The best things in life are free

It’s free to browse the local markets and sprawl on the grass down by the river at New Farm Park, before jumping on the free inner-city CityHopper ferry to South Bank. Here you can swim and relax at Streets Beach or listen to jazz music at River Quay Green. Then wander through the air-conditioned, free-entry halls of The Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA).
 
For a full culture fix explore the iconic Brisbane Powerhouse or catch an exhibition at The Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) or the Museum of Brisbane.
 
And when you want to feel surrounded by nature, pick a path to wander down at Roma Street Parkland or City Botanic Gardens, or check out the bushwalking trails of Mt Coot-Tha and enjoy the panoramic lookout view from the top.
