I would be lying if I said I didn&#8217;t enjoy the all-year-round pleasant subtropical temperatures there. Along with the gorgeous Queensland weather, another thing I love about Brisbane is the food! To help you plan your own unforgettable Queensland itinerary, here are just some of the highlights from my short trip.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>A Brisbane Queensland Itinerary<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9779\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/tropics.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1512\" height=\"86\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Shop &#8217;til You Drop at Queen Street Mall<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Located in the centre of the CBD, going on a shopping spree at the Queens Street Mall is one of my favourite things to do in Queensland. With more than 700 stores, shops, bars, and cafes, I never ran out of options when it comes to shopping.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30717 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Queen-Street-Mall.jpg\" alt=\"Queen Street Mall in Brisbane\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But behind all the glitters, the street is imbued with a bit of history. There are some cool things around the area such as the city hall and the clock tower, which my friends and I climbed to get great city views.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30718 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Brisbane-CBD.jpg\" alt=\"A selfie at Brisbane CBD\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[button style=&#8217;blue&#8217; icon=&#8221;entypo-suitcase&#8221; url=&#8217;https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/Queen-Street-Mall-Hotels.0-l6061077-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels&#8217; fullwidth=&#8217;true&#8217;] Find Hotels near Queen Street Mall [\/button]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A Picnic at South Bank Gardens<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>After a morning of shopping, I spent some time relaxing at South Bank, one of the top Queensland attractions. This 17-hectare garden in Brisbane finely combines green parklands with exciting shopping opportunities and major cultural locations. It was a lovely picnic spot with plenty of restaurants around and definitely worthy of a spot on any Queensland itinerary.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30719 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/brisbane-south-bank.jpg\" alt=\"Brisbane sign at the South Bank\" width=\"1000\" height=\"664\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[button style=&#8217;blue&#8217; icon=&#8221;entypo-suitcase&#8221; url=&#8217;https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/South-Bank-Hotels.d6125848.Travel-Guide-Hotels&#8217; fullwidth=&#8217;true&#8217;] Find Hotels in South Bank [\/button]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Explore the Suburb of Paddington and Eat Breakfast at Kettle &amp; Tin<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On the weekend, I just had to pay Paddington a visit. Paddington is definitely my favourite suburb in Brisbane thanks to its small and unique fashion boutiques. It was impossible for me to leave this suburb empty-handed especially if I went to the Paddington Antique Centre, which had all the vintage trinkets I was eyeing on.<\/p>\n<p>Before I started browsing around, I usually went to Kettle &amp; Tin for a perk-me-up breakfast. I cannot recommend the \u201comelette of the moment\u201d or the \u201calmond French toast\u201d enough.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30720 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Kettle-Tin-cafe.jpg\" alt=\"Dishes from Kettle &amp; Tin in Paddington\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[button style=&#8217;blue&#8217; icon=&#8221;entypo-suitcase&#8221; url=&#8217;https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/Paddington-Hotels.d6003551.Travel-Guide-Hotels&#8217; fullwidth=&#8217;true&#8217;] Find Hotels in Paddington [\/button]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Take in the Views at Mount Coot-tha<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Paddington is not far from Mount Coot-tha, a perfect place with breathtaking views to spend a romantic sunset with my better half. The panoramic bird&#8217;s eye view of the whole city was like no other.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30721 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/149058-Mount-Coot-Tha-1.jpg\" alt=\"Views from Mount Coot-tha\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Botanical Gardens at Mount Coot-tha was my sweet spot for picnic apart from South Bank Gardens. Although I prefer staying outdoor enjoying the stunning sights of Brisbane in the beautiful Queensland weather, my friends enjoy visiting the planetarium once in a while.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30722 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Sir-Thomas-Brisbane-Planetarium.jpg\" alt=\"Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[button style=&#8217;blue&#8217; icon=&#8221;entypo-suitcase&#8221; url=&#8217;https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/Mt-Coot-Tha-Hotels.0-l6061071-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels?rfrr=TG.LP.Filter.Attraction&#8217; fullwidth=&#8217;true&#8217;] Find Hotels near Mount Coot-Tha [\/button]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Abseil from Kangaroo Point Cliffs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Kangaroo Point Cliffs is the place to fight your fears, and it had been on my Queensland itinerary list for quite some time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30723 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Kangaroo-Point-Cliffs.jpg\" alt=\"View from Kangaroo Point Cliffs\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The cliff is popular among rock climbers looking not only for a new spot for Queensland activities but also for a fantastic view of the Brisbane River. I am a bit of an adrenaline junkie, so my heart is definitely stilled here.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you&#8217;re not into climbing, you could still get to see the heart of Brisbane from here. After pulling myself up to conquer the rock, I always hit the cafe on top of the cliffs to get a cold juice to quench my thirst.<\/p>\n<p>[button style=&#8217;blue&#8217; icon=&#8221;entypo-suitcase&#8221; url=&#8217;https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/Kangaroo-Point-Hotels.d181097.Travel-Guide-Hotels&#8217; fullwidth=&#8217;true&#8217;] Find Hotels near Kangaroo Point [\/button]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Sunset at River Bar &amp; Kitchen<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When I first came to River Bar &amp; Kitchen, I thought there&#8217;s nothing new about sunset \u2014 I had seen so many amazing sunsets before! But River Bar &amp; Kitchen topped it all off: fabulous food and drinks in a cosy lounge with a fantastic sunset view. I have lost count how many times I have been here! Make sure you don&#8217;t miss this spot off your Queensland itinerary.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30724 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/riverbar-brisbane.jpg\" alt=\"River bar in Brisbane\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 8px;\"><em>Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@scottiewarman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Scott Warman<\/a>)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>My recommendation would be the fish and chips and the golden calamari, with some beer to kickstart the night. If you are a sunrise person, you can still come here for breakfast. I heard good reviews about their Riverbar breakfast or hot smoked salmon, but I just couldn&#8217;t wake up that early!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Experience Luxury at the Treasury Casino <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30725 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Treasury-Casino.jpg\" alt=\"Treasury Casino in Brisbane, Queensland\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of the award-winning hotels in Brisbane, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/Brisbane-Hotels-Treasury-Brisbane.h7365.Hotel-Information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Treasury<\/a> is all about luxury and entertainment. The Treasury is highly popular for its casino floors, but nope, I&#8217;m not a big fan of casinos. I found myself coming back here for drinks every now and then. The lavish exterior may be a little intimidating at first, but the interior is cosy. With 5 bars inside this historic property, the Treasury is my top pick for a post-work night out with my buddies. Whether you want to go all causal or all formal, there is always a place for you.<\/p>\n<p>[button style=&#8217;blue&#8217; icon=&#8221;entypo-suitcase&#8221; url=&#8217;https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/Treasury-Casino-Hotels.0-l6210378-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels&#8217; fullwidth=&#8217;true&#8217;] Find Hotels near Treasury Casino [\/button]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cuddle a Koala at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You cannot <a href=\"https:\/\/travelblog.expedia.com.sg\/travel-tips-inspiration\/australia-on-budget\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">visit Australia<\/a> without cuddling the animal the country is so well known for. Koalas are such sweethearts that I, despite having stayed in Australia for so long, still cannot resist them. I have visited several koala sanctuaries across the country, and the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary ranks high on my list. I was quite surprised when I first carried the koala \u2014 it&#8217;s heavier than what I expected.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30726 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Lone-Pine-Koala-Sanctuary.jpg\" alt=\"A koala at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[button style=&#8217;blue&#8217; icon=&#8221;entypo-suitcase&#8221; url=&#8217;https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/Lone-Pine-Koala-Sanctuary-Hotels.0-l6061069-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels&#8217; fullwidth=&#8217;true&#8217;] Find Hotels near Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary [\/button]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Getting Our Booze at Fortitude Valley<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Brisbane is sometimes dubbed Bris-Vegas because of its vibrant nightlife, especially at the Fortitude Valley. It is the epicentre to discover a grungy side and the best graffiti in the city.<\/p>\n<p>Every time I was looking for a cool party and delicious food, the Eleven Rooftop Bar came to my mind. My friends and I should have applied for a VVIP card, considering how often we frequented this bar for drinks and fantastic views over the Fortitude Valley.<\/p>\n<p>It makes sense to stay close by so you don&#8217;t have to tour in a taxi through the whole city.

Participate in a deep-water dolphin adventure, feed the cute little penguins and fill your camera with memorable photos. I am guilty of all the touristy checklist myself!<\/p>\n<p>Brisbane is my former home, a place that has lots of sights and stories to share, there are really no excuses to not visit this city on your own.
