As an Asian womon, it might be dangerous, especially around teenagers, but overall it’s a pretty good place! Public transport is currently only 50 cents, so it’s very affordable. It has beautiful natural scenery and plenty of great restaurants. Although it’s a smaller city than Sydney or Melbourne, its wide variety of events and warm climate make it a perfect place to live or visit.

That was such a good trip, i was studying in an english school then traveling with my friends and we loved it so much ! It is a Little city so ne need to stay more than 1 week or 2, but there are a lot of things to do next to it since it is near the gold coast !

Brisbane was a fun city. There for 4 days and got to experience some of the wildlife they have and explore the city. Night life is really active. People were mildly friendly. Cleanliness was not bad but not great. Food options were endless. Shopping was top tier. Prices were not great. Ubers were expensiiivvveee.

Very safe, especially the inner city. No money scams or pickpocketing… public transport staff are always helpful, as well as most locals. Nightlife is quite tame although there can be the usual rowdy people. Still friendly though.
Posted: July 21, 2026The inner city is easy to navigate and public transportation is phenomenal. Bus stops, train stops- they all feel generally safe and it doesn’t bother me to walk around alone at night. Absolutely take caution wherever you travel, but Brisbane is in no way a high risk or crime ridden city.
Posted: January 20, 2026I think it’s reasonably safe to walk around outside at night, but obviously always need to stay vigilant. I personally have no had any bad experiences but there are many people around who feel entitled and have potential to hurt.
Posted: December 31, 2025Super safe. I have walked home alone at 3 in the night. In the city and fortitude valley though there are people who may be under the influence and might try to talk to you, I just ignore and keep walking.

About me
I'm Agnes, 42yrs old. But very young at heart. Try to have loads of fun and take life not too seriously. When travelling, I love to be shown things off the beaten path. Not interested in that Instagram awesome restaurant. I want to eat where locals eat. Also keen for some urban exploring (abandoned buildings) I'm an animal lover and won't join in un-ethical animal encounters (bathing elephants, swimming with dolphins, etc) If you're like-minded and want to catch up for an adventure, get in touch!!
