Suburb Highlight

Brisbane CBD

Brisbane CBD squeezes city life into a compact, walkable grid framed by the Brisbane River. It is the heart of business by day, with workers flooding laneways for strong coffee and quick lunches. When the sun sets, the streets shift. Rooftop bars fill up, hidden laneway bars come alive and late night eats keep the city moving.
