Attractions

Taking a City Stroll -- Because Brisbane is leafy, warm, and full of colonial-era Queenslander architecture, it is a great city for strolling. Pick up one of the free Heritage Trail Maps from the Brisbane Visitor Information Centre and explore on your own. The map books include a history of the area and excellent detailed information of historic buildings and other sights along the way.

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.
