Brisbane Tours of the City

Brisbane is a wonderful city to discover on foot owing to its size and the relatively flat landscape. Brisbane City Council (tel: (07) 3404 8888) runs the CityWalk, a self-guided tour through the heart of the city taking in Brisbane's heritage highlights. The trail begins at the Visitor Information Centre (tel: (07) 3006 6290; www.visitbrisbane.com.au). Free guided walks of the City Botanic Gardens depart from the rotunda opposite the Albert Street gates at twice daily Monday to Saturday.

There are numerous city tours on offer, both by bus and by water. The City Sights bus tour run by Brisbane Transport (tel: 131 230, in Australia only; www.citysights.com.au) is a hop-on, hop-off bus that shuttles around 19 of the city's major landmarks. Alternatively, jump aboard a white wooden paddle steamer with Kookaburra River Queens (tel: (07) 3221 1300; www.kookaburrariverqueens.com) and cruise up and down the river. Another option is to explore the river by the City CAT (tel: 131 230, in Australia only).
