　　Jutting out over the city's big, brown waterway, the Brisbane Riverwalk offers a novel way of surveying the Brisbane skyline. The 870m-long path – divided into separate walking and cycling lanes – runs between Howard Smith Wharves and the salubrious suburb of New Farm. The Riverwalk replaces the original floating walkway, washed away in the floods of 2011.

Must-see attractions

Eat Street Northshore

　　Brisbane's riverside take on the night food market feels like a gastronomic carnival, its village of shipping-containers-turned-kitchens peddling everything from freshly shucked oysters to Japanese yakisoba, South American grilled meats, American mac-and-cheese and Sicilian cannoli. Add craft brews, live tunes and a handful of quirky retailers and you have one...

Queensland Art Gallery

　　While Brisbane's main art museum includes numerous international works, its forte is its Australia collection. This includes works by heavyweights like Sidney Nolan, Russell Drysdale, Arthur Boyd, Charles Blackman, William Dobell, Margaret Olley and Howard Arkley. A robust collection of Indigenous Australian works features paintings and pottery by artists from...

Museum of Brisbane

　　On the 3rd floor of City Hall, this forward-thinking museum explores historic and modern aspects of Brisbane, offering fresh, progressive insights into Queensland's capital. Exhibitions to date have explored themes as varied as contemporary Brisbane fashion, the city's robust music scene and the relationship between architecture, art, people and place....

South Bank Parklands

　　Should you sunbake on a sandy beach, saunter through a rainforest, or eye-up a Nepalese peace pagoda? You can do all three in this 17.5-hectare park overlooking the city centre. Its canopied walkways lead to performance spaces, lush lawns, eateries and bars, and regular free events ranging from fitness classes...

Felix for Goodness

　　Spruced-up Felix channels Melbourne with its laneway locale, industrial fit-out and effortlessly cool vibe. Produce-driven, all-day-brunch dishes might include poppyseed pikelets with whipped ricotta, roasted stone fruit and saffron-cardamon syrup, or a bowl of golden falafel served with cauliflower, currants, tabbouleh, sauerkraut and muhammara (hot pepper dip). Wash it down...

Alba Bar & Delicatessen

　　Pintxos and hip-hop beats make for interesting bedfellows at Alba, a new-school laneway bar from former Masterchef Australia contestant Jamie Fleming. Drinks include cocktails and lesser-known wine varietals, paired perfectly with rotating lunchtime bocadillos (Spanish sandwiches; served until 3pm weekdays only) and all-day tapas-style bites, served Monday to Saturday. The...

Queensland Cultural Centre

　　On South Bank, just over Victoria Bridge from the CBD, the Queensland Cultural Centre is the epicentre of Brisbane’s cultural confluence. Surrounded by subtropical gardens, the string of architecturally notable buildings includes the Queensland Performing Arts Centre, the Queensland Museum & Sciencentre, the Queensland Art Gallery, the State Library of...

University of Queensland Art Museum

　　Occupying a striking glass-and-concrete building on the University of Queensland's verdant grounds, this progressive public gallery serves up temporary exhibitions of mainly modern and contemporary Australian art. Its permanent collection is one of the state's most important, with a nationally significant collection of self-portraits. The most enjoyable way to get...

　　Fronted by a row of sequoia-sized Corinthian columns, Australia's largest city hall was built between 1920 and 1930. Although free, fascinating heritage tours (45 minutes) of the sandstone behemoth should be booked in advance (online or by phone); they can be available on the day from the excellent on-site Museum...

Brisbane Powerhouse

　　On the eastern flank of New Farm Park stands the Powerhouse, a once-derelict power station superbly transformed into a contemporary arts centre. Its innards pimped with graffiti remnants, industrial machinery and old electrical transformers-turned-lights, the centre hosts a range of events, including art exhibitions, theatre, live music and comedy. You'll...

Gallery of Modern Art

　　All angular glass, concrete and black metal, must-see GOMA celebrates modern and contemporary art, with a particular emphasis on Australian, Asian and Pacific artists. Regularly changing exhibitions spotlight everything from painting, sculpture and photography to video and installation art, while GOMA's Australian Cinémathèque screens unique, often rare films and video...

Old Government House

　　Queensland's most important heritage building, this 1862 showpiece was designed by estimable government architect Charles Tiffin as a residence for Sir George Bowen, Queensland’s first governor. The lavish innards were restored in 2009 and the property offers free podcast tours and one-hour guided tours; the latter must be booked in...
