Brisbane Things to Do

Put your walking shoes on, travelers! Visitors to Brisbane with an extra hour to spare should find themselves at Central Station. From here, the Albert Street Literary Walk can be accessed, taking people on a journey to 32 brass plaques with literary quotes set in the pavement.

Brisbane, traditionally considered by travelers as not much more than the capital of Queensland and a stopover on the way to the tropical north, has in recent years done its part in acquiring a more funky and modern city vibe. In other words, it’s a growing city (around 1,000 people move to Brisbane every week) with plenty of fun to keep the casual traveler entertained on weekend trips or long journeys up the east coast of Australia.

Tourists, history buffs and television crime drama enthusiasts alike stop at the Queensland Police Museum. Here you can learn about policing but also to try your hand at solving the mystery set at one of the most popular of the 25 displays: the simulated murder scene.
