Exploring Central Brisbane

Brisbane’s city centre fits neatly in a U-shaped loop of the
Brisbane River, so one of the best ways to get acquainted
with the city is by ferry. The city centre can also be easily
explored on foot. The streets follow a grid and are named
after British royalty: queens and princesses run north–south,
kings and princes run east–west. Brisbane’s suburbs also
have their own distinct feel: to the east is chic Kangaroo Cenotaph in Anzac Square
Point; just west of the centre is trendy Paddington; while
to the northwest Fortitude Valley has a diverse and W AT E R S T R E E T
multicultural population. W AT E R
