Brisbane City has something for everyone, whether you’re here for work or leisure. Right in the heart of the CBD, you'll find Queen Street Mall — a bustling shopping precinct filled with local boutiques, major retailers, and lively street performers. Just around the corner, the iconic Treasury Casino offers entertainment, dining, and nightlife, while the stunning Brisbane City Botanic Gardens provide a peaceful escape with riverfront walking paths and lush greenery.
​
Venture just a few minutes in one direction and you’ll arrive at South Bank, Brisbane’s cultural hub with museums, parklands, and riverside dining. Head the other way down Ann Street and in just three minutes you’ll be in the heart of Fortitude Valley — known for its uber-trendy boutiques, cafes, bars, and live music scene.
​
If you’re in town midweek, be sure to check out the Brisbane City Markets every Wednesday at the end of Queen Street Mall, and on Thursdays at Cathedral Square along Ann Street. These markets are perfect for picking up fresh local produce, artisan goods, and delicious street food.
​
For a memorable dining experience, Howard Smith Wharves is just 1.3 km away — a riverside precinct home to some of Brisbane’s most popular restaurants, craft breweries, and bars, all with sweeping views of the Story Bridge.
