Real Traveler reviews for South Bank

More information on South Bank

Characterised by striking design and architecture, these 17 hectares of lush parklands comprise Brisbane's cultural heart. Suffering hard times at the end of World War II, South Bank has risen like a Phoenix from the flames. The timely arrival of the World Expo in 1988 and recent financial investment has seen the area flourish into a world-class recreation area. From the State Library Of Queensland to the Queensland Maritime Museum to the Queensland Performing Arts Complex, the Parklands sprawl for 17 hectares along the banks of the Brisbane River. The striking man-made lagoon brings the beach to the City. Entertainment features regularly and Markets are held each weekend.
