Brisbane Queensland is one of the most amazing cities in the world. With a combination of both the old and the new, it is one of the premiere destinations in Australia. There are so many attractions that draw in people from all over the world, it's usually a good idea to organize a car hire in Brisbane to ensure that you can get around easily. From the charm of the Brisbane River to the exciting action of the Brisbane Casino, you could spend weeks here and never see it all.

City Hall is usually one of the first stops in the city. Here you can take in the fantastic views of the city as well as learn about some the history of the area.  Take in the historical aspect, by walking or driving to Old Windmill, Anzac Square, the Old Government House as well as the Maritime Museum. You should also try to visit places such as the Queensland Museum & Sciencentre and the Gallery of Modern Art. The latter is recognized as being the largest modern art museum in all of Australia.

To see the more modern side of Brisbane, all you have to do is step foot into the Brisbane Casino, which ironically is set in the Old Treasury Building known for its astounding architecture. No trip to Brisbane would be complete without a visit to the Botanic Gardens or the Queensland Cultural Centre, which houses the Brisbane Art Gallery. Brisbane car rentals will surely make travelling across the length and breadth of the city much easier for you.

The South Bank area is well known for its entertainment as Brisbane has a great nightlife as well as breweries around the city such as The Carlton Brewhouse and Milton Road. If bars and nightclubs aren't what you are looking for you can enjoy a concert or theatre performance at The Performing Arts Complex or a ballet at the Brisbane Arts Theatre. The Queensland Performing Arts Centre has four venues, where you can catch a performance of drama, ballet, opera or music. If you are interested in the contemporary forms of art, you can find the same at the Brisbane Powerhouse Centre for the Arts.
