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

Solo travel

I 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

Group travel

Public 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!

During the day most parts are safe but night can be dangerous especially around train and bus stations as well as parts of the city (alleyway areas). If you're sure to not walk with headphones and be aware of your surroundings it is normally safe and I have been out many times with very few incidents. It can also be dangerous to approach people sleeping on the footpath as I have been attacked before doing this so definitely dont do this.

Generally safe but need to take care in the inner city/Spring hill after dark due to drug abuse. Some areas are poorly lit (outside CBD). Some harrassment from men and teenage boys to be expected - generally comments.

Brisbane has always felt safe to me. I've often gone out at night, to well populated venues, and walked or scootered home in the evening. I've lived here on and off for 20 years and not had any scary moments or uncertainty.

Brisbane is safe for us! I really enjoy The public transport is not the best but is ok, you can walk safely 24 hours, go to shopping or whatever you want at any time. The clubs are ok, nothing much append

I would say that Brisbane is a safe city. Of course you have to be careful at night and when out at a bar or club but i feel this is standard everywhere. However during the day, public transportation and public spaces are all safe. As a native english speaker I am unsure of how easy it is to navigate if your not.
