Once a sleepy riverside city, over the past five years\u00a0Brisbane<\/a>\u00a0has woken up. An influx of cool cafes, new hotels and a commitment to cutting edge art are to thank for the new vibe.\u00a0Expedia’s Kiwi travellers usually spend 1-2 nights in Brisbane. It’s not long but it’s long enough with our top five things to do on a short visit to Queensland\u2019s capital city.<\/p>\n

1. Try a new cafe<\/h2>\n

From fine dining to healthy and wholesome, Brisbane\u2019s food scene has been booming. Over the last few years some of Sydney and Melbourne\u2019s big names have opened secondary restaurants in the city \u2013 Aria and Sake are two very popular special occasion hot spots. If you\u2019re after something more relaxed, the brand new Nest Restaurant and Bar opened in January and is serving relaxed Asian fusion fare from inside the recently refurbished\u00a0Hotel Jen<\/a>. Hops Scotch and Beans is a caf\u00e9, bar and roastery in Petrie Terrace that serves healthy caf\u00e9 fare for breakfast and lunch before turning into whiskey and craft beer venue at night.<\/p>\n

2. Have a tiki cocktail<\/h2>\n

When Alfred and Constance came on the scene a few years ago, it brought life back into a traditional Queenslander in Fortitude Valley. Spread out across the building is everything from Alfred\u2019s Caf\u00e9 (known for decadent shakes and soft serve ice cream) to the White Lightening Tiki Bar (for those who want to party the night away with a classic tiki cocktail or two).<\/p>\n

3. Head to a gallery<\/h2>\n

Goma. An oldie but a goodie, the Gallery of Modern Art world renowned for bringing quirky, cutting edge, avant guarde and fun exhibitions to life. From aviary installations to giant slides and rooms filled with thousands of coloured dots, the exhibitions are suitable for all ages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
