Where to go with your car hire in Fortitude Valley?

Brunswick Street spills from the pedestrian-only Brunswick Street Mall, through Ann Street, and into New Farm, in the heart of Brisbane’s entertainment district. A diverse selection of bars, cafes, restaurants, and retailers along the bustling street.

While the street is quiet and peaceful during the day, it comes alive at night. If you enjoy live music, see who is performing at The Fortitude Music Hall, go next door to Black Bear Lodge or across the street to Ric’s Bar for live and local bands. The Press Club, located further down the road, frequently hosts jazz performances. Add in The Empire Hotel, Heya Bar, Our Place, Finn McCool’s The Flying Cock, and a slew of other bars, and you’ve got yourself a night out on the town.

You’ll be treated to a feast for the senses the instant you pass through the old Chinese gates, with authentic stone guard-lions. Perhaps it’s the bustle of Chinese supermarkets, the aromas and sounds of diverse ingredients merging in a sizzling wok, or the warm Yum Cha breakfasts shared with friends that keep people turning up. Regardless of the season, Chinatown is always ready to delight.

As you walk around Chinatown, you’ll notice the architecture, textures, colours, and emotions. It isn’t just the food that is outstanding. The Chinatown Mall is a bustling shopping and entertainment complex that hosts a variety of special events. Without leaving the city, every visit to Chinatown takes you on a tour of one of the world’s most lasting cultures.

Wickham Street, which runs through the heart of Fortitude Valley, has evolved through time to include up-and-coming urban and street style boutiques and numerous sporting and outdoor adventure retailers.

With the diversity of food outlets in the Chinatown mall, which ends at Wickham Street, shopping in the Valley is always an adventure.

Wickham Street is also home to several bars, clubs, and pubs, adding to the Valley’s already burgeoning nightlife scene, which is a favourite hangout for Brisbane’s partygoers.

This modest laneway is a hive of activity for Brisbane’s creative types and those seeking something unusual, hidden behind the historic Shannon’s building, which houses the famous Zoo live music venue. Here you’ll discover Bens Burgers, a legendary Brisbane burger spot, as well as local boutiques House of Cards and Sunday Social. York Hair Artistry and Lawless Salon will pamper you. Winn Lane is a popular hangout for Brisbane residents, and it’s ideally positioned in Fortitude Valley’s creative district, directly across from Bakery Lane.

The Institute of Modern Art has been the centre of Brisbane’s contemporary art scene since 1975, hosting an annual program of exhibitions, public programs, publications, and offsite programs by Queensland, Australian, and international artists.

The IMA, located in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley in the Judith Wright Arts Centre, showcases cutting-edge contemporary art and a regular schedule of events such as artist talks, workshops, films, performances, and more. In addition to art publications, local design, and unusual souvenirs, the IMA Gallery Shop has a vast selection of them.

One of the best rental experiences I've had so far! The shuttle bus pickup was seamless, and the drivers were friendly, courteous, and attentive. I had several pieces of luggage, and they helped me load them onto the bus, making the process stress-free.

The counter staff were welcoming and informative, and the rates were the most affordable I found. They even helped adjust the rental hours to maximize my usage. The child seat hire was also cheaper than other providers.

Best of all, the bond was released within 30 minutes of returning the car. I’ll definitely use this company again when I visit Brisbane!

Not familiar with Brisbane airport and Alpha made it stress free with prearranged shuttle to site. Hassle-free check-in to pickup vehicle and drop off on return. Company cars modern spotless and comfortable. Very much made a 4 day trip from NT easier. Recommend company to others.
