Brisbane

Brisbane’s river links a city of galleries, gardens and lively places to eat. South Bank holds the major cultural institutions, while Fortitude Valley and New Farm offer a different mix of restaurants, boutiques and evening energy. The Story Bridge gives the skyline its familiar shape, and the gardens at Mt Coot-tha reward a trip beyond the centre. Staying near the river makes a useful starting point for exploring the city’s distinct neighbourhoods.
