Top travel guide Frommer’s says the transformation of the Brisbane River into a “world-class asset” has made the city a must-see destination.
Brisbane has shifted from “uneventful” to “dazzling” to become one of the world’s top destinations to visit in 2024, according to the international travel guide Frommer’s.“Brisbane’s reputation as a generic Aussie backwater is over. It belongs to the world now,” travel writer Jeanne Cooper says in the guide.“Wrapped around the winding Brisbane River in Queensland, Australia’s third-largest city has, until recently, been regarded as an uneventful town divided inconveniently by water.
The high-rise Queen’s Wharf casino, hotel and dining precinct, set to open in April 2024, includes a pedestrian bridge to South Bank, “the city’s vibrant and expanding cultural centre”.
“Beyond the central business district, the James Street precinct is a welcome testament to how urban development can champion local businesses and artisans rather than supplanting them,” Japhe writes in the magazine, which has a worldwide circulation.Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said on Wednesday Frommer’s recognition showed Brisbane had “unstoppable momentum”.
“Our river city is on an incredible trajectory, and this is just further recognition that Brisbane just keeps getting better,” he said. “Brisbane’s suburbs are great places to live, and our city’s incredible climate and world-class destinations, like South Bank and Howard Smith Wharves, are capturing hearts across the world.”
