Brisbane is one of the friendliest, most liveable and cosmopolitan cities in the world. It also boasts some of Australia’s best weather, with more sunny days per year than any other state capital, helping Queensland live up to its reputation as the nation’s “Sunshine State” and making it the perfect location for all manner of outdoor activities.
Described in this year’s Lonely Planet as “arguably Australia’s hippest city”, Brisbane boasts an eclectic and energetic mix of bars, clubs and live music venues, complimented by a flourishing arts scene, world-class galleries and a fabulous café culture. The multicultural population also help to make Queensland’s capital city a treasure trove for foodies with a plethora of unique eating establishments to uncover when wandering around the city streets and 1200km of walkways and bridges that connect the vibrant urban villages along the riverside.
The IMD’s Quality of Life Index consistently ranks Australia in its top ten countries and its 2010 report (which focuses on infrastructure, health and the state of the environment) placed Australia fourth in its international comparisons. Alongside that, the Mercer Worldwide Cost of Living Survey 2010 ranked Brisbane as one of Australia’s most affordable cities – more competitive than other Asia-Pacific locations such as Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney and Melbourne.
Of course locals have always known that Brissie offers the perfect lifestyle and it doesn’t take visitors long to understand why. Despite the transformation into a sleek, cosmopolitan city Brisbane still retains the laid-back, easy attitude of a small community.
