Better known as “Brissy,” is the capital of the state of Queensland (QLD).
If you love summer, this city is perfect for you, as it enjoys excellent weather all year round—even during winter—so you can enjoy the outdoors at any time. Brisbane is also known as the city of “eternal summer,” meaning the climate will never be a problem for you.
It is a relatively small city, but constantly growing, with a much more relaxed atmosphere than Melbourne or Sydney.
In Brisbane, you can get around in different ways: bus, train, and ferry (the ferries are also known as CityCat). To access public transport, you’ll need a Go Card, which you can top up with the amount you choose and use across all transport options.
Around the city, you’ll find stunning beaches and charming towns to visit, such as Sunshine Coast and Byron Bay. Brisbane is the perfect starting point for unforgettable road trips along Australia’s East Coast.
