This half-day tour provides a great overview of the city centre and surrounding suburbs of Brisbane. Hear the history of this ever growing city and see why more and more Australian's love to call Brisbane home.
Brisbane City Center
During this drive you will pass highlights including Parliament House, the Treasury Building, Customs House, Cultural Centre, the magnificent Brisbane Botanic Gardens and many other historical and landmark properties. Brisbane has the look of a city that has recently grown-up. Much of the old and unsightly has been bulldozed and replaced with glittering glass and concrete towers, hotels and paved shopping malls. The meandering Brisbane River, lush inner city parks and the unusual blend of historic and modern architecture make this city one not to be missed.
Enjoy a brief photo stop on Mt Coot-tha after climbing 230 metres above sea level for an unequalled view over the sleek skyscrapers of the city of modern Brisbane and the picturesque suburban areas from the lookout.
