A brief introduction to Brisbane

Boasting a bounty of art galleries, an impressive dining scene, and world class beaches, Brisbane is a dream destination for those looking to soak up some culture as well as some sun.

Brisbane’s art scene is exemplified through its numerous galleries, some of the largest being the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) and Institute of Modern Art. To experience the city’s local artistic side, consider visiting Brunswick Street, home to independent contemporary galleries and vibrant street art.

Nearby, you’ll find some of Brisbane’s best dining areas, such as Kangaroo Point, Frog’s Hollow, and South Bank. These districts straddle the Brisbane River, and are filled with lively rooftop bars serving artisanal cocktails and trendy restaurants offering premium seafood. Once the sun sets, head to Fortitude Valley to experience the best bars in the city and the pulsating nightlife scene.

Venture out of the city and visit the pristine beaches of the famous Gold Coast, which is located about an hour’s drive away. During the journey, you will pass through the famous Queensland vineyards, the perfect place to stop for a winery tour so you can learn more about Australia’s growing wine scene. Be sure to also stop by the sandy isles of Moreton Bay as it is a haven for travellers looking to catch a glimpse of the majestic aquatic creatures that can be found here, such as whales, dolphins, and turtles.

Moreton Island is another popular destination for those looking to go on a day trip as it can be reached in approximately 75 minutes by ferry from downtown Brisbane. Known to be the world’s third-largest sand island, about 98 percent of the area is a protected national park. While here, be sure to enjoy some fun in the sun on the beach or go snorkelling or diving around the 15 shallow-water wrecks that lie just a stone’s throw away from the shoreline.
