"The Museum of Brisbane is the place to go to get a fuller understanding of the vibrant art, culture and history of life in Brisbane through a schedule of art and social history exhibitions, workshops, talks and tours. Found atop the Brisbane City Hall in a custom-built space, the free museum is not only central to conversations about the evolving life of Brisbane but also allows an unparalleled view of two of the building’s heritage features – the Clock Tower and copper dome."

"The Museum of Brisbane is a top-rated destination here in the city. If you want to learn about the contemporary and historic art that Brisbane has to offer, this is the art gallery and museum that you should visit. Here, you can take part in art programs and social history exhibitions."

"At the Museum of Brisbane, you can learn about the history of Brisbane through interactive displays, photos and film. The exhibits are changing all the time so that no visit will be the same. This Brisbane Museum also has various activities designed just for kids."

"Also at South Bank, the Queensland Museum hosts permanent and changing exhibitions, as well as hands-on experiences, that focus on the natural history and cultural heritage of the state. At the Discovery Centre, visitors can see live snakes and insects and interact with the knowledgeable staff. There is also a dedicated STEM-learning space called SparkLab for 6 to 13-year-olds inside the museum."

"The University of Queensland’s art collection started in 1940 as the result of a generous donation and has grown to what is now a mixture of traditional and modern art exhibitions. The university established a Fine Art Library, which is the UQ Art Museum we know today. It’s open daily and admission is always free."

"Located on top of The Point Brisbane Hotel at Kangaroo Point, this rooftop bar is somewhat a hidden gem. Only open during weekends, there is an exclusiveness to Eagles Nest, both in availability and in feel. From the 12th floor terrace you get lovely views over the Brisbane skyline and the river, especially around sunset, which is absolutely amazing from up here."

"The cocktail list at Nest, on Roma Street, is insanely good. I’ve tried a LOT of them and loved each and every single one, with my favourites being their Royal Tea and Espresso Martini."

"Is more of a mixed vibe, not the type of place you can just approach every girl in the venue without someone complaining. Mid week they have a range of different events and it seems like they try to attract more families. The problem is some families might decide to turn up on the weekend when your trying to pick up single girls and that could be a little awkward."

"Looks like smaller nightclub that is centred around the dancefloor. They have ”booth service” which seems to be bringing in more of an American hierarchical system into the Brisbane nightclub scene. This place is worthy of a mention but ranks lower than the others."

"For over 50 years Giardinetto has 
been dishing out hearty Italian fare 
in the heart of Brunswick Street. This busy bistro with its garden courtyard is a real blast from the past 
for long-standing Brisbane diners."

"What better way to experience Sugo Mi than starting with fresh pizza and pasta and then finishing off with award winning traditional Italian gelato and sorbet. With dairy, egg and gluten free options, gelati lovers of all likings are welcome to experience a true Italian flavour. Start your visit with their Ravioli filled with pumpkin, ricotta and sage then finish with Earl Grey & Organic Lavender or Peanut Butter & Chocolate gelato."

"Nestled slyly behind the popular Bulimba eatery is the Sugo Mi Gelateria, featuring their award-winning gelato and sorbet. Made in-house, their popular favourites include choc hazelnut, peanut butter, and a classic salted caramel!. Pizza out the front, ice cream out the back?"

"When General Douglas MacArthur arrived in 1942 it was a top-secret affair and the MacArthur family kept a low profile during their two-year stay. His office is a now a museum which explores Brisbane in the years around the Second World War. Level 8, MacArthur Chambers, 201 Edward St., Brisbane."

"Few who pass the glass doors of MacArthur Chambers Hotel would know that it was from this building that General Douglas MacArthur directed the Allies in holding back the Japanese invasion."

"This museum was the office that General Douglas MacArthur worked in when he arrived in Australia in 1942. The museum explores the Brisbane atmosphere during World War II."
