Must-Visit Places in Brisbane
Perhaps the only downside of having numerous attractions and activities is choosing which and where to go, especially with limited time. This is why we’ve made it easier for you and curated a list of our top picks for experiencing Brisbane to the fullest, all best explored with a car rental Brisbane Airport.
If you’re looking to reconnect with nature and explore Australia’s great outdoors, a quick drive with your Brisbane car hire from the CBD can take you to nearby Mt. Coot-Tha, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city from 287-metres above sea level—the Lookout Point is one of its most popular attractions. And while many tourists go for the spectacular views, there are other activities available and places to visit around the area, including the 52-hectare Brisbane Botanic Gardens, biking or hiking up the Summit Trail, a picnic right by the JC Slaughter Falls and capping the day off with some good food at The Summit Café or the Summit Restaurant & Bar.
Another option for an elevated adventure is Tamborine Mountain, which is just an hour’s drive with your hire car Brisbane. Enjoy the Rainforest Skywalk, dig for treasure in Thunderbird Park and explore more exciting nearby attractions, such as the Glow Worm Caves, the Cauldron Distillery, Tamborine Botanic Gardens, the Tamborine Mountain Distillery, Jasmin Organics, Castle Glen and the Fortitude Brewing Company, just to name a few.

Brisbane is also peppered with nearby islands where you and your friends and family can take a couple of days off to relax and unwind and appreciate the unspoiled natural beauty these islands have to offer.
Starting off with the “Secret Garden of Brisbane,” taking holiday in Moreton Island will get you up close and with rainbow-coloured fish and dugongs, hand-feed wild dolphins and explore sparkling beaches and uniquely stunning Tangalooma Shipwrecks. On the island itself, you can also take some time to whiz down sand dunes on toboggans or quad bikes. There’s also a freshwater option called the Blue Lagoon where the relatively shallow water is a haven for birds and shellfish—the waters are also infused with tea tree oil which is believed to have healing properties.
Another nearby island you can visit is Fraser Island; this World Heritage Listing is unique for being the only place in the world where a rainforest grows on sand dunes. Despite its relatively smaller size, the island is teeming with more than 100 freshwater lakes, and 40 of which is made up completely of rainwater. The popular activities on the island include 4WD tours and whale watching activities, and you can find good accommodation at the Kingfisher Bay Resort or Eurong Beach Resort.
Another good option is North Straddie or, simply, Straddie—North Stradbroke Island in Moreton Bay lets tourists do as little or as much as they like. If you’re the type for adventure, you can for activities, such as surfing, kayaking, cycling, paddleboarding or 4WD-ing. Conversely, you can simply find a quiet spot on the beach to soak up some sunshine, have a picnic with friends or lose track of time in a book. The island has several options for B&B and has numerous options for lunch, dinner, coffees and snacks.
And if you’re looking for an island getaway without the boat transfers, Bribie Island, the smallest of the three major islands in the northern part of Moreton Bay, is the only island in Queensland connected by Bridgeway, which means you can drive to it directly with your Brisbane Airport car rental. The spot is dotted with camping sports, boating jump-off points, birdwatching vistas and springtime wildflowers.
