Places to Visit in Brisbane
Story Bridge Adventure Climb
Constructed during Australia's Great Depression in the 1930s, the attractive steel Story Bridge is a much-loved Brisbane landmark. As one of only three bridge climbs in the world (Sydney and Auckland) this one also offers something totally unique – the choice to abseil on descent.
The two-hour experience takes you 80 meters above the Brisbane River for uninterrupted views of the city.

Museum of Brisbane
Located in one of Brisbane's premier heritage buildings, the museum was redeveloped and reopened in 2013. This "small in size, big in stories" museum occupies the top level of City Hall and brings the history of Brisbane and its people to life through a series of state-of-the-art exhibitions covering everything from convict history to Brisbane's floods.
Temporary exhibitions mean there's always something new to see here, and all the exhibits are designed to engage visitors of all ages.
