Step outside Ovolo Brisbane, Fortitude Valley, a Wyndham Hotel and dive into Brisbane’s vibrant mix of art, nature, and nightlife. Browse high-end labels on James Street, then wander through pop-up galleries at the Brisbane Powerhouse. Cruise the Brisbane River boardwalk or stroll through native blooms in the City Botanic Gardens. For wildlife encounters, Lone Pine’s koalas and Australia Zoo’s crocodiles await. If you’re feeling adventurous, take the ferry to Moreton Island for pristine beaches and sunken ships or chase waterfalls at Springbrook National Park.
