Things to do in Brisbane

Story Bridge is one of Brisbane’s most striking structures and taking the adventure climb to the top gives you a stunning birds-eye perspective of the city and its surrounds. Those brave enough to scale to the summit may even want to test their gumption by taking the 30-metre abseil back down to terra firma. Another of Brisbane’s architectural beauties is the Brisbane Powerhouse, a beautifully restored power station that has been given a new lease on life as a cultural precinct. Admire the 1920s design or catch a live performance from an extensive program featuring comedy, dance or music. Art gurus can wander through the Queensland Art Gallery & Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA), which is home to a stellar collection of Australian and international masterpieces. Try your hand at kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding on the Brisbane River, or if you prefer a more leisurely way of seeing the water you can book onto a river cruise or one of the CityCat ferries. Hop off the ferry and visit the Kangaroo Point Cliffs. Climb the hills, run one of the many trails or take a leisurely walk next to the river. Then swing by the Brisbane Jazz Club to enjoy a glass of local Queensland wine and take in the million-dollar views of the CBD as you unwind to live local and international acts.
