Brisbane is Queenslands premium shopping center. But that is not all; it is also famous for various other things like award winning food and drink joints, a huge selection of fashion, exhaustive entertainment program (many absolutely free) and finally over one thousand stores to shop from. With so much up for grabs it is hardly a surprise that hotels CBD Brisbane is nearly full the year round.
Brisbane has something to offer in any direction you would like to head. It houses the biggest collection of flagship stores along with unique boutiques which is what makes it the premier shopping destination. The hundreds of restaurants, bars and cafes that line the street of Brisbane, many of which are Good Food Guide Awardees vie with each other to whet your palate. And for those who like to look beyond just the shops and the food, The City Sounds program is bound to leave you speechless. There are more than 1000 events being held each year. And apart from all this is the regular fare of cinemas, galleries, parks and casinos that befits the beautiful city of Brisbane. Whether it is day or night there are more than enough options to keep you alive, busy and enthralled.
Brisbane is also famous for its markets. The Suitcase Rummage at Reddacliff Place is one that you should not miss if you are looking to buy some real beauties. Everything from bric-a-brac clothing and books to brilliant vintage, artwork, hand-made goods like shoes, paper, cards, badges, you name it and you can buy it here. Here you can bargain or swap or simply haggle in the old-fashioned way. Another not-to-be-missed event is the Bleeding Heart City Markets held every month on the first Friday. Here local artisans put up their fare of art and vintage items amongst many other things. If there is one place you should be on Sunday mornings it is the Riverside market at the Pier. Buy some tasty freshly baked products like breads, pastries or juice, bacon and eggs or shop for household goods, hand-made rugs, jewellery, and wood carvings. Even second hand books and enjoy live music and entertainment before you head back home for the Sunday afternoon siesta, indeed a Sunday well spent.
All these markets and most other business interests are all easily accessible from the hotels CBD Brisbane. So after all the sightseeing or taking care of day to day business you will still have enough time to shop at the Farmers Market organised on Wednesdays by Jan Power, a local foodie or visit the local indie artisans at the Brisbane City Hall.
