Things to do in Brisbane
Brisbane might just be Australia’s most effortlessly likeable city. It’s sunny without being scorching, artsy without feeling pretentious and packed with easygoing charm at every bend of its river. One minute you’re hand-feeding kangaroos at a wildlife sanctuary, the next you’re sipping wine in the rainforest or soaking in a sweeping city view from Mt. Coot-tha. Brisbane cruises open the door to both urban highlights and nature escapes — no tough choices required.
