Brisbane hotels

Brisbane is brimming with culture, art, music, and technology. As if that weren’t enough, the Queensland city also manages to offer a waterfront, sandy beach right in the heart of the city, and nighttime tours in illuminated kayaks. Spend your morning climbing the Story Bridge, and then abseil down 30 metres if you have the guts. Laze away your afternoons on the beach or wander around one of Brisbane’s museums, and cap off your day with a fine meal at an impressive restaurant. Brisbane brings every ingredient of a perfect holiday to the table, and it all starts right here on Expedia.

Things to Do in Brisbane

A wealth of wonderful experiences awaits you in Brisbane, where there are activities for nature lovers, art enthusiasts, as well as those just looking to relax. The Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is the world’s oldest such space, and the 18 hectares here are home to hundreds of these cuddly creatures, as well as scores of kangaroos, wombats, and Tasmanian devils. The City Botanic Gardens is another area where you can get intimately familiar with the nature of Brisbane, while the same holds true at the nearby Moreton Island National Park. If, alternatively, exploring the great outdoors is how you’d rather spend your time, head on over to Mount Coot-tha. This grassy peak, which features the highest elevation in Brisbane, invites visitors to trek up to “The Lookout,” where they’ll be greeted by a café, restaurant, and gift shop.

The Museum of Brisbane is a great spot to brush up on your local history, while the Queensland Museum offers an equally educational experience. And if you wish to broaden your horizons as far as local art is concerned, the Queensland Art Gallery and the Gallery of Modern Art showcase paintings, sculptures, and other creations by artists native to Australia.

Weather in Brisbane

The humid subtropical climate in Brisbane generates steamy summers and warm winters. The summer, on average, maintains a maximum temperature of around 30 degrees Celsius, and is when visitors can expect to witness the most rainfall. Winter in Brisbane, however, receives less precipitation than other times of year, and temperatures are more mild in comparison to this country’s other capitals. In fact, winter temperatures here almost never drop into the single digits, even on the coldest days of the year. The autumn and spring seasons in Brisbane offer similarly comfortable conditions, though most locals will tell you that the months between winter and summer are the best times to spend in this area.
