Where should I go when I'm in Brisbane?

Question

I'll be flying to Brisbane in about a week. I'll be there for two weeks and will be travelling alone for most parts, so I was wondering what are some of the must-sees when in Brisbane. And most importantly, where can I shop up a storm?

Answer 1

You are picking a perfect time to go to Brisbane.  The weather is wonderful at this or any time of year.  Shopping is great at Queen Street Mall in the city.  Public trans. is really good.  The bus station takes you out, and drops you off underground right in the heart of the City.  Milton is a fun part of Brisbane - great places to eat.  Fortitude Valley is fabulous to shop and dine.  I'll be going in two months, and I'm really excited.  Tons and tons of designer shops are in the city as well as just across the Brisbane River is another fabolous shopping area.  You can walk all over this area, or just jump on a city bus.  The people are very nice - and friendly.  Have a great time!

Answer 2

You should def go for a road trip down to the Gold Coast, its only about 1 hour & 40 mins, and you can shop, eat and go to the awesome beaches!!! There is Pacific Fair shopping centre, which isnt much compared to brisbane, but still good, you can hit up any beaches along the coast and check out Surfers Paradise.. :)

Answer 3

Like the other answerer said, its a great time of year to come, warm but not too cool or hot. Anyway, some of the best places to visit:

Milton

The Valley

The science museum, that awesome

Parliament house, it sounds really boring but actually its kinda just a weird place...go when its not in session.

Take the City Cats they are sooo cool

The museums are good

One really cool place thats always overlooked is the Port of Brisbane, that's actually awesome, its got heaps of big boats and really interesting, cool stuff.

Mt Cootha is great, also check out some of the parks in the city center.

Go to a footy game at the Gabba, thats cool.

And if you have time, a trip to the Gold or Sunshine coast is worth it.3

And of course, for shopping, the Queen Street Mall! Its CHOKERS with shops and stuff!
