Jump on the CityHopper for a free river cruise

Get your culture dose at The Gallery of Modern Art

The Gallery of Modern Art offers four levels of boldness, colour and diversity. Entry is free, with hands-on activities for the kids on the basement level. The same building is also home to the Australian Cinémathèque, which shows rare and unusual films not shown elsewhere.


Spoil yourself with the best shopping in Brisbane

If you’re ready to indulge, the city’s Queen Street Mall has everything from international fashion brands to designer boutiques. Be sure to seek out Edward Street for high-end labels, and get to the lively Valley Markets every weekend for local handmade goods and vintage fashion.
