Brisbane, the sunny river city, offers a smorgasbord of activities to suit every taste. Kick off with a stroll along South Bank’s man-made Streets Beach, because who needs the ocean when you’ve got a city beach? For the culture vultures, the Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art serve up a feast of contemporary and indigenous art. Feeling adventurous? Take a river cruise or hop on a Story Bridge climb for views that make you forget you’re in a city. For foodies, the Eat Street Markets are a carnival of international flavours that'll have you loosening your belt. And if you just want to blend in with the locals, a lazy afternoon at the Botanic Gardens or a brewery tour should do the trick.
