OVERVIEW

The state capital of Queensland is a laid back sub-tropical city that makes the most of it's great weather and riverside location to provide an enjoyable and relaxing city break.

Whilst not being quite on the scale of Sydney or Melbourne, Brisbane has more than enough things to do to keep you happily occupied for a few days, especially if you are willing to go a little way out of the city to explore Moreton Bay, the national parks, the Gold Coast or the Sunshine Coast, all of which are an hour or so away.

 

Take a look at the list below and see what attractions in Brisbane stand out for you.

Ready to check prices and availability?

Check Hotel rates or availability

Booking.com is one of the most popular hotel booking websites, they have a wide range of accommodation types and they often have free cancellation, so you can always book and lock in your room with the option to cancel it later. Click the image to see what amazing hotel you could be staying at soon.

We also like Hotels.com who offer an excellent user friendly website, good service, and a good loyalty program where you get a free night for every 10 nights you book through them.

Check Flight rates or availability

Virgin Australia are up there with Qantas in terms of quality of service and they have an extensive number of routes across Australia. Click the image to see what options they have for you to experience an exemplary start to your trip.

If you want to check up on Jetstar, it is best to book through their site directly at jetstar.com as this gives you the best price and full availability. Just remember that checked luggage costs extra.

For flights with Qantas, try looking at auntbetty.com which is operated by Flight Centre. It's an easy to use flight search website that gives you the true price (unlike others, that show dodgy prices) and back-up support from your local Flight Centre store.

This site is supported financially by affiliate links. This means that, should you click on a link to a hotel or airline website, for example, we receive a small commission. The price that you pay is not affected by this. Find out more about this on our About page.

"These links are recommended because I use them myself. They are easy to use sites, offer excellent service, and are sites that I would suggest to my friends and family if they asked."
