Dubbed the River City, Brisbane is known for its laidback lifestyle, alfresco dining and picturesque city skyline amid lush parks and a meandering river.

It is the state capital of Queensland and one of those rare cities built around people and lifestyle.

Explore the vibrant city centre, where glass office towers and sandstone heritage buildings share the broad tree-lined streets or front the river. Trendy cafes, lush parks and riverside walks add to the city’s picturesque charm.

You can also venture beyond the city and enjoy its nearby islands, bays and country retreats.
