Reopen and available to the public once again, here are the top 7 things you can do in Brisbane!
Shopping and Dining
Brisbane is famous for its shopping and dining scene, ranging from the cool boutique-lined streets of Fortitude Valley to the world-famous shopping and dining mecca that is Brisbane’s Queen Street Mall. Restaurants and shops are open with precautions in place (visitor limits, distancing, increased sanitation, contactless payments etc.) so feel safe going on a dinner date, exploring the cafés or shopping for that designer jacket.
