Brisbane Greeters

Brisbane Greeters is a FREE public service open to everyone. Whether you’re a local, here on business, a student, visiting or choosing Brisbane as your new home, we’re looking forward to meeting you.

Tours & Transport

However there are advantages to the tourist bus. The obvious one is that it links all the tourist destinations. But you can also get great views from the open top deck and there is ongoing commentary. Overall it acts as a Brisbane tour, so most people get on the bus and maybe get off at only a few stops while seeing the rest of the sights. This one is something you put your elderly relatives on rather than take yourself.

Eat & Drink

Food and drink is something we take seriously in Brisbane – whether it’s a steak at a pub, a good coffee or a five-star degustation.  Our pleasant outdoor climate and abundance of fresh produce mean we often eat al fresco-style, and our menus feature delicious locally sourced ingredients. From Moreton Bay prawns to greens from the Lockyer Valley, you’ll discover Queensland’s largest collection of Good Food Guide-awarded restaurants, cafes and bars in the region.

Arts & Entertainment

One thing is certain – Brisbane is a hotbed of cultural and creative offerings, festivals and events. Exclusive blockbuster exhibitions and inspiring theatre productions sit alongside independent and emerging local performances, outdoor cinema, street art and intimate gallery and performance spaces. Lovers of comedy, musicals, live theatre and dance head to the Brisbane Powerhouse and QPAC. The Queensland Museum and QAGOMA offer free entry to permanent exhibitions. Fortitude Valley and West End are go-to destinations for local live music gigs and DJs, while international acts visit the Brisbane Entertainment Centre or Suncorp Stadium.

Sport & Recreation

We love our sport. From home-grown rugby league clashes, to cricket at the famous Gabba ground or the action of the Brisbane International tennis. If you’d rather play sport than watch it, head to Kangaroo Point and hold your breath as you abseil 20m down the 20-million-year-old cliffs in just 20 seconds, or rock climb your way to the top. See Brisbane from a kayak as you paddle your way around every bend of the river, or see it from above on the Story Bridge Adventure Climb. Walk, run, cycle or rollerblade along more than 20km of the Riverwalk, or spend the day swimming and snorkelling at nearby Moreton or North Stradbroke Islands.

Nature & Wildlife

Blessed with parks and pristine natural places, Brisbane always feels like a green city. Right in the heart of The City is Roma Street Parkland and the City Botanic Gardens. Then there’s the extensive South Bank Parklands, with its famous beach, free barbecues, riverside dining and cultural precinct. Just 10 minutes out of Brisbane City you’ll discover the bush trails of Mt Coot-tha. It’s easy to spend a day on nearby Moreton Bay, home to some of the world’s largest sand islands, or escape to the heritage-listed forests of the Scenic Rim.

Shopping

From Queensland’s premier shopping precinct, The City to local favourites Fortitude Valley and Paddington, you’ll discover shopping experiences like no other in Brisbane. The City offers more than 1000 stores, four vibrant precincts and the state’s largest collection of flagship stores. The vibe may be quieter in the nearby urban villages, but the shopping is just as good. Head to Fortitude Valley for local designers and high-end fashion at James Street and the Emporium, Woolloongabba for antiques and collectables and Paddington for homewares.

Nightlife

From classic watering holes on every second corner to sophisticated bars with where you can lie back and listen to music that never stops – our pubs, bars and live-music venues are the perfect meeting places. Our urban villages entice, with a range of intimate nightspots and live music. In particular, West End and Fortitude Valley are perfect to see emerging bands, enjoy live indie-rock, get up close to national and international acts or groove to innovative jazz bands.

Fun for Free

They say that the best things in life are free and the same could be said for some of Brisbane’s best free activities.

Catch jazz music in parks and up-and-coming artists Queen Street Mall with City Sounds, there are plenty of multicultural festivals and weekend markets.
