Car Hire in Brisbane

Located in South-East Queensland, Brisbane is a bustling little city renowned for its tropical climate and world-class art galleries.

Although Brisbane is home to just 2.28 million people – significantly less than Sydney and Melbourne – the capital of the sunshine state punches far above its weight. Take a riverside stroll and ride the Brisbane Eye. Get cultured at the two major galleries and discover something new at the various museums dotted across the city. Escape the heat at the beach-style public pool in South Bank and indulge in a shopping spree on Queen Street Mall.

Whatever your preference, Brisbane is an excellent city to visit, especially for families. And the best way to take in the sights and sounds is to hire a car and explore the well-connected region by road.

Here’s everything you need to know about visiting Brisbane.

Family accommodation in Brisbane

You’ll find a number of family-friendly hotels, motels, resorts, and holiday parks in Brisbane and surrounding areas.

In the city, Capri by Fraser is a great option. For something a little more historic, try out the old-world-style Royal Albert Hotel. Astor Services Apartments in Spring Hill is a reliable option if you’d like a larger space to stay with full kitchen amenities.

With its large swimming pool and convenient location, Brisbane Holiday Village is yet another popular choice among families. This resort is a short 20-minute drive from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.

Things to do in Brisbane for young families

Brisbane is an extremely family-friendly city. It is worth noting, however, that it’s not uncommon to experience intense heat during the summer months. That can mean temperatures of up to 40 degrees Celsius. If you are travelling to Brisbane with young children, travelling by car out of the sun and in air conditioning is both safer and much more comfortable.

There is a ton for families to do in Brisbane. The Gallery of Modern Art (known as the GoMA) is a great place to start. The GoMA puts on children’s’ activities with every new exhibition. A quick walk from the GoMA and you’re at the Queensland Museum and Science Centre, another must-visit.

If you’re in town during the summer months, head to South Bank for a BBQ and a dip in the public beach-style pool, complete with a sandy shore perfect for building a sandcastle on. In the city, take a stroll down the vibrant Queen Street Mall, home to seemingly never-ending stores, cafes, and restaurants.

Weather in Brisbane

Brisbane is known for its warm – often scorching hot – climate. In summer, it’s not unusual to see long periods of 30-plus degree temperatures. Summer is also the wettest time of year and can bring huge tropical thunderstorms and occasional floods. If you visit in summer, it’s vital to remain hydrated and wear protective clothing: hats, long sleeves, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Winters are dry and mild. Daytime temperatures rarely drop below 20 degrees, but nights and early mornings can get quite crisp.

Autumn and spring are typically warm and comfortable, making these in-between seasons popular with visitors.
