Roma Street Parklands, Brisbane
You’ll be pleasantly surprised to know that there are several activities to enjoy in Brisbane on a budget. Many of our guests here at Bridgewater Terraces know this and enjoy their holiday while spending less. To experience the best things in Brisbane on a budget, consider the following activities.
You can take a trip to South Bank or Roma Street Parklands to enjoy Brisbane’s beautiful gardens, parks and walkways. By visiting the GOMA, Institute of Modern Art and the Queensland Art gallery, you’ll discover more about Brisbane’s culture.
You can also catch a CAT ferry or go sailing at Moreton Bay to enjoy budget friendly activities on the river. For transportation, I recommend you to try out the TransLink rail – it is the most cost effective way to travel all over the city.
Brisbane also has many shopping options where you won’t need to spend a fortune to have a good time. In particular, I’d like to recommend the street markets in and around Fortitude Valley and South Bank. You’ll be surprised at the bargains you get at these street market.
