By-Car Hire Guide To Brisbane

Brisbane is the capital city of the Australian state of Queensland, and is a great place to use as a base for a hire car holiday.

Brisbane Overview

Brisbane is packed with museums, shopping centres, parks, bars, nightclubs and family attractions, and it's also close to tourist hotspots like the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.

For a real overview of Brisbane, adventure lovers can get a panoramic view of the city by climbing one of its main landmarks, the Story Bridge. The Story Bridge Adventure Climb takes two and a half hours, and the highest point is 80 metres above the River Brisbane. Dawn, day, twilight and night climbs are offered, each of which will provide you with a completely different experience.

If you prefer to keep your feet on the ground, you can follow Brisbane?s Heritage Trail, which will take you to The Old Windmill, Customs House and several other restored heritage buildings, or the Albert Street Literary Trail, which features pavement plaques with quotes about Brisbane by famous authors. For a more unusual city tour, take a kayaking trip on the River Brisbane to see some of central Brisbane's landmarks or enjoy a balloon ride over the city.

Attractions in Brisbane include the City Botanic Gardens, which offer free guided tours, the Australian Indigenous Tribal Gallery, the Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art, the 19th century St. John's Cathedral and the Brisbane Riverwalk.

For the best shopping opportunities in Brisbane, park up your hire car and explore the Downtown district. This area of Brisbane is home to the Queen Street Mall, which is packed with stores to suit all tastes and budgets. For a taste of local life and colour, visit the open air markets of South Bank and Eagle Street.

Although there is a lot to see and do in Brisbane, getting the most out of your holiday is only really possible if you hire a car. With a hire car, you can explore Queensland and experience its amazing diversity and beauty. Use your Brisbane hire car to drive to the nearby Gold Coast, famous for its theme parks and beaches, or explore the Mount Tamborine area?s national parks. A hire car will enable you to travel at your own pace and in comfort.

If you hire a car in Brisbane, you can also break up your holiday by spending a few nights in another destination, such as Tin Can Bay, where you can feed wild dolphins, or Bundaberg, which is known as the southern gateway to the Great Barrier Reef.
