Things to do in Brisbane

What would you do if you had unlimited money? Well, we don’t think you’d be reading this list. But here you are, looking for free things to do in this fine city – and boy, do we have the goods for you. 

​

If you're looking for things to do on a budget in Brisbane, we’ve compiled the city’s most comprehensive list of available options. Money certainly won’t be a problem here.

Go for a dip at Streets Beach

Ah, the eighth great man-made wonder of the world – Streets Beach at South Bank. The massive beach-style lagoon is popular with tourists and locals keen for a dip in the middle of the city. Lay a towel on the sand and wade into the cool blue waters, cut laps in the Boat Pool next door or let the kids splash about at the Aquativity water park.

Wander through the air-conditioned halls of QAGOMA

The Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art are like yin and yang – two distinct galleries that make a perfect whole. Between them the city showcases world-class art exhibitions that are more often than not free to attend. 

Discover or rediscover the city with a Brisbane Greeter

Speaking of red … have you seen a bunch of very friendly looking people in red shirts with big smiles plastered across their faces? It sounds like you’ve seen a Brisbane Greeter. These passionate volunteers lead small groups around the city telling stories and teaching them cool things about Brisbane. Whether it’s the stock standard basic four-hour Greet, or a more customised street art tour through Fortitude Valley – there is something to learn.
