Brisbane One-Day City Walk

After hearing about the torrential rain in the Whitsundays, Wang Lemon made an emergency detour to Brisbane—and ended up with a delightful surprise! 😍 1️⃣🏨 Accommodation Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 📍 Meriton Suites Adelaide Street 💰 Price: AUD $410/night (booked early for just AUD $170!) ✅ Pros: Central location, Story Bridge views, 50㎡ suite, in-room laundry. ⚠️ Note: Late check-in requires calling reception from the left side of the main entrance (we froze outside waiting 🥶). 2️⃣🏞️ Attractions 📌 St John’s Cathedral ⭐ Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ 🚶 Transport: 2-min walk from the hotel. ℹ️ Details: Queensland’s only Neo-Gothic cathedral—great for quick photos. (Bonus: Caught a wedding!) 📌 City Hall ⭐ Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🚶 Transport: 12-min walk from the cathedral (passes a train station & memorial square). ℹ️ Details: Three floors—grab a guide at the entrance! The museum (3F) is super photogenic. 📌 Queen Street Mall ⭐ Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🚶 Transport: Right outside City Hall. ℹ️ Details: Perfect for food 🍜 + shopping 🛍️. ⚠️ Avoid: Maru & Doodeeboran (poor hygiene). Try: Yo CHi for desserts! 📌 Library/Art Gallery/Museum ⭐ Rating: ⭐⭐ 🚶 Transport: 15-min walk via Victoria Bridge. ℹ️ Details: Skip if short on time—they’re clustered under the bridge. 📌 Brisbane Sign + Wheel ⭐ Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Best for drone shots at night!) ⚠️ Note: Lawn under maintenance (we photoshopped the fences out 😅). 📌 Streets Beach ⭐ Rating: ⭐⭐ (Tiny artificial beach) 🚶 Transport: 5-min walk from South Bank. 📌 Kangaroo Point ⭐ Rating: ⭐⭐ 🚶 Transport: Far—better to watch sunset at Story Bridge. 📌 Story Bridge ⭐ Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🚖 Transport: Ferry is complicated—we took a $15 taxi. ⚠️ Pro tip: Arrive early at Felons Barrel Hall (lazy sofas = perfect sunset spot!). Lights turn on 30 mins post-sunset—ideal for drone shots! Food: Skip meals here; grab a drink & head next door to Betty’s Burgers 🍔 (highly recommended!). #Brisbane #ExploreBrisbane #MustVisit #StoryBridge #Whitsundays #TravelTips
