Family travel

There are plenty of nice cafes and places to eat! I also love walking by the river at Kangaroo Point and New Farm or attending a salsa class in West End. However, safety at night can be a concern, I wouldn’t walk alone at night.

Solo travel

Art galleries are very cool. Great free walking tour from the Brisbane greeters. Kayak through Brisbane guided tour- fun experience but would recommend just paying to hire the kayak as it wasn’t much of a tour. I stayed in fortitude valley, and the other travellers where mostly in groups and aged 18- 24

The 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.

I 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.

Super 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.
