Brisbane is the third largest city in Australia (after Sydney and Melbourne) and the capital city of the state of Queensland. The allure of the city, which is situated midway up the eastern Australian coast, is it's laid-back, unpretentious atmosphere. A big-city location without the big-city attitude, Brisbane enjoys a sub-tropical climate, a variety of landscapes and a high quality of life. It has developed in leaps and bounds over recent years, growing into a modern, cosmopolitan city with fabulous amenities, beautiful parkland, a vibrant nightlife and clubbing scene, and a hectic cultural/events calendar.

The main tourist districts in Brisbane include the CBD (Central Business District), the South Bank district, and Fortitude Valley, each one with their own particular vibe and style to offer visitors.

Things to see/do in Brisbane

Most places and sights of interest in the city can be found North of the Brisbane River, apart from the Southbank district which, as the name suggests, lies on the southern shores of the river. The CBD is easily navigable on foot, and here you will find City Hall, the Treasury Building, Queen Street Mall, the Botanical Gardens, Roma Street Parkland and the Sciencentre. Walk eastwards from here to the Story Bridge, a Brisbane must-see landmark.

The Southbank Parkland was the site of the 1988 World Expo and has been a popular attraction ever since, with both the locals and visiting tourists. Like a large hotel resort but open to the public and free of charge, the area boasts a stunning riverside walk and man-made beach, a wealth of restaurants, music performances, and bbq spots among other things. It is possible to have a great day on a tight budget here - the atmosphere is marvelous and makes the area great just to walk around, and there is enough to keep you busy for a full day. If you want cheap food, avoid the restaurants. Although they are not astronomically priced, you will certainly pay less for food in a supermarket, which you can then cook at one of the many bbq locations.

Animal lovers will be delighted to find not only the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane, but also the Australia Zoo. The Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is a little outside the city, but easily accessible in your rental car from Argus Car Hire. This attraction is not as cheap as others in the city, but the still relatively low cost of admission is well worth it for the experience. Special rates for families and group discounts are available, and the experience needn't be a budget breaker.

The Australia Zoo is a short drive from Brisbane city, and another of the areas major attractions. The creation of the late Steve Irwin, it is widely commended for being an animal-lover's zoo. Again, admission is not cheap but a lot of money is required to maintain the zoo and take care of the animals. There is also a special deal for family admission here. A fantastic day is guaranteed, so if your budget allows, try to get there during your stay.

Eating out/nightlife in Brisbane

Nightlife in Brisbane is exciting, and the city centre is where the mainstream bars and clubs can be found. Dress code is smart, music is largely inoffensive and chart-ish, and there is a glut of those omnipresent Irish Pubs (where, it must be said, cheap drink and food is a bonus). The more underground and indie scene is largely concentrated in the Fortitude Valley District of Brisbane, where a lot of the trendier and more casual clubs can be found. When partying on a budget, as with anywhere, keep to the less pretentious and glitzy establishments and keep an eye out for special deals, and happy hour discount prices.

Restaurants in Brisbane tend to be cheaper than in Sydney and Melbourne, but are still of a high quality and standard. The cuisine here is wonderfully mottled, with Mediterranean and Asian influences evident on many menus. The prices should please diners on a budget with some great cheap options, and gastronomes who want to splash out on a serious meal will be delighted to find that high-end and fine dining is actually quite low cost in comparison to other Australian cities.
