#aprilblooms 💞Reasons to Recommend: Located in Brisbane's vibrant Queen's Wharf precinct, Sky Deck at The Star Brisbane offers an exceptional panoramic view of the cityscape from above. I really love the glass-floor viewing platform. It's not for the faint-hearted, but it's a thrilling way to take in the height and see the world beneath your feet. The deck also features multiple dining and entertainment venues, perfect for casual drinks and social gatherings. I definitely recommend this place! #australia #travel #brisbane #thingstodo #localfood

The Westin Brisbane offers a unique Southern Hemisphere twist on the renowned Westin experience. What sets it apart? First and foremost, its prime location is a major highlight. Situated in the bustling Brisbane CBD and right next to the Brisbane River, the hotel is within walking distance to many attractions, making it incredibly convenient for guests. The rooms at The Westin are well-sized, with a standard double room offering 34 square meters of space. The modern and understated design exudes elegance, and the average weekday rate is around 10,000 TWD, consistent with Westin's global pricing standards. One of the standout features is the poolside bar. The sleek, wave-like bar design extends to the pool area, creating a fancy and stylish atmosphere. At night, the lighting adds a magical touch, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a drink. Due to its location in the CBD, The Westin Brisbane leans more towards a business-oriented vibe rather than a laid-back resort feel. However, it’s an excellent choice for shopping and dining, with plenty of options nearby.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Stay at the beautiful "W Brisbane", a stylish and modern glass-fronted building located in the CBD on the banks of the Brisbane River. It is surrounded by shopping malls and is within a 10-minute walk from the central railway station. The location is extremely convenient. Young, trendy, fashionable, and with a distinct and strong sense of design, this is the first impression that W Brisbane gives people, which is in line with this beautiful and vibrant city. The biggest selling point of the guest rooms is the view of the Brisbane River. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery from high above while lying on the bed. It is so leisurely and a bit luxurious! The wonderful room we stayed in was about 40 square meters in size. The streamlined space design was quite fashionable and novel. The minibar alone was super, beautiful and abundant, not to mention the internet-famous bathtub and the beautiful view outside the window. On weekdays, the price for two people including breakfast is about NT$10,000. The W's executive lounge is also very commendable, and the pool and bar are incredibly beautiful at night! The enthusiasm of the staff and the quality of service are also very impressive. This is a W hotel that is worth staying in. #AustraliaTravel #Brisbane

If you are going from Brisbane Airport to Gold Coast, please read this☀️️🐨🇦🇺 ⚠️Air trains are sometimes suspended!? It's the only train that connects Brisbane Airport to Gold Coast, so I've never heard of it being suspended! I was told by a local person, but I was unlucky with the timing of the suspension... I ended up taking a taxi! ⚠️For information on delays and suspensions, we recommend "Google Maps Route Guide"! When the Air train is suspended, the transportation from Brisbane to Gold Coast will be bus or taxi. Buses are cheap but take a long time. Taxis are fast but expensive. Just because you can't use the train, your time and costs will change, so if you think about various scenarios in advance and make a note of them, you won't panic. ⚠️We recommend "DIDI" to arrange a taxi. DIDI was very easy to use! It's convenient to download it in advance and register your credit card! ⚠️Purchase a GO CARD! When riding the Air Train, Gold Coast trams, or buses, we recommend using a Suica-like card called a GO CARD! You can purchase a GO CARD at the station counter or at the Brisbane Airport Information Center. When purchasing a card, a $10 deposit is charged in addition to the charge fee. ⚠️How to ride the Gold Coast tram There are several machines on the station platform where you can touch your GO CARD. Just touch your card to the machine, then board the tram, and when you get off, touch the machine on the platform again! It was very easy! There are also machines on the platform where you can charge your GO CARD with money, as well as vending machines. ⚠️Can you return your GO CARD?! You can return your GO CARD at the station counter, and the remaining balance and deposit will be refunded!! This is a very convenient system for travelers. ⚠️However, there is something you should be aware of! When the Air Train is out of service, the counter at Brisbane Airport station is closed and you cannot return your GO CARD! You cannot return it at the airport information center either. This is probably a rare occurrence, but it's good to keep in mind. Please take a look at this information✨ #Transportation information #Australia #Gold Coast #AirTrain #GOCARD #Streetcar #DIDI

Drinking a beer while watching the illuminations and night view is exceptional 🍻 There seems to be a tour that crosses the railing of the bridge, so if you're interested, be sure to check it out! ④Art Museum The Asian Triennale was currently being held here! It's free to go, so I recommend it ⑤South Bank Parklands A free heated pool near the river! It is designed like a small sea, and can be enjoyed by both adults and children ^_^ Another great thing about it is that you can go straight to a nearby restaurant after swimming. 🥘 Gourmet ①LUNE The most famous croissant shop in Brisbane! Other breads besides croissants are also delicious. ② Felons Brewing You can enjoy beer and meals while looking at the Story Bridge. ③ OLE A restaurant where you can eat authentic Spanish food!

What a delicious croissant that made me eat it for two days straight! It’s LUNE Croissanterie in Brisbane! ! ! Before I ate it, I heard that this shop is said to be the best croissant in the world😍 After eating it, I feel that you are worthy of your reputation! ! ! Location: Entrance on Burnett Lane, shop10/79 Adelaide St,Brisbane City QLD 4000 The one I went to was the one in City, which is located between KFC and Coles. Opening hours ⏰ 08:00-15:00 (The bread is selling well, so if you go too late, it will be sold out. Please be careful not to miss out!) Several personal taste reviews that have been tried: 🥐The most famous Almond Croissant 11.7🔪 Taste 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Overall it is delicious. The almond layer on the outside is very crispy and fragrant, and there is filling inside the bread, but I feel it is a bit too sweet and a bit greasy at the end. It is ok if paired with American coffee. 🍋My favorite lemon muffin Lemon curd cruffin 9.8🔪 Taste 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 One of my favorites! I feel like not many people recommend it. It was a blind spot in the store. There is a very thin layer of icing on the outside. The bread is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a good sense of layering. The lemon sauce inside is a big plus, with a sweet and sour taste, not too greasy, and it feels quite refreshing after eating one.

On the 4th floor of Brisbane City Hall, there is a great free museum, the Museum of Brisbane. Although it is free, it is large in scale and has a wide variety of exhibition themes. I have been immersed in art since childhood, and in middle age, I have completely abandoned realism and prefer to see niche works that are close to the expression of the mind. The exhibitions here are innovative: war antiques, Australian aboriginal features, and more new-generation artists' whimsical ideas. Families can participate in the interactive area of the museum to make displays. This form of art is more touching to people's lives and is quite fun. The museum's gift shop at the entrance also has exquisite gadgets to choose from. The Museum of Brisbane is really worth visiting multiple times to experience slowly.

Stayed in a stunning hotel with my parents in Brisbane! ! ! There is an ErHao restaurant in the hotel, which offers 5 room types to choose from. We chose the luxury pavilion room type, which included dinner and breakfast, which was a great value. You can also check out this hat restaurant on the way. The room is very spacious and novel, with a good view, facing a large grassy area, and good privacy. Although the temperature is lower in the mountains, it is really comfortable when there is sunshine in the afternoon. Overall, it's highly recommended. The only thing is that the restaurant's taste is on the heavy side. Fortunately, the dessert at the end has extra points.

Brisbane is Australia's third largest city and the capital of Queensland. It has both natural and urban aspects, so it has a reputation for being "easy to live in" and "suitable for studying abroad" in Australia🇦🇺. The Story Bridge is one of the tourist attractions. From the daytime city view to the illuminated night view, it's beautiful no matter when you look at it✨ There are also many river cruises operating on the Brisbane River, so cruising is also recommended! It looks like it has a sense of freedom and is very pleasant! When it comes to Australia, people tend to focus on Sydney and other cities, but Brisbane is also recommended✨ #Brisbane #Australia

#traveldiaries 💞Reasons to Recommend: O Bagel is situated in the heart of Brisbane City. Aside from delicious bagels, this place is also popular for their assorted matcha drink. We decided to come here after lunch to satisfy our cravings for a cold, sweet drink. We tried their Strawberry Matcha Cloud, which is a strawberry milk foam with pure Japanese matcha. It's so delicious and worth the price! I highly recommend it. 📍Address: Shop 1/97 Elizabeth St, Brisbane City QLD 4000 🕰️Business Hours: Opens daily from 730am to 3pm. #familytrip #localguides #australia #brisbane

#traveldiaries 💞Reasons to Recommend: Although 5 Boroughs is known for its burgers, bar and grill, this place also has a breakfast menu with variety of options. Their Egg’s Benedict has a unique style but tastes delicious. While the toastie is very filling that I can only finish one piece. Luckily, they allow take aways. The hot chocolate also tastes good! There are also plenty of tables and chairs for dine in and we have no trouble looking for a parking space as it is located beside a shopping area. The staff are also lovely as they allow us to order wedges even if it is not on the menu. 📍Address: Carseldine Central, Shop 4/735 Beams Rd, Carseldine QLD 4034 #localguides #familytrip #deliciousfood #eatlikealocal #brisbane #australia

#traveldiaries 💞Reasons to Recommend: Honten Sushi has a range of Japanese food options from bowls to sushi that are less than 20 dollars. Hence, it gets really busy during lunchtime.

#traveldiaries 💞Reasons to Recommend: Attending EkkaNITES this year is the best decision ever! Aside from discounted ticket prices, we were able to enjoy the extravagant display of lights with this year's theme of neon lights. We were also able to enjoy roaming around the event area with fewer crowds, bought delicious treats, played games, and rid the ferries wheel. But my favourite part of the night is the fireworks, which lasted more than 15 minutes. It was awesome! 📍Address: Gregory Terrace, Bowen Hills QLD 4006 #localguides #familytrip #australia #brisbane #ekkanites
