Your days are free to explore Brisbane and get to know the city in your own way. With temperatures rarely dipping below the 70’s, Brisbane is primed for days outside:
- Stroll to the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens (a local favorite just a ten minute walk from your hotel), with walking trails along the riverbanks, shady trees, ponds and garden beds.
- Spend a day exploring the length of the Brisbane River, from Streets Beach in the South Bank Parklands (a beach in the middle of the city!) to the cliff walks, kayaking and incredible city views at Kangaroo Point Cliffs Park.
