A Brief introduction to Brisbane

The third-largest city in Australia, Brisbane is known for its youthful charm and boasts intriguing art venues, pulsating nightlife, and a delicious dining scene.

We recommend starting your trip with a visit to Spring Hill and Fortitude Valley - two of Brisbane’s many artistic neighbourhoods. While there, you will find a variety of art galleries, including the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) and Institute of Modern Art. Right around the corner is Brunswick Street, which is home to some of the city’s best street murals and graffiti art.

Brisbane is also well known for its growing international culinary scene. Boundary Street and Fortitude Valley have something for everyone as you will find everything from Asian restaurants to quaint cafes. Be sure to visit Fortitude Valley in the evening to indulge in Brisbane’s lively nightlife.

It is also worth venturing outside Brisbane as Queensland is brimming with memorable experiences, including the beautiful beaches and lush vineyards of the Gold Coast.
