Tour description
Brisbane is the sunny, easygoing capital of Queensland, a subtropical river city that has grown into one of Australia's most liveable metropolises. Wrapped around a winding river and blessed with a warm climate, it blends colonial heritage with modern riverside living. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its history and relaxed charm.
You will admire the grand City Hall, wander streets of colonial sandstone buildings, and stroll the lush riverfront. Along the way you will hear about the convict origins of the settlement and the city's transformation into a modern capital. Warm and welcoming, Brisbane is a pleasant city to explore on foot.
