Taking a City Stroll
Because Brisbane is leafy, warm, and full of Colonial-Era Queenslander architecture, it is a great city for strolling. A self-guided walking tour, the Brisbane City Walk, takes you to 30 attractions -- from shopping precincts to historic buildings, and links through three inner-city parks -- Southbank Parklands, Roma Street Parkland, and the City Botanic Gardens. The route is marked on a map distributed by the Brisbane Visitor Information Centre in the Queen Street Mall Information Centre, or you can download it at www.ourbrisbane.com/maps/brisbanecitywalk/bcwmaps.htm.
A "floating" River Walk connects more than 20km (13 miles) of pathways, roads, bridges, and parks along the Brisbane River. You can stroll along River Walk on the north bank of the river between the University of Queensland at St. Lucia and Teneriffe, and on the south bank from the West End ferry terminal at Orleigh Park to Dockside at Kangaroo Point.
