Experiences
Brisbane's South Bank region offers the best of everything. Whether you're looking for an exciting event, cultural activities, green spaces, natural wonders or world-class exhibitions - you'll find the lot in Brisbane. Savour the food and wine, discover a country pub, delve into a little art or history - it's all laid on for you.
South Bank is just the perfect spot to be with the cafés, restaurants, boutiques and cultural experiences that have come to characterise Brisbane's inner-city lifestyle. Go exploring right on your doorstep at South Bank Parklands. Lush foliage, public beach, lagoons and picnic areas are all waiting to be discovered, and afterwards Little Stanley Street's cosmopolitan strip of restaurants, bars and boutiques beckons.
