While staying at breathtaking river view apartments or luxury hotels in Brisbane, you might have explored your options of the attractions near you. The City Hall clock tower must be one such place on your list. Here are some fun activities you can do around the block.
Take a walk around the City Hall
The City Hall is home to many cultural and social events happening in Brisbane. You can take pictures in front of the grand clock tower and visit the museum of Brisbane. Every 15 minutes, the museum conducts free tours for visitors up the clock tower, where you can get a panoramic view of the enchanting city.
Fun facts about the tower
Did you know that the clock tower has the oldest manual elevator in Australia? The elevator takes people up as high as 92 metres, and you can find the observation deck at 73 metres high. The clock face is being held in place by more than 1000 screws, and the minute hands are 3 metres long!
A view worth visiting!
Over the past 80 years, the view from the tower has drastically changed, now overlooking the modern skyline with the river in sight. King George Square where the clock tower is located, is one of the busiest streets due to visitors. You can visit the observation deck every day between 10.15 am and 4.45 pm, or until 6.45 pm on Fridays. The tickets must be booked online at least two weeks in advance due to the constantly high demand. You can easily access the city hall and the clock tower if you choose to stay at properties like Oaks Brisbane on Felix Suites!
