 Brisbane is a beautiful sunshine city with a lot to offer for any visitor. However, you may think that traveling and exploring things in Brisbane is quite expensive. While it is nice to visit expensive museums and restaurants, there are several things that you can do at no cost at all. Here are a few experiences that you may want to check out.
 

1. A dip at Streets Beach

This is a lagoon-style water body situated in the middle of the city. There is a boat pool and an aquatic water park in the same compound as well and all of this is completely free. So if you want to take a quick dip in the water, this is an ideal place to be.

Also known as the QAGOMA, The Queensland Art Gallery and the Gallery of Modern Art is also situated in the middle of the city close to most Milton accommodation. While some key exhibitions require you to buy tickets, there are plenty of days and sections that can be viewed for free. So during your stay at a property such as The Milton Brisbane, take a stroll to the QAGOMA for cultural enrichment.

 3. Go on a ride on a CityHopper

CityHoppers are small boats that take people across the Brisbane River. They are completely free and can be accessed by anyone. Various cruise companies provide not just the boat ride, but also entertainment to go with it. You can even take a cruise up to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and make a good day’s trip out of it.

 4. Local Farmers’ markets

Brisbane is famous for having excellent farmers’ markets. These are especially vibrant during the weekend where everything from vegetables, fruits, flowers, and fresh meat are made available. In addition, there are also artisan goods that are displayed. If you are curious to just see these markets or even want to buy something, feel free to swing by one of them.

 5. New Farm Park

This is one of the most popular parks in Brisbane. It is by the river and covered with beautiful grass and trees. It is a great place to lie down with a book, have a picnic, or even play some friendly football. There are also several Deli’s adjacents to the park. So you can buy some snacks and spend a nice evening enjoying the park’s serenity.

 6. Queensland Museum

The Queensland Museum has a large collection of natural history exhibits. The Queensland Museum’s Discovery Centre is the best place to visit if you are interested in learning more about the earth’s past and evolution. You can visit the museum for free while some exhibits may require a paid pass.

 7. Mt Coot-tha

They say, the most beautiful things in life can be free and the sunrise at Mt Coot-tha is one such thing. You can drive up to the mountain by car or van and find the perfect spot to witness the sunrise.
 

8. The Planetarium

The Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium is free for all. You can take an adventurous journey exploring space and all the magic it has to offer. The Skydome and observatory can only be accessed with reservation and admission fees. However, the free elements can give you quite an experience as well.

 9. State Library of Queensland

Do beautiful big libraries fascinate you? If yes, definitely take some time to visit the libraries in the area. You may come across books that you have never seen before. There is also a reading corner for kids and a play zone, which makes it perfect.
 

10. Mountain Climbing

There are several decent peaks that you can climb in Brisbane. Ask some locals on the mountains that suit your liking and give it a go.
