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.

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.

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.
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.

Hello beautiful humans! I'm Soren, studying in Brisbane AUS for the time being. I've grown up a little north of this city, always travelling the coast and getting out in nature when I can. I'd love to share this part of the world with other curious people :)

Hi - I travel quite a lot for folk music - I’ve been in the UK for 3 months the last 3 yrs; then walk the Camino - when in OZ I also travel for music - so much to do and I sometimes feel ‘so little time’ ! I’m on the road permanently so unable to host !
