About Brisbane (BNE)

Brisbane, the capital city of the Australian state Queensland, is a beautiful tourist destination. The city has much to offer, including wonderful attractions like museums, galleries, parks and heritage sites. To ensure that tourists are able to travel around the city easily and at a comfortable pace, there are several pathways and bikeways. A hot air balloon ride, along with a champagne breakfast, is a perfect way to start a day here. Those coming on a Brisbane holiday must try climbing the Story Bridge as well as feeding and cuddling the adorable koala bears at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. There is also a range of ghost tours available, which take tourists around the haunted sites of the city. Brisbane is also home to a number of impressive structures, like Albert Street Uniting Church, Commissariat Store and Customs House. Beaches dot the city, including those where visitors can try their hands at surfing and other water sports. This is a city that tourists must visit to enjoy pleasant moments with family. They just need to pack their bags and leave the rest- like air tickets and accommodation- to MakeMyTrip.
