Cheap Hotels and Accommodation
Set on the winding Brisbane River, the Brisbane CBD offers much to do for business travellers and holiday makers alike. Stroll through the Queen Street Mall with an amazing range of shopping opportunities for all levels of luxury. Wander through the beautiful Botanical Gardens or hire a bike and ride along the river bank. Climb or abseil the sheer cliffs at Kangaroo Point or take a walk or rollerblade over the floating walkways of Brisbane Riverwalk or sign up for the Story Bridge Climb with stunning views of the city. On the River, take a cruie on the majestic paddlesteamer or jump on the CityCat and take a ride from Portside Wharf at Hamilton all the way to the University of Queensland.
Across the river from the CBD is the magnificent South Bank Parklands with an array of leisure activities including a man-made beach, perfect for families. There is a wide range of shops, cafes and restaurants catering to all tastes.

Just outside the CBD, the RNA Showgrounds are home to the annual Brisbane Exhibition, known as the Ekka, plus also Oktoberfest and other cultural events.
