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.
Posted: July 9, 2024Art 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
Posted: June 1, 2024I moved here 3 years ago and do really love it. Smaller city but expanding. So much to do with sunny coast and Gold Coast and Byron bay near. Really safe but Ofcoarse depends where in Brisbane you are just like all cities
Posted: May 31, 2024Public transport is quite bad and ends early on weekends. Always google and check! Do look around the University of Queensland. The great court is really pretty. The fake beach at southbank is not worth visiting. Drive up a little to Sunshine Coast and u can see more beautiful beaches. Noosa's Hell's Gate hike was the prettiest hike I've ever been to. Saw so many wild dolphins up close and humpback whales during the whale season. The beaches are beautiful too. Drive down a little to Lamington National Park. Mount Tamborine is beautiful. The drive was really pretty too. Go even further down and u can get to Byron Bay. The lighthouse gives u really good view of the sea and you can see humpback whales there too if you are lucky!
Posted: October 25, 2023Experienced: June, 2023The surroundings of Brisbane are charming. Without a doubt, the Gold Coast offers a more exciting urban leisure experience, and for fans of this type of entertainment, there are also theme parks there. On the Sunshine Coast, there are beautiful beaches, cafes, and restaurants. On both the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast, you can find fantastic hiking trails. All the sandy islands are great, especially for diving. Cairns is definitely one of the highlights of the holidays. The town may not be the most beautiful, but it serves as a multicultural center of Australia. You can find wonderful dishes from many different cuisines. It's a place where the reef meets the rainforest, literally. You can drive 20 minutes outside the city center and swim in streams in the rainforest with crystal clear water, or take a one-hour boat trip to two islands surrounded by a reef. There are also plenty of distilleries, a few wineries, a cheese factory, markets, etc. It is a really pleasant city to enjoy the tropical climate.
Posted: August 26, 2022Incredible restaurants on Southbank, criminals on the Howard Smith Wharves, it's a great place for a Sunday afternoon. Be sure to visit the Sunshine Coast, Caloundra, Mooloolaba, and Noosa. Any restaurant on Hasting Street in Noosa will be amazing. The best beaches in the world. Also, if you can get to Airlie beach, there is a fantastic catamaran tour, a journey around the Whitsundays, which will take you to the reef for snorkeling.

It's a pretty safe city, there are always dodgy areas and specific suburbs, but for the most part it's a safe place to be. Be careful if you're going out clubbing/don't go alone, but I think that's pretty universal
Posted: March 20, 2025Brisbane overall is pretty safe, there are some areas which are more of a problem than usual, and people should always be careful after dark but I've never had anything happen to me in the last 7 years personally even in some of the more male dominated areas.

Im a student. I can speak English and some Japanese but am trying to learn dutch. Open to all adventure Im an INTP but I love learning new languages and cultures so im trying to meet different people (Although I can't drive im pretty good at navigating bus routes) 大学生です。 英語を話すことできます すごし日本語とオランダ語をはなすことできます。 オーストラリアに行け時に君は日本語が話したいもし、私と話してください。 今、日本語はとても下手ですけど、多分、たくさんれんしゅうをしたいで、日本語がわかります。 大学で日本語を勉強します。 Ik ben universitair student. Ik kan spreekt engles en ik wilt leren nederlanse and japanse. Nu mijn nederlanse ist vreselijk, omdat ik kan niet veel oefening. Maar als je mij wilt helpen oefenen, moeten we praten. Ik leer Nederlands door zelfstudie, dus het is moeilijk (For some reason, I can write and read languages better than speak and understand)
