Best free spots for views & local experiences
Brisbane is packed with free experiences that showcase the best of the city. Hop aboard the free CityHopper ferry to explore the Brisbane River, then spend some time relaxing at South Bank Parklands, home to Australia's only inner-city beach and vibrant weekend markets.
Discover Queensland's culture with free entry to the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) and the Queensland Museum, or browse fresh produce and local crafts at the West End Markets every Saturday.
Looking to cool off? Take a dip at one of Brisbane's free pools and swimming spots, or for something truly unique, walk across to King Island at low tide via the 1km natural sandbank. If you're curious about the night sky, visit the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium and journey through the wonders of the universe.
For sunset, head to Kangaroo Point Cliffs for sweeping views of the Brisbane skyline - one of the city's favourite free lookout spots.
