Brisbane, Australia
Queensland's capital has shed its sleepy reputation to emerge as one of Australia's most exciting cities. South Bank, built for the 1988 World Expo, features a man-made beach, the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA), and the Queensland Performing Arts Centre, all connected by riverside boardwalks. The City Botanic Gardens sit on a bend of the Brisbane River, while the Kangaroo Point Cliffs offer dramatic views and rock climbing just across the water. Walking across the Story Bridge at dusk is a Brisbane essential. The inner-city neighborhoods of Fortitude Valley, New Farm, and West End each bring distinct flavors — from Asian food markets to craft breweries to independent bookshops.
