Visiting the land down under and hoping to drop by Brisbane? If you are looking for some unique things to do on your visit – here's a list of things to do, that is quintessentially Brisbane, yet not as basic!
Love the opera or theatre in general? Then you have to visit the Spring Hill Reservoir. One of Brisbane's most well-preserved underground secret performance spaces! Grab a glass of wine from their wine bar as you are engulfed in a night of theatre and dance!
Those who are into all things cosmic and Astro can drop in at the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium at the Brisbane City Council. A great attraction even for kids, the planetarium has a variety of over 14 shows to choose from! This attraction is a mere 11 minutes from accommodation options such as the Oaks Felix and is something that should not be missed out on, on your visit to Brisbane!
Take a quick break from the sightseeing and grab a quick cup of coffee at the tiny café on top of the Goodwill Bridge. The shaded kiosks attract a lot of pedestrians who make a pitstop to refuel their caffeine and stop for a quick chat while looking out on to the gorgeous river bank with splendid mountain vistas in the background!
Love some good gnocchi? Try out the special "retro" private dining room at Nonna's Kitchen. Modelled in the 1950s this special restaurant caters up to groups of 10. Feast on fresh traditional handmade gnocchi and other Italian desserts to treat your taste buds.
Take a trip back in time and watch some silent movies from the '20s! A good option for those traveling with their partners as this may come to seem like a good date option. Screening on a Friday night once a month, the silent film is accompanied by a live pianist and followed up with cartoons and newsreels in a more vintage surrounding at a retro cinema!
One of the most unique attractions in Brisbane for both residents and tourists, the "floating" Brisbane River Walk is a must see! Extending from Howard Street Wharves to New Farm, experience walking on the river instead of along the shore! Step out of your river view apartments in Brisbane and take a walk or even cycle along this 870m long Riverwalk for a breath of fresh air and some much needed 'me time'!
