Travelling to Brisbane on a budget? Have no fear about missing out on the best of the city, because you do get quite a few things you can experience here for free!
QAGOMA
This exotic-sounding attraction is in fact, the combination of two popular sites; the Queensland Art Gallery and the Gallery of Modern Art. Located within a 10 minute drive from Oaks Mews, these two galleries feature stunning historic and modern creations that can be viewed for free! Also here is the interactive Children’s Art Centre which does not charge for entry.
Roma Street Parkland
The ideal escape from the city streets awaits at the Roma Street Parkland; within easy reach of hotels in Bowen Hills, this 16-hectare parkland is home to designer gardens, lush lawns and playgrounds for kids, while there’s a free tour of the site on offer as well.
Brisbane Greeters
What better way to truly experience the city than by getting a first-hand introduction from a local! A free public service, Brisbane Greeters share their love and knowledge of the city and provide insights you may not find in guide books.
