the coast.
Byron also boasts wonderful beaches and conservation areas, making it the most relaxing area on the East Coast. One of my favourite beaches, slightly out of town, is Cosy Corner.
If you're looking for somewhere to stay, there are many great hostels in the area, including the renowned The Arts Factory. However, my favourite is Aquarius Backpackers.
Another top tip. I recommend booking something a little crazier and, well, unruly, in more ways than one. Visit Nimbin, where the wacky jungle world of the weird and wonderful awaits.
Gold Coast
Around fifty miles south of Brissy (an hour’s drive), the Gold Coast and Coolangatta are another must, and hold so many memories for me.
This part of the coastline has a plethora of beautiful beaches, complete with shimmering, glistening, crystal-clear waters brimming with wildlife. Taking a step back from the beaches, the lively world of theme parks, wild rides and wild nights takes over.
There are numerous theme parks, ranging from Movie World, Dreamworld and the magic of Wet' n 'Wild, not to mention the controversial Sea World.
While in the Gold Coast, don't forget to enjoy Sky Point, with an observation platform and views across the whole area.
Sunshine Coast
A mere sixty-five miles north of Brisbane, Australia, an hour and twenty-minute drive (nothing by Australian standards), you'll find the aptly named Sunshine Coast.
Firstly, famed for its giant pineapple, which, for reasons unknown to us, seems to be something special.
Other than that revelation. The Sunshine Coast is loved for its beaches, parks, wildlife and again, wild nights, similar to the Gold Coast, just not quite as manic.
Furthermore, the Sunshine Coast has places of sheer beauty to the north, like Maroochydore and Mooloolaba. Both are also great locations for those of us who want to go whale watching. It is here that I witnessed a large humpback breach the waters, which as a wildlife lover, is something I'll never forget.
Highly recommended - Take a walk around the Cotton Tree area, to the north of Maroochydore. The sands are among some of the best I've seen. Then head south to The Wharf in Mooloolaba. Here, you can meet the whale-watching ships.
Noosa Heads
Noosa is the land of scenery, wildlife and adventure within the Everglades.
All this and more from around ninety-five miles, two hours north of Brisbane, Australia.
This small pocket of perfection will blow your mind as you kayak with dolphins off the headland.
Likewise, you can kayak deep into the meandering waterways of the Noosa Everglades, where wildlife literally jumps out at you.
After a day in the stunning town of Noosa, you will see why it’s a favourite holiday destination for not only tourists, but Aussies too. You get a real sense of class, and that oozes from all aspects of the small town.
It has an ambience that thoroughly relaxes you, almost horizontal.
Noosa is not one for massive nights out. Nevertheless, it is perfect for a tranquil walk and calming vibes. It also has one of the most beautiful hostels in Noosa Heads YHA - Halse Lodge. The old wooden balconies are a great place to pull up a chair or hammock and relax your blues away.
Where to Eat When Backpacking Brisbane
Regarding places to eat, things have changed a bit since either of us was in the area.
Hence, it's tricky to say if the places we munched at are: firstly, still there, secondly, still tasty and thirdly, still amongst the best places to eat in Brisbane, Australia.
That said, there are a couple of little tasters we can offer you. They are:
The Pancake Manor
- What: Cafe specialising in creps, pancakes and sugary treats, with great mains too.
- Where: On Charlotte Street near the Queens Gardens. (map)
- How much: The regular stack of pancakes costs a mouthwatering $11.95 (£5.69). (Menu)
The Pancake Manor was an old church/cathedral. However, luckily for most of us, it has been refitted into a delightful pancake house. You'll find anything and everything to do with pancakes, be it sweet or savoury.
The array of dishes here is outstanding.
Me, being me, went for the sweet option, and I do not regret it at all.
As if the setting wasn't enough to drag you in kicking and screaming, the smells and tastes will. To date, I still do not recall a better crepe. I can wholeheartedly recommend the Bavarian apple.
That said, the savoury dishes did tempt me with dishes like the Mexicana and the chicken. If you're a fan of pancakes or crepes, this has to be the first stop on your Brissy food tour.
Where to Party Whilst Backpacking Brisbane
Much like the food, it's been a while since we've drank our weight in beer and done shots of the bellies of strangers in Brisbane, so, I'm afraid, we aren't going to be much help again.
That said, we had plenty of great nights out across Brisbane, which normally started in the backpacker bars under the hostel.
Is Brisbane Safe?
Overall, Brisbane, Australia, is a safe city to visit for all travellers.
Despite the known dangers of Queensland's deadly wildlife, unpredictable and extreme weather, and bushfires, Brisbane manages to avoid most of these dangers.
Generally, our advice is to treat it like a normal, large city, with fairly low crime figures. If you do that, you won't go too far wrong
Crime
Crime rates in Brisbane are low, and the city is considered one of the top 50% safest places in Australia. Police regularly patrol in pairs or groups, and thanks to this visual deterrent, crimes against tourists are rare.
If you fall victim to any crime as a visitor to Brisbane, it's likely to be pickpocketing or petty theft. Violent crimes against tourists are almost unheard of.
Natural Disasters and Weather
As suggested, Queensland experiences extreme weather phenomena, including raging temperatures, fires and cyclones. The most recent, as I write this, was in March 2025, when Cyclone Alfred swept across the state, wreaking havoc as it went.
Cyclone Alfred caused major damage and one fatality in Brisbane, but natural disasters like this are infrequent.
I wouldn't let this put you off from visiting Brisbane, Australia. Plus, if any extreme weather issues were to transpire in Queensland, Brisbane is likely the safest place to be.
Wildlife
Again, Queensland is blessed with all kinds of dangerous crocs, snakes, spiders and anything else you can think of. However, due to Brisbane's location and size, you'll rarely bump into anything too dangerous. It is possible, but again, not something you'd worry about.
Other places in the state and country are a lot more dangerous.
