The Brisbane audio-guided tour takes you to the heart of the CBD, the central business district. Whatever direction you take in the city, you end up there sooner or later: it is here that the urban and economic heart of the Queensland metropolis beats.

Like blood in the veins, the identity of the metropolis flows through all the streets of this crossroads. More than four thousand companies, a thousand local and international shops, as well as many bars and restaurants, are housed in the skyscrapers, among the tallest in the country. The CBD concentrates the activity, the work and the nightlife of Brisbane.

The CBD brings together modern skyscrapers, heritage buildings, shopping streets like Queen Street and places to live. It is a dynamic district where business, commerce and culture meet. Walking through it, you gauge the recent rise of Brisbane, a city on the up among the great Australian metropolises.

Practical information

The CBD occupies the centre of Brisbane, in a loop of the Brisbane River. The district can be walked freely at all hours and on the level; the shops, bars and restaurants keep their own hours. It is the ideal starting point to explore the city.
