What to expect
The city is centred on the Brisbane River, with neighbourhoods like South Bank, Fortitude Valley, and New Farm offering cultural venues, dining, and nightlife. You will find a compact, walkable centre, efficient public transport, and many outdoor spaces designed for relaxed, everyday enjoyment.
